Testimonials
Mark Stellinga
"When I discovered Sam's site, I knew she was definitely capable of creating precisely what I was looking for in the way of covers for my forthcoming novels. Her cooperation in my efforts to get them "just right" was so appreciated. She is both versatile and very experienced...what more could you ask for. And she's been a delight to work with."

Book Title: Iceman To The Internet
"From a grab bag of photos and facts, Samantha
Wall created an imaginative cover that touches my core. Instinctively
divining its importance to my narrative, she presents Escumbuit
Island as a tranquil refuge from change, my safe haven in a world
evolving from horse drawn ice wagons to Internet chat rooms in nine
decades."

Book Title: Release The Butterfly
"When I asked Sam to work on my book cover, my first letter
was long and vague, explaining at length about how it should convey
inspiration, creativity, peace, the flight of the soul, etc. Poor
Sam! Still, she thought about it, and within a few days sent back
an image. I was doubtful that anyone could capture what I wanted
and was ready for a long back-and-forth about it.
Well, she “nailed it’ on the first try; this image,
with a few additions of color and background, is on the final cover...Read more.

Book Title: Salem
"When I first contacted Sam, I had some fixed ideas about
the cover in my head. I gave Sam a plot breakdown and she was
able to produce a cover that swept away all of my own ideas and
somehow got to the very essence of the book: subtle but disturbing.
Sam's enthusiasm was a pleasure and the finished product shows
the true value in consulting a professional."

Book Title: Please Remember
"My grateful thanks to Samantha Wall for a brilliant cover. Sam managed to produce, on the first attempt, an image that I had in my mind but found difficult to convey into words, offering her only jumbled thoughts and a photograph. It truly has been a pleasure working with Sam, I highly recommend her."

Book Title: The Phoenix
"Samantha did a terrific job on my cover for The Phoenix.
I had an idea of what I wanted, and sent her a very poor quality
scan of a 150-year-old suede leather book cover with tarnished gold
details. I had no real hope that it would work. I don't know how
she did what she did, but the cover looks like--old suede leather
with tarnished gold details. Exactly what I
wanted! Kudos, Sam!"

Book Title: Striper Chronicles
"Few illustrators have both exceptional artistic talent and the ability to listen to artistic specifications and then draw fabulous realistic images from words. Samantha Wall, can do that and more..... you know it's talent when you have difficulty discerning an illustration from a photo - Samantha Wall's illustrations look as if they came from a camera."

Title: A Londoners' Diary 1926-2001
"Samantha Wall is one of those rare individuals who possesses both imagination and a superb practical talent. She was quick to propose an impressive image of the desired style for my father's autobiography, and within a very small number of revisions, guided by our feedback, she honed it to produce what I consider to be the perfect cover artwork for the book. Samantha was a pleasure to work with, and I would unreservedly recommend her."

"If you're looking for an artist who will listen to your instructions; is patient, amenable to making changes, and produces within a set time frame; look no further. She made an exquisite CD cover for me working solely from instructions from me, via e-mail. I described an idea and she turned that idea into an exquisite work of art.
Thank you Samantha!"-Magdalena Obert Published By Butterfly Press |
"Two heads are sometimes better than one, and ideally a book cover comes from both author and designer. That's what happened with Allegiance, my latest novel. This may be the hardest job for a designer, to listen well to an opinionated author and also offer her own ideas. I gave Samantha a photo and she produced a background for it that is a work of art in its own right. Clever book covers are not uncommon; artistic covers are somewhat rare."-Jim Shackelford |
"When I decided to self publish my book, I went to a lot of different places looking for cover art. I got so frustrated by the process, I put the project aside for a whole year. Finally I found Sam. Not only was the price reasonable, but she clearly had an interest in getting the cover done the way I wanted it- adapting her style to my tastes. She always had lots of ideas, and was a talented artist, fulfilling the promise of a years worth of work in just a few weeks.
THANKS SAM! "

"We're known as a publisher of nonfiction, so when we published our first novel, we felt that we had to prove ourselves all over again. Therefore, although we've produced most of our covers in-house, it was important to work with an artist who specializes in book covers for Purple Sun. Sam was suggested to us by a friend, and turned out to be an outstanding choice.
We started with a general idea of what we wanted for a cover, and even had purchased rights to a photo that fit the landscape of Larry McAuliffe's epic Vietnam novel. Sam did a masterful job of manipulating the photo, taking out some elements, adding others, and changing the colors to perfectly reflect the mood of Purple Sun.
The cover is striking--people notice it right away on book displays and in stores. Sam's work has been a crucial part of the book's success."
-Steve Carlson
"thank you for your endless support on making this book cover. When I first contacted you, I wasn't exactly sure about what I wanted yet you didn't give up on me. I cannot forget the number of times I asked you to alter this and that.I was never sure of which file formats were appropriate for printing or at what stage the barcode is put on the cover. Throughout this uncertainity of what to do, you remained supportive. I look forward to working with you on my next book and I will definitely recommend you to other writers."
