My name is Alex McCarthy and I’m a graphic designer and illustrator with a passion for books. I love books, their physical quality and the stories contained within their words. My father, Shaun McCarthy, pen name Desmond Cory, was a very successful author of detective mystery novels, so I’d like to think it was no surprise that I ended up immersing myself in the world of book design.
When I start designing a cover, I’m thinking about how this could improve your sales and marketing. If I can touch that soft spot inside your readers and make them want to buy your book then my work is done. I love what I do and I’m sure you’ll love it too!
