I had the pleasure of working with Christine at Open Book Design on my book, DEEPER THAN BLUE. I could not be more satisfied with the results. From the very beginning, the process was smooth, professional, and incredibly collaborative. Christine understood my vision for the book and brought it to life in a way that exceeded my expectations.
The cover design was stunning and the attention to detail was remarkable. The experience of working with such a talented book designer made the entire process enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled, but truly dedicated to making your book the best it can be, look no further! I highly recommend Christine to any author in need of expert cover design and formatting services.
Many thanks to Christine for making DEEPER THAN BLUE really shine!

It was a pleasure working with Christine Horner at Book Cover Whisperer/Open Book Design to complete my book about Thomas Downing, New York’s Oyster King. From the start, she was sensitive both to my priorities and the book’s content. Her design was subtle, but striking and definitely unique. In addition, it was all done with the utmost professionalism. Integrity and efficiency must be her middle names.

Christine was consistently gracious and responsive to my questions or suggestions. Moreover, she patiently explained the technical factors she had to consider, all of which were foreign to me. In fact, I am so technically challenged that I needed her help in completing the final steps of the publishing process. I remain profoundly grateful and will certainly seek her assistance on my next project.

I worked with Christine of The Book Cover Whisperer and Open Book Design LLC on the formatting for my debut epic high fantasy novel Ruinwaster’s Bane: The Annals of the Last Emissary. She was helpful in guiding me through the process and understanding this step in independent publishing. Her work was fantastic and truly stands out when compared with the formatting I’ve seen in the works of other indie authors. When readers open the book at my signings, it looks so polished and professional, like a traditionally published book. I look forward to working with Christine again on the second novel in my series and highly recommend her for your formatting needs as well!

Christine seeks to build a relationship with her authors who know that they can trust her creativity and suggestions. She has excellent accessibility and was so outstanding and helpful that I used her to design both of the covers for my hundreds of true police stories in DALLAS COP Volume II & DALLAS COP Volume III.

Christine created a gorgeous dreamscape cover for my fantasy novel, "Ara of the Greenspell". She synthesized a jumbled basket of design preferences, likes and dislikes into a finished product that is far better than I could have imagined!

When I decided to self-publish my first novel, Raging River, I knew that it was important to have a professional design the cover and interior for both print and eBook versions. It's crucial to make a good first impression, and having a well-designed book can make all the difference. I selected Christine, The Book Whisperer, and she did not disappoint. The book cover she designed for me was absolutely stunning. As I passed the picture of the cover around to friends and family they all had the exact same reaction, “Wow, that looks professional.” She did an equally impressive job with my interior and eBook design. I highly recommend Christine. She was easy to work with, always met her timelines, and completed my project ahead of schedule.

I worked with Christine (The Book Cover Whisperer) on cover and interior design for my debut novel, THE OWNER & THE WIFE. From the start, Christine was always prompt with her responses which made for a seamless process. Her work is top quality, and she truly brought my novel to life with her design work. I highly recommend Christine for your next project, and I look forward to working with her again on my next book!

Christine, The Book Cover Whisperer, was so helpful and professional while working on my book, Spectacular In A Losing Effort. She is a wealth of knowledge and always willing to explain the process and the ins-and-outs of self-publishing. Her assistance reduced my learning curve by months! She also did a spectacular job on my cover design; beautifully done. I highly recommend her to anyone publishing a book!
