Book Cover Designer needed
I'm just about to publish a book on Kindle only and need a cover designed. I would dearly like a local designer to do it but his quote was way too expensive and rightly so as he's brill, however I would have to sell an awful lot of books just to cover the cover!
I know they say get the best designer you can but I just can't afford it. Where does everybody go to get their covers designed if they are self-publishing with a budget?

I'd like to try making a cover but can't see how.

Katie (Magic Owl) has done such a good cover for my most recent book that everyone who sees it seems to want to buy it - can't do better than that!
Thanks for your recommendation, Mutley
