YA Paranormal Book Cover Designers
YA paranormal covers put supernatural elements into a teenage world. Designers working in ya paranormal reach for moody palettes, illustrated or photographic portraits, celestial and botanical motifs, and graphic modern type used at scale. The cover has to promise both the supernatural and the coming-of-age, since readers come for the combination.

Common questions
Where can I find a ya paranormal book cover designer?
Right here — this page collects ya paranormal book covers from the designers listed in Cover Designer Directory, so you can judge each one by the work rather than by a sales page. Click any cover to open that designer's full portfolio and contact them directly. There's no commission and no middleman: you hire and pay the designer yourself.
How much does a ya paranormal book cover cost?
There's no standard price and this directory doesn't publish one. What moves a quote most is whether the artwork is original or assembled from licensed stock, plus the formats and licence you need. Each designer sets their own rates, at whatever level they choose, and shows or quotes them on their own site — there's no commission and nothing in between.
Are these ya paranormal covers made with AI?
Every designer confirms in writing — when they apply and on every cover they publish — that they don't use generative-AI images in their designs. We can't go further than that: designers license stock imagery from third-party libraries, and those libraries now contain AI-generated material that nobody downstream can reliably verify. So we vet the designer, and we don't claim to certify the provenance of every asset. If it matters for your book, ask the designer directly — you're talking to them, not to us.
How do I hire a ya paranormal cover designer from this page?
Click any cover to open that designer's profile, where you can browse their full portfolio, message them through the contact form, or follow the link to their own website. You hire and pay the designer directly.
Commissioning ya paranormal book covers
Decide whether the supernatural element is beautiful or threatening; the whole palette follows from that. The fastest way to brief well is to pick three or four ya paranormal covers above that feel right for your book and tell the designer exactly what you like about each — a specific note about colour, type or composition is worth more than a paragraph of adjectives.
Agree the practical terms before work starts: which files you'll receive, how many revision rounds are included, whether you need a print wrap or an audiobook crop, and what licence you have to use the artwork in advertising. Every ya paranormal book cover designer listed here sets their own rates and terms, so these are questions for them rather than for us.
Every listing links straight to the designer's own site and inbox. You commission and pay them directly — there's no commission taken and no middleman in the conversation.
