I just finished my first book and it will be the first in a series of seven. I need to find a cover artist that is experienced in designing contemporary romance covers. I don't have a huge budget and I know some artist that charge $300 and up for just one cover and I need seven. I know you get what you pay or, but that's just not in my budget.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for reading!

I use stock photography, but change up the images and try to mix them with nice fonts to make a nicer more proffessional looking cover. Private message me if interested. Here are some I've done in the Romance and Suspense Romance genres:

You could try looking around http://www.deviantart.com for an artist. I've found artists before by posting the project in their forum under Employment Opportunities (job offers), http://forum.deviantart.com/. Include examples of the kind of cover you'd like (check out the bestselling books on Amazon for inspiration or peruse the local book store).
Good luck!

I've gotten great covers from:

LFD Designs for Authors
CC's Designs
Phycel Designs
Littera Book Designs
Ebook Indie Covers
Erin Lark

I think Humblenations' work (Go On Write) looks really great too; I just haven't found the exact cover I need yet, but his site is well worth stalking.

Be sure to check the Yellow Pages for Authors at the top of the Writers' Cafe.
