Covers by Doni is a boutique book cover design studio run by A. Donelle Waikel — a designer with a passion for storytelling through visual art. Every cover created here is crafted with intention, blending artistic instinct with a deep understanding of genre, reader expectations, and market trends.
This studio exists for authors who believe their book deserves a cover that truly reflects the soul of their story. Whether you're an independent self-publisher bringing your debut novel to life, a seasoned author ready for a fresh new look, or a publishing house seeking elevated, editorial-quality design — Covers by Doni is built for you.
The design process is collaborative and personal. Doni takes the time to understand your vision, your genre, and your audience before a single element is placed. The result is a cover that doesn't just look beautiful — it communicates, it sells, and it stands out on any shelf or screen.
From lush fantasy worlds and dark romance to cozy contemporary fiction and literary fiction, the portfolio spans a wide range of genres and aesthetics. Every project is unique, and every cover is exclusive — once sold, it belongs to you alone and will never be resold.
