Diana and Her Ghosts Cover by Marguerite Sauvage

"Working with 42 Fold was a dream. I never imagined I'd find such a wonderful group that delivered such beautiful final work.

I'm actually sad that my next book isn't ready yet, because I'm so excited to come back and do it all again!" -Michael Blatherwick (Author)-

All That Holds Between Dust Jacket and Case by Marguerite Sauvage. Merch Design by Grace Desmarais

"42Fold Limited brought my hardcover special edition to life in ways I never imagined.

Professional, prompt, and thoroughly invested in the project, they set the tone from the very first conversation. What impressed me most was how seamlessly they coordinated two illustrators for the covers and merchandise; both artists clearly understood the vision, and the studio worked hard to make that alignment happen.

Throughout the process, they handled communication on all sides with grace, shared progress proactively, and never left me wondering where things stood. That consistency turned the collaboration into a true partnership.

If you're an author looking for a team that will treat your book with the same care you put into writing it, I cannot recommend 42Fold highly enough." -SJ Lee (Author)-

Time to be more active on here! Here's an amazing fully illustrated wraparound cover by @skyepatridge.bsky.social for E.S. Brandon's next book! In the author’s own words, EDOW is a sci-fi rom com where a librarian from Seattle gets abducted by hot aliens who look like elves from LOTR👀

Cover for Elizabeth, Destroyer of Worlds by Skylar Patridge in a vintage sci-fi cover aesthetics

Fully illustrated wraparound cover by Skylar Patridge for the Elizabeth, Destroyer of Worlds by E.S. Brandon book. A 'hot alien' is seen in the front with the FMC turning back to look at us, while a ship race happens in the back of the cover between her ship and the enemy's flotilla. A close up of what the bad guys look like can be seen in the sky next to the planet alignment.
