Since 2017 Ana has focused on book cover design primarily, becoming a known book cover designer within Canada’s self-publishing industry. We have also worked with multiple publishers including Cascadia Author Services, Printorium Bookworks / Island Blue, Books by You, First Steps Publishing, and Canadian Scholars.
Additionally, we assist self-publishing authors with their branding as an author, designing their WIX website, logo, and marketing materials, such as posters, bookmarks, business cards and graphics for social media- so they can promote their book themselves or establish their visual identity.
OUR COVERS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.
Eight of the book covers we have designed covers for have made Amazon Bestseller titles, some without any prior marketing in the most competitive categories and markets. Time Noir by David Raymond was in the #1 spot in New Releases in the US for over a month. The Naidisbo by Megan Wood landed on the coveted #1 spot while still on pre-sale! Plus, our customers love their covers, just read what they have to say here!
At Ana Chabrand Design House, we are extremely passionate about each project. We design book covers that can truly tell your story, thanks to our visual storytelling skills, our passion and our marketing-thinking. We not only design a cover that you love, but we design a cover that is professional, that fits your genre, targets your audience the best and most importantly- a cover that stands out. We design covers that leave a strong impression from the 1st look by leaving potential readers intrigued- they'll just want to know more.

Concept Design Proposal
-
All our covers include a Professional Concept Design proposal, this proposal is based on your brief, story, ideas. This means, prior to starting on your project, we do research, create moodboards and conceptualize something that balances your story, your audience, genre and ralated trends. Conceptualized with our visual storytelling skills our clients rave about & our marketing-thinking, this ensures the cover is not only pretty but is a successful design and allows us to be the same page with you.
HOW WE WORK
from book cover proposal to finish product
With marketing and design-thinking in mind, it is important for us to fully understand your story, genre and your target audience. We do our research and envision what sort of cover would work for your book, taking into account all of your ideas (if you have any), and brainstorming how we can encompass your book's soul in a visual format, as well as what style would attract your audience best. We then create a concept for you and describe what we would do for your cover (e.g. "we'd use this type of font style, and illustrate this element from your story in this way") providing you with some examples of similar covers or styles so you can visualize it fully. Once you approve that concept, we set to work!
We call this process visual storytelling, and it has allowed us to create unique and outstanding book covers that not only our authors love, but are professionally designed and therefore would help you market your book best and attract your desired audience.
