I received the manuscript for Jen Silverman’s debut novel on March 19, 2020. A point in time when I had convinced myself my brain was broken.

This was one of the first times in my career that I had the opportunity to design for an author a second time. Short story collections are usually my favorite titles to work on and Jen’s collection, The Island Dwellers, was no exception. We immediately clicked. One round of designs. A book cover miracle.
