Nova Book Design is the crossroads of my favorite things: incredible stories wrapped in beautiful covers designed to sell!
Hey there, I'm Andria!
I've been writing since I could hold a pencil, and got the writing bug when I published my first book in First Grade by winning the National Young Author's Contest. Not only did I study literature and earn a BA in English, but I still continue to learn the craft of writing and have studied privately under poet and writing coach, Christi Krug, chidlren's author Jill Rubalcaba, screenwriter Cynthia Whitcomb, indie author and writing coach Sarra Cannon, and legendary storyteller, Michael Hauge. I'm a steadfast plotter, and write across genres, including short and long narratives, poetry, and screenwriting.

Love of reading with hot drinks started early.
I'm like you, a writer!

Writing is work! And it can be lonely, grueling, doubt-riddled labor. But it can also be a playground, and there can be community and comfort along the way.
So believe me when I say "I Get it!"
I was the kid in 2nd grade commissioned to draw pictures of horses, mermaids, and sharks by fellow students in exchange for their carton of chocolate milk at lunch or that pretty agate they found on the playground. When I discovered digital art 20 years ago, I found an entirely new medium of untapped creative potential. I learned industry-standard digital design software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lightroom, and rather fell in love with all things design, including website design. I keep my finger on the pulse of covers that sell according to the genres, so not only do my clients get beautiful book covers, they are designed to reach the heart of the target audience and sell.
But I'm also an artist.

I studied the new-ish field of UX/UI (User Experience/User Interface) Design, so my designs are not only professional, intuitive, simple, and beautiful, but they're focused on the audience and end-user. This applies to both print and book cover design as well as social media and websites. I'm constantly challenged by UX/UI due to it's rapidly changing nature as new user data surfaces, but I love to learn and continue to grow and study so that my work is state-of-the-art and reflects most advanced knowledge of user-focused and audience-centered design so your work attracts the perfect crowd.
