There’s a lot that goes into the production of the books you
love, you know, in addition to all the writing. Publicity, sales,
editorial, production… there are so many parts that come together to
make a book happen and get it into your favorite local bookstore. And
there’s one in particular we notice quite often, but never really dig
deep into.
The cover.
Just who is it that makes our books look so lovely? Can you tell
when a book is designed by a particular designer or illustrator? You’d
be surprised. Welcome to By the Cover, where I’ll be spotlighting some
of those artists that make your books look so gorgeous.
WILL STAEHLE is a freelance book designer residing
in Seattle, Washington, and the former Art Director for HarperCollins.
From his iconic work on Michael Crichton’s novels to his colorful,
vibrant covers for Michael Chabon, if you’re a book lover, you’ve seen
his iconic work. Some of his recent covers include Victoria Schwab’s A Darker Shade of Magic and Ernest Cline’s Armada.
Will answered some questions on how he got his start in publishing,
some of his favorite projects, and covers that didn’t quite make it.

I spy, with my little eye, a novel I am really excited to read! @allthebirdsinthesky
Still so incredibly thrilled about that cover. It makes SUCH a huge difference.
