"Roderick has a real talent for illustrating and designing eye-catching covers. Unlike so many designers today, he doesn't settle for generic stock designs but actually creates something new and original.  He's also astoundingly fast with turnaround time, without sacrificing quality.  We've been really impressed with the five covers he has done for us so far and look forward to working with him on others in the future."

—VALANCOURT BOOKS,  James D. Jenkins

"After trawling the web for an artist whose covers had the professional and creative flair I was looking for, I finally found KLR Covers and was blown away by the quality of work delivered in such a short time and for such a reasonable price. He was extremely accommodating in bringing my original vision for the cover to life and in making adjustments across versions until the piece was perfect. I can't recommend his services enough." 

—GUY LINGHAM,  Please Don't Bring Your Greatsword Into My Office  

"I’m the proverbial client from hell: a former adman with exacting standards and an obsession about getting every tiny detail just right. Working with me is a truly tough test demanding total commitment to the job at hand.

Roderick passed this test with flying colours, continuing to work on our project even while struck by coronavirus. His talent, dedication, and flexibility are second to none, and I cannot recommend him highly enough."

—MICHAEL RYMASZEWSKI,  Fun In Acapulco 

"I trusted in Roderick's expertise, and couldn't have been more satisfied. He immediately grasped the vibe I was going for, and delivered a cover that I am incredibly excited to showcase with my collection of short stories. I simply cannot express how delightful the entire process was, and cannot wait to utilize Roderick's unprecedented talent again in the future."

—DYLAN STAFFORD,  We Are Alone  

"I was absolutely blown away by the work I received on the cover for my upcoming book. Multiple versions were so good it felt like choosing between my children. Such creative ideas with so little guidance. I'll be a return customer for sure."

—PEEL STREET POETRY,  Birth is the Coward's Way In

"I've had a positive experience with Roderick and have even asked him to create 2 more covers for me, since the first one was so good... and we're still going! Very professional, patient, and talented. Highly recommend!"

—J.A. MERKEL,  The Fall Gauntlet (series)

"Big thanks again for the amazing cover art for The Incident on Melancholy Lane! It was worth every penny and I absolutely love it. Working with you was both easy and a pleasure and I'd love to do it again sometime! Have a Happy Holiday!"

—AARON BLOODGOOD,  The Incident on Melancholy Lane

"Roderick created an excellent cover for my book. He was recommended by a dear friend of mine, and his work certainly exceeded expectations. We worked together amicably on the book design, and he ventured great suggestions that enhanced the quality of the already sophisticated design. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs excellent book design at reasonable cost."

—AKINSOLA JEJE,  Write About Here

"Just had a cover for an upcoming book designed by them. Loved it. Was sent 5 options at the start, all good, 2 were near perfect from the word go. The creative ways they matched thematically with the book was spot on. Revisions were responsive and attentive to detail. The final product was better than I could have imagined. 10/10"

—HENRIK HOEG,  Birth is the Coward's Way In

"Insanely amazing work!! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and exceeded expectations on communication overall!! Thank you again!"

—VERONICA MINISSALE,  Expectations

"Excellent work and money well spent. I like to believe I am not a micromanager, but I sort of am. Roderick was patient and communicative with me. These are big things with me considering how flaky artists are (writers included).

Once we learned each other's rhythms, the dude had a finished product for me in less than five days. Considering we never worked together before, I was impressed. I'm sure the next go around will be even quicker. Will 100% work with again and refer."

—C.E. WHITAKER III,  Cordially Uninvited

"Good Tidings Roderick Brydon / hails from Bristol / comes packing pistols / the rovers, they need the luck of a 4 leaf clover / artistry that's enlightening / horror drawings frightening / turn around time fast like lightning / whatever you choose / you cannot lose / forget the rest / he's simply the best / will satisfy your literary request / time to step up / get another deal set up."

—MATT OVERS,  Downbeach  

"Roderick Brydon created and designed the book cover for my latest, The Raven Pendant. Working solely from a photograph, he went through several iterations of the cover until he came up with his own, perfect design — I have had unanimous approval so far — it follows the story line, stands out, and scales well to a thumbnail. The paperback cover uploaded perfectly the first time to KDP; no adjustments were required.

I will be working with him again, and I cannot recommend his services strongly enough."

—T.M. KEHOE,  The Raven Pendant

"As a first-time novelist, I was pleased by how KLR Covers guided me through the creative process of developing the cover art for my Sci-Fi manuscript. Going from my vague description and a rough sketch of my ideas, Roderick created an outstanding work of art with a remarkably short turnaround. I could not be happier with the end product, but even more importantly, I was impressed with Roderick's professionalism and flexibility. Highly recommended."

  —JON CASPER,  Antisocial

"Just had my cover done and it was an exclusively positive experience. Great artist who makes the process convenient, respectful, professional, understanding, and accommodating. He even went ahead and made two more rough draft covers for me on top of the 5 he initially provides. I can only recommend him to others."

  —PAUL AZAR,  Blood Brothers

"Roderick absolutely knocked it out of the park. He was responsive, cordial, and helpful throughout our interactions, and he turned around the commission far faster than I had anticipated. On top of that, his finished product perfectly captured what I had envisioned. If you need a cover for your book, look no further."

—T.H. SMITH,  Till We Are No More

"Roderick created my book cover and all the illustrations for the book. I'm delighted with the work quality and efficiency. It really was such an easy process. Thanks for all your help. Highly recommend."

—KIERAN McNALLY,  Pain and the Survival Brain

"Extremely happy with Roderick’s book cover design. He was recommended by a friend, and fully justified his reputation. He created a selection of great covers that matched the book’s spirit, responded rapidly to finesse the details of the final choice, and was patient with a preoccupied client. Will be reaching out to him again and recommending his work to anyone looking for a cracking book cover or other designs."
