The book cover Kareen designed captured the essence of PeaceMaker, my speculative thriller. She's very talented and guided me through the process of designing a cover. Plus Kareen's fun to work with!

"Kareen - I can't thank you enough for the book cover work you did on Colorado: a Silly Guide to the Centennial State. It's an eye-catcher and has certainly increased my wholesale orders from gift stores and book store retail sales too. Your design charges were very reasonable and kept my production cost down boosting my bottom line. You'll be getting a call when our next book is ready for cover design."

"Kareen Ross was excellent to work with designing the cover for, "The Preschooler's Guide to L.A. and Orange Counties." She understood my ideas and made them happen.

"Hi Kareen- Just a note to say I enjoyed working with you, appreciated your professionalism and the promptness with which you tackled my project - front and back cover design for my upcoming book. Your design concept worked well, and everyone I've shown it to simply loves what you've done, me included. Also, the project moved along at a steady pace and never stalled out, which is a miracle in the world of design and printing. I will be sure to tell other authors about your work, and with luck and sales, perhaps I will be
using you again in the not
too far future."

There is no one quite like Kareen Ross when it comes to book cover designing. She literally brought tears to my eyes when I saw the first cover
she did for me. After months of being told it couldn't be done by other designer, there it was. Maybe I shouldn't say it, but based on inside information, I know that she does the job the big publishers do, for a fraction of the cost. As of 3/2008, I have sold 42,000 books off of the four covers she's designed for me.

I've known my instincts for a long time and I've learned to trust them unequivocally. Kareen's name was included in a long list of book designers and cover artists recommended by another author. I visited her website along with many others just to check them out. As I viewed her web site, something clicked inside that told me she was the one for me. I was right. Learning that I was a novice to the process, she quickly put me at ease. She didn't try to sell me anything - she just listened. When we ended that first phone conversation, I felt confident and excited. Throughout the process she has been very patient as I stumbled along. She promptly returned my calls and she always reminded me that it was my schedule and my time table that controlled the process. Once I was ready with my final draft, she quickly took over and swiftly did her part to convert my manuscript into a real book. I am pleased with the final product and will continue to use her. I strongly recommend her services.

"The first time I actually met Kareen Ross, we had been working together for months and months. When I looked at her, I suddenly felt overwhelmed with emotion, as if I were encountering the soldier who had stood with me in the trenches of an awesome battle that we had miraculously survived. During our work together, Kareen was a brilliant partner, intuiting when to lead and when to follow. For instance, she didn’t start the meter running until we had discovered the perfect “easy-breezy” interior look for my complex workbook; plus she was extremely responsive to my preferences, even when they were not her first choices. On the other hand, Kareen spoke up when she felt my ideas were off-base (thank goodness!) and she was infinitely patient with my shifting deadlines and inflexible perfectionism. Kareen was also the total business woman and communicated very clearly about her contracts and conditions. I always knew where I stood. Going through this process with Kareen has been an unforgettable experience, I am thrilled with my beautiful book and will call her again!

"Kareen Ross did a superb job designing my book "Remembrances of Times Past" Because this book has 256 photographs it was so difficult to lay out that another book designer refused to do it and sent it back. Not only did Kareen do an outstanding job, she did it in record time! I was also thrilled with the imaginative and eye-catching cover design. Kareen is a multitalented person!"

I can’t tell you how much fun I had working with Kareen Ross on the book cover and website she designed for me. It was a joy to work with her because we laughed about so many things. But in all seriousness, she is a fine, creative designer who made both my book and website look great! Her expertise is amazing, and you’ll never be sorry for contracting her to do this kind of work for you.

“Kareen Ross is a real pro! I showed my book to fellow professors and authors at a national conference, and they were extremely impressed by Kareen’s topnotch work. She is a fine artist, an efficient businessperson, and a delight to work with! There is no doubt where I’ll go for design of my next book cover.”

"The covers Kareen designed for Freewheeling Press were terrific. She knows what she's doing, and she is a pleasure to work with. She listened carefully to our thoughts and came back with covers that met all of our needs and looked great. She easily met all of our deadlines, too. We'll definitely be getting in touch with her again when our next book is ready."
