About Me
Hello!! I am Merlyn Fereira and I design book covers, chapter headers. audio teasers and lovely mockups to make your books and designs stand out from the rest. I am anti-AI artist and everything I design is from non-AI sources.
In April 2025, I moved to designing book cover for Wattpad authors and after finding some clients, I expanded the same for Inkitt authors.When I'm not doing design-related work, I'm either listening to an audiobook on Audible or reading books on Wattpad, BookFunnel or NetGalley and spending time watching YouTube videos from TwoSet Violin, Dylan Is In Trouble and netflixparty. I love giving in-depth and honest reviews about what I liked or disliked about books on my bookstagram account, Pagebound and Goodreads.
I am currently setting up an email list where you can get first access for any of my services. Watch this space for more!
Portfolio
I design covers of different genres. They can be bright and cutesy to dark and menacing. I can't draw human beings yet (I'm still learning).For the sake of making this portfolio, some of the designs here are designed from free assets. When I work with clients, I always use licensed stock images and fonts.

testimonials
"For the first book I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted the cover to look like but Merlyn guided me by asking all the right questions, and then allowed a lot of follow-up for alterations. I was really satisfied with the end result - so happy that I came back for book 2!"~womanofsands, Wattpad writer
"For my second book the cover came out super quick and better than I even expected. The beautiful design of the motif I'd chosen has even inspired my description of it in my writing! I have to confess that every now and then I like to look at both covers side by side to admire them. It makes me excited to share my stories and excited to write more."~womanofsands, Wattpad writer
"Working with art-by-amf on my cover was easy and very quick, she is a very lovely person to work with. She was quick with responses and after a few changes it came out looking amazing! She had me give her a few pictures for references on what I wanted and she was spot on. Her book covers are also AI free which is a huge plus for me."~Missy Moo, Inkitt writer
"Great results, and faster than I expected. It perfectly captures the vibe of my story and is balanced, not overdone. Elegant and concise."~LadyLety, Wattpad writer
“The process was simple and easy. I liked the fact that it didn’t require face to face meeting or online calls. Everything was handled via text and Google form. The whole thing took just a few minutes and the product was amazing. I appreciated that I was given multiple design options to choose from and that the artist was so understanding towards my financial situation. I would definitely use this service again."~Mocadprol, Wattpad writer
