Kind words from our clients

"I’m quite sure a portion of my sales can be attributed to the professional quality covers delivered by MaugeDesign."

One of the benefits of being a self-published author (yes, there are a few) is that I get a great deal of input into cover design. I have worked with award-winning graphic designer Carole Maugé-Lewis the past eleven years. Carole and her team at MaugeDesign specialize in trade paperback covers and have done an incredible job on my wraparound covers. Five of my seven books in the pic below were designed by Carole and her team.
– Jeff Dennis, Nightbird Publishing
“Carole has been our go-to book cover designer for over a decade.”

Why? She listens to our ideas and works with us to provide a design that meets our needs and exceeds our expectations. She familiarizes herself with each book to ensure that the design conveys its theme and tone. She creates several designs so that the final product often blends our favorite elements. She is fun to work with and finishes on schedule. The result is consistently a striking cover that exudes professionalism and grabs the attention of potential buyers. Most win awards. We recommend her without reservation!"
– Steve and Cherie Miller, Wisdom Creek Press
“Tremendous and Excellence Graphic Design Work”

Many thanks once again for your tremendous and excellent graphic design work on the Disaster Matters [DM] and Voices [VOX] book projects, as credited in both books
– Lasana M. Sekou, House of Nehesi Publishers
"Over the past twenty years I have consistently relied on her design expertise for creating text and signage for my national Public Art Sculpture projects."

Her reputation as a graphic design specialist goes beyond th design of book covers, and has attracted numerous academic ad commercial clients throughout the United States. Her recent textbooks on graphic design will be valuable resources for anyone interested in design education.
