What Sets Us Apart
Book Cover Design is Our Expertise
At Mayfly, we are experts in book design—not just graphic designers who know how to design a book. We understand what works in the marketplace, and we know how to make your book stand out from the crowd in a way that reflects your own unique style, resulting in an attention-grabbing cover you can showcase with pride.
A Clearly Defined Process Makes Us Easy to Work With
At the kick-off of your project, you will be assigned a project manager and a book designer. Your project manager will lay out a schedule, communicate with you often, and perform regular status calls to make sure your questions are answered and all tasks stay on track. You will also have a direct line to your designer, who will listen to your needs and ideas to create a cover that truly reflects your book's story and genre and your overall vision.
Once we have a rough manuscript and some key design information, we can begin the book cover design process.
This process includes:
- 3+ custom cover concepts for your review
- Several rounds of changes based on your feedback
- Regular status calls
- Final high-res graphic

We are a small group of dedicated professionals based in the Midwest, and we pride ourselves in our professionalism, customer service, and high-quality design work. We are easy to communicate with, proactive, and provide each of our customers with a personalized and enjoyable experience for the best possible results.

Customer Reviews
SVP has completed 28 books in 12 years. Bravo Zulu was our first coffee table book, jam packed with full color photos of WWI and WWII warbird aircraft, 200 lush pages. We’ve done other traditional books with them before, but this was a whole nother thing.
Mayfly took our photographs and our 50,000 words and created a masterpiece. The cherry on top is dust jacket using the photo of the author flying the Red Baron’s 1917 Fokker DR-1, leather helmet, goggles, and white scarf flying above the clouds. This project was fun but seriously challenging. The Mayfly team rolled with the many punches, false starts and speed bumps, and got us across the finish line on time. They’re a pleasure to work with, and they know how to do this stuff right! We will be back.
—Joseph DiNucci, Silicon Valley Press
I’m so happy that I worked with Mayfly on my book. Everyone I talk to about it mentions how beautiful and professional it looks. Working with them on the design was a great experience, as they listened to and incorporated my input and ideas but were not afraid to suggest possibilities I hadn’t thought of as well. I will definitely be working with them again and recommending them to other writers.
—Sigrid Brown, author of Girl in Duluth
