My Lan Khuc - Book Cover Artist And Illustrator

Hola! My name is My Lan Khuc, and I am a designer and illustrator based in the UK with a special love for book covers (which is not surprising, seeing that I grew up being an absolute bookworm). I specialise in fantasy and contemporary romance, but I am open to any interesting projects that require breathtaking illustrations.

Whenever I can, I explore different art styles or creative solutions to bring worlds to life. Not two books are the same, so I believe that my covers shouldn’t be either. However, despite my flexible style, you will find that I steer towards vibrant colours, defined silhouettes and expressive characters.

Angela Pearse Author

"One of the best decisions I ever made was contacting My Lan about redesigning my book cover. Our discussion on the new design was electric, and I deeply enjoyed each moment we worked together on the progress of the new cover. My Lan is absolutely brilliant. I am so happy to have worked with her. I LOVE my new cover and I am most excited to work again with My Lan in the future."

Olivia Fraser Author

"My Lan is brilliant. There's no other way to say it. I first started working with her after she won a competition to design the cover for my first book, and I've never looked back. When my second book was being published, there was no question that I had to work with her again, and she will continue to be the first call I make on all my projects. She is not only a phenomenal artist with creative, truly original ideas, she is so great at collaboration and making sure you get exactly what you want and what the book most needs. Whatever you're looking for I guarantee she can hit it out of the park. I've worked with other artists and designers on different projects and it just brings home what a jewel My Lan is. All I can say is HIRE HER as fast as you can!"

Ashley Griffin Author, broadway performer and writer

"My Lan is a stellar talent, both as a person and a creative powerhouse. I cannot praise her enough. My collaboration with her began as a fun ideas exchange over a few months. Her understanding of my vision and execution of it turned out better than I ever imagined! She took the artwork I had rough concepts of in my head and transformed it into a colorful spectacle. Over those months, we added social media artwork, Instagram ads, and other smaller art projects for my novel. None of them would be possible without My Lan's dedication, patience, kindness, and imagination. Any author lucky enough to partner with her is in for a real treat. A wonderful artist and an even better person."

Garrett Kosis Author

"My Lan was a pleasure to work with. The entire process was just so cool. I had an idea of what I wanted my book to look like, but I decided to see where her artistic vision took it. I am so glad I did. She knocked it out of the park! At each step, she'd give me options to choose from: color, design, font. It was so much fun, watching my cover come to life. And not only is she talented, but she's so sweet. This is my debut novel, so I had many questions. She was patient thorough it all. I can't wait to work with her on future projects. My Lan is an absolute gem!"

Harriet Ashford Author

"My Lan is an extraordinarily RARE blend of clear communication, professionalism, warmth, and artistic talent. She created a stunning interior map for my fantasy novel, and I immediately hired her for the cover design as well. Even more than her talent for both art + graphic design, she was able to interpret my scattered writer-brain into an absolute-perfect representation of my book and characters in visual art. I cannot recommend her enough--for highly sellable/marketable designs in any genre. I definitely consider My Lan to be an essential part of my publishing "team" from here on out!"
