How Do You Find the Best Book Cover Designers

[aimee]

I’m about to publish my book and want a professional look, so I’m searching for book cover designers. How do you know which designers are the best fit for your genre and vision? Should I focus on portfolio style, client reviews, or pricing? Are there common mistakes authors make when choosing a designer? Also, is it worth paying extra for experienced designers, or can newer designers deliver equally strong results? I’d love to hear your advice!
