About | JT LINDROOS

I’m a Finnish-American designer, editor and writer, married to Kathleen, and after 20 years in Southern Indiana, we are now located in Souther Finland. I’m affordable, approachable, and I enjoy my work.

Book Cover Pricing:

eBook covers range from $150 to $600
complex custom covers as discussed
print edition wrap additional $100

Everything is negotiable. I will not exceed set price without approval.

A lot of the content here is book covers, but don’t let that stop you. I design posters, advertising, brochures, flyers, packaging, space ships, logos, conceptual art, and likely whatever else you can think of. Including hot sauce labels. Don’t ask.

Email me and we can discuss details.

History:

I’ve designed hundreds of book jackets for independent book publishers. My clients include Down & Out Books (over 120 covers and counting), BeTimes Books, Into Kustannus, Myllylahti, Viz Media, Four Walls Eight Windows, Prime Books, Blasted Heath, Crippen & Landru, Night Shade Books, Ministry of Whimsy, and many others.

I’ve successfully run an independent publishing house, Point Blank Press, and have published, edited, and designed work for Edgar Award winners (crime/mystery genre), World Fantasy Award winners (Fantasy) and Emmy-Award nominees (television).

I’ve also designed recognition displays, awards and lobby presentations for Fortune 500 and other high profile companies like Lockheed-Martin, BET, Ernst & Young, AAA, NASCAR and many others.

My work has been featured in newspapers and magazines across the globe. My film work has been shown at Irving Plaza in New York and various locations around the world. My book design work has been shortlisted for Best of the Year Awards.

Personally, I’m happily married to Kathleen Martin, and we live, after 20 years in Southern Indiana, now in Hämeenlinna in Southern Finland. I’m Finnish-American (joint citizenship), and when I have any free time left, I enjoy travel, culture, music and movies. I occasionally conduct interviews and write music and book reviews. My music reviews are available on Billboard.com, All-Music Guide and many other outlets. My book reviews appear irregularly on Bookgasm. I also write regularly about all the above in Finnish for Kulttuuritoimitus.
