It is truly an honour to have been invited once again to contribute as the illustrator for the book covers of Story Factory’s 2023 Year of Novella and Year of Poetry programs.
Working with the creative minds behind the 13 novellas and 16 poetry collections that successfully completed the program this year has been a rewarding experience. These talented students have not only embraced the challenges of the writing process but have also seen their works come to life in published form.
Collaborating closely with each student, I delved into their unique visions, exchanging ideas and refining concepts to ensure the final cover reflected their artistic intentions. Witnessing the dedication and passion of these emerging writers, I can’t wait to see the remarkable journeys their literary pursuits will take them on in the future.
Their publications are available for purchase on the Story Factory online bookshop.
And to my talented book designer @cassandre.collins thank you for bringing my words to life in such a visually stunning way. Your creative vision, attention to detail, and artistic flair have transformed my poetry into a work of art…I cannot thank you enough for making my dreams a tangible reality.
