Bio
Beth Webb
I hired Markos to create a new cover for my YA novel Star Dancer, and I am very glad I did. This book has had several incarnations, including two designs by the prestigious Macmillan Children's Books. I can honestly say that Markos' design has more storytelling and visual impact than any previous covers. Markos is great to work with; he's very professional, he reports in at every stage (if required), yet he is also happy to work on his own, making him a great team member. He can take criticism and direction with a clear head and a sense of humour. He works to deadlines efficiently and effectively. I will certainly be using him again. Do contact me if you have any questions about Markos' work.
