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...

Ulysses Tuggy

"Tom Edwards not only brought my story to life with his art, but the fire and emotion he put on the digital canvas has also been an inspiration for my stories yet to come. As a first-time author, I didn't know what to expect, but I believe Tom has set a high standard for me of responsiveness and professionalism, where all of my feedback was addressed in a creative process that made things better than I could have dared hope for. The whole process was much easier than I expected and I look forward to working with him again."

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"

James L. Davis

"Working with Tom Edwards was an absolute delight. I could not be happier with the illustrations he created for my series. I knew in my mind's eye the world I imagined with words, but the process of working with Tom, and watching him bring my vision (and more) visually to life has been extraordinary. I could think of no one I would recommend more enthusiastically than Tom Edwards Design."

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."

Anthony James

"Tom Edwards has created the covers for my entire six-book Obsidian Fleet series. At first, I was concerned about the step-up in price from my usual covers, but in reality, you get what you pay for and a book cover is the first thing a reader sees. If the art doesn’t catch a potential reader’s eye, they’ll skip straight over to the next book on the webpage. Tom’s art is up there with the best, increasing the chance a reader will give my books more than a split-second glance and from there go on to make a purchase. Tom’s work is top-notch, he’s professional, responsive, and reliable. Highly recommended."

Nathan Hystad - Owner, Woodbridge Press

"I've used Tom Edwards for five covers so far (more scheduled), and he has been nothing but professional, efficient, and just overall awesome. Initially, I thought of Tom as the SciFi cover guy, but I've had him make fantasy and a YA Urban Fantasy cover now, and they are just as good as his other ones. He is up for any challenge and makes the whole custom cover process simple. I know that having a Tom Edwards cover gives my book a fighting chance out there, and they always grab attention."
