Accolades
Give Edgeofwater the right basic materials and she'll create the perfect cover for your book.
Seven years earlier, my husband and I had been on holiday staying with dear friends south of Biarritz in France. On one particular morning during our stay, we had walked onto a long, sandy beach, the six of us intermingled with a group of at least ten nuns, all dressed in white. I had taken out my camera in the hopes of capturing a picture of the nuns on the walkway to the beach. But one of them turned around and said, "Don't you know it's a sin to photograph a nun?" Was she joking? Was she right? I wasn't sure and I put my camera away. But, already on the beach, our host hadn't been admonished and he took several photographs that he shared with us later.
In early 2015, I looked at Hubert's pictures again. And there was one that made my heart soar. Would Hubert Dumont give me permission? He did. Was the file large enough? It was. Could Marla use it. She absolutely could and did, and my gorgeous, heart-soaring cover became a reality under Marla's sure hand. Thank you, Marla, for doing such excellent cover design work. This cover is helping to sell my book. ~ Nina Shoroplova, author, Trust the Mystery

"Edge Of Water did a wonderful job on my book cover! She respected the design brief and source materials, was quick to incorporate suggestions and changes when I asked, and made a beautiful cover. I would be honored to work with her again!" ~ Serena Beauchamp, author, The God Jesus Knew
"Having a book cover created is definitely one of the most emotional and stressful parts of publishing a new book. It's the first thing people see, the first impression, w hat prompts a person to pick up the book and take a look or walk on by. Marla at Edge of Water Designs created for me exactly what I was looking for. Edge of Water Designs took the concepts from the design brief, understood my needs and created the most amazing design that truly embraces the core of my story. Marla was able to bring out the action and adventure, the mystery and intrigue, all in a classy and extremely professional way. Marla was able to take my thoughts and with her own creativity bring my ideas to life. Working with Marla was an amazing experience. I felt confident that I had found an artist that understood my needs and was capable of delivering. She is accommodating and will do her best to create what you ask but also has the experience to know what will look good and offer ideas in a professional and easy going manner. The entire process from beginning to end was an exciting and enjoyable experience working with someone on an almost daily basis passing ideas back and forth until finally coming up with the perfect design. I don’t just like the book cover, I love it! It wasn’t something I had to settle on, it was exactly what I was looking for and Edge of Water made sure I was completely satisfied with the final product. As an author with many more ideas in the works, I can honestly say that Edge of Water Designs has a return client." ~ Michael Alexander, author, Thieves of Elysium Risen From Ashes
"Edge of Water Designs is great! She came up with designs that were along the lines of what I envisioned, but also added some of her own personal touches and ideas, and all of them were wonderful. She researched more of who I am, so that she could design something that reflected me and I really appreciated that attention to detail. She was very helpful and she was always prompt in getting back to me. My experience with her has been nothing but pleasant and rewarding. Highly recommended!" ~ Janice Burt, author, Bits & Pieces of a Broken Heart
"Edge of Water Designs created an awesome book cover, turning my somewhat vague concept brief and turning it into a brilliant work of art. She was very quick in responding to feedback and making changes to the original design until I was more than 100% satisfied with the final outcome. She was incredibly easy to work with, and I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a design!" ~ Jason Evans, author, The Chronicles of Casaara
"Edge Of Water Designs created a brilliant book cover. They came up with some excellent initial ideas, but more importantly, were prepared to listen to my suggestions and feedback, working tirelessly and guiding me through the whole process, until I ended up with a book cover I am 100% happy with. I can't recommend this helpful and professional graphic designer highly enough." ~ Roger Barry, author, Running on Empty
