About Me



I founded Tom Edwards Design in early 2015 with the goal of producing top-quality artwork for clients, regardless of the subject or genre. I've had the privilege of working with top sci-fi authors like G.J. Ogden, Scott Bartlett, James Rosone, Ken Lozito, Daniel Arenson, and Craig Martelle. These collaborations have honed my artistic skills and deepened my understanding of the genre, allowing me to create iconic covers that resonate with fans.

I am passionate about helping new authors bring their unique worlds to life. Guiding emerging voices through the creative process and watching their stories take flight is incredibly rewarding. Working directly with authors lets me understand their vision and translate it into captivating covers that resonate with readers. This collaborative process has enriched my creative journey and forged strong, lasting relationships with clients. My blend of artistic skill and genre-specific knowledge has made me a sought-after artist, contributing to many successful book projects.

If you're looking for a book cover artist with a passion for sci-fi and fantasy, let's collaborate to create a captivating cover that will enchant readers and perfectly encapsulate your story.

Author Testimonials

Hundreds of authors have trusted me with their vision, here are a few...

Ben Winter

"People say you shouldn’t judge a book by the cover, but that’s nonsense, literally everyone does. Therefore, finding the right cover artist is serious business. How can you be sure an artist will successfully satisfy both your desire as an author to see your labour of love visualised, and also make sure you have an eye-catching design for your audience. Tom walks that line brilliantly. From the first concept I knew I’d found the right person to bring my novel to life. He understood the brief completely, and seeing the elements appear on the cover has been one of the more satisfying parts of the publishing journey for me. Tom is not only an exceptionally talented artist, but a very professional and easy to work with person. I'm looking forward to working with him again"

Ira Heinichen

"Tom is the consummate professional. Not only is his artwork top-of-the-line, he is communicative and clear, he keeps his deadlines, and he both listens to the input I give him and offers his own insights as to what will work best. I've worked with Tom on three book covers, and he has exceeded my expectations each and every time. His ability to translate a written brief into a captivating image that tells a story and excites the reader is truly exceptional. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have worked with someone so talented and professional. I offer Tom the highest recommendation I can possibly think of."

C. R. Hayes

"Writing a work of fiction was fun; however, publishing that work of fiction was not fun. Fortunately, one part of the uphill climb that was enjoyable was the cover creation process with Tom Edwards. Seeing what was once in my mind’s eye come to life in the physical world was one of the high points of my writing experience. Given the critical role the cover plays in the publishing process, I’m glad I found an expert. Tom has been very responsive to my detailed specifications. His communications are clear, succinct, and timely. His work is superb. I can’t imagine finding a better artist. I’ve already asked him to do the covers for the next two books I’ve already written."

Colin W Coyle, Parvus Press

"Tom Edwards is a stunning talent and an absolute joy to work with. He has a singular talent for translating our scene descriptions and story notes into a brilliant design that captures precisely the mood and messaging we want from cover art. For the cover art for Vick's Vultures, we ended up taking his first draft as final with only the slightest modifications. Best of all; he was in constant communication with us throughout the process and delivered the final artwork ahead of schedule. If you need cover art, you need Tom Edwards."

Si Clarke

"When I was working on my latest novel, I knew stock art wasn’t going to cut it. Weirdly, there just weren’t any stock photos of day-glow pink spaceships shaped like teapots. Who could have predicted? I set out to find an artist, researching science fiction art. And then I researched some more. The same name kept popping up. Tom Edwards. I messaged him – and I’m so glad I did. I mean, have you seen the glorious, ridiculous, completely unique cover image he created for The Left Hand of Dog? I’m a very happy customer. And just like Arnie says, I’ll be back"

Dorian Edgerly

"I couldn't be more pleased with the work of Tom Edwards. He has completed work on the cover for the first novel in my science fiction series and I plan on returning to him for each one going forward. Tom is professional, responsive, and listens to author feedback, delivering an eye-catching and cohesive product even with very little information regarding the story and universe. It is no wonder so many authors seek out this artist."
