Frequently Asked Questions About Young Adult Covers

What makes a highly converting Young Adult cover?

YA readers are highly visual and heavily influenced by social media trends (like BookTok). A successful cover needs to instantly communicate the subgenre while maintaining a youthful, emotional, or rebellious energy. Look for bold, stylized typography that dominates the space, vibrant or highly contrasting color palettes, and relatable central figures—whether that’s a detailed illustration, a mysterious silhouette, or a photographic portrait that captures the protagonist’s attitude.

Should I choose an illustrated cover or a photographic one for my YA novel?

It depends entirely on your specific subgenre. Currently, bright, vector-illustrated covers are dominating the YA contemporary, rom-com, and lighthearted fiction spaces. However, if you are writing a gritty YA dystopian, a dark fantasy, or a tense thriller, photographic covers with moody lighting, magical elements, or dramatic landscapes remain the industry standard to signal a more serious or high-stakes tone.

Can the designer make the character on the cover look more like my protagonist?

While the base artwork of a premade young adult book cover is already created, many designers are willing to make minor adjustments to help the cover fit your vision. Small tweaks like altering a character’s hair color, changing an eye color, or adjusting the hue of an outfit are often possible. Simply use the ‘Product Enquiry’ form on the cover’s page before purchasing to ask the artist if these specific modifications can be made to their design.
