If you are looking for someone to give you fresh, innovating designs, Barbara LeVan Fisher is the designer to hire. In all of the years she has been on our freelancer team, we continue to be delighted with the unique ways in which she has solved our cover design challenges.

Barbara LeVan Fisher is an extremely talented and versatile designer. She has a remarkable ability to work across many subjects/categories and that makes her a go-to designer for our diverse list of books at HarperOne. She always produces covers that are thoughtfully put-together, highly creative, innovative and striking. On top of that, she has a joyful spirit that makes working with her not only a productive, but also, a wonderful experience. We highly recommend her.

As Senior Editor at HarperCollins, I had the pleasure of working with Barbara on the book jacket design for several titles. I was always glad when she was hired by our Art Director for my projects, as she always produced the most thoughtful and beautiful designs. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

In my 25 years in publishing, Barb ranks among the top three designers with whom I’ve had the privilege of working. Yes, she has all the head knowledge, training, and experience a publisher wants in a designer, but she also has an “untrainable” talent for designing covers that fully and consistently hit the mark. The fact that she has an amazing attitude and work ethic only makes working with her that much more enjoyable!

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Barb on a number of book cover design projects while at HarperCollins and on a freelance basis. Her work has been a key ingredient in making bestsellers with covers that attract attention and faithfully represent the author’s work. She is a wonderful collaborator and is very skilled at translating vision into visuals. I’m always impressed by the menu of cover options she supplies during the creative process and her cheerful willingness to see a project though to the bitter end—with terrific results. Highly recommended.

Barbara is an incredible designer that I have been fortunate enough to work with many times. Her great design sense and flexibility combine to insure great projects and happy clients

Barbara is really efficient and great to work with! I thoroughly enjoy her clear directions and find that my work is always used to its best.

As an illustrator it is always nice to work with a designer that is as accomplished and talented as Barbara. She is also fun and it’s a pleasure to illustrate something for one of her many projects! I highly recommend working with her.
