As a new hybrid author, publishing her debut novel. It has been no easy task figuring out what to do or even where to start. Till I got to work with Mariska, she is easy to work with and incredibly talented. Working with her took alot of stress of my shoulders. She is absolutely the sweetest and knows exactly what she is doing. Whether its formatting, interior art, or even the book cover itself Mariska has got it covered! She will do what ever it takes to make sure your author dreams come true! 

– H. R. Whipple, author of The Villegents Series

Mariska was a delight to work with, and really took the time to understand my book to make the perfect cover. She was extremely communicative and so knowledgeable and helpful that it made the whole process very easy and understandable. I would absolutely recommend!

– J Greene, author of Warm-Blooded

Mariska has been an absolute dream to work with. For both the cover and the interior formatting and design, she gave me three different options that were all so incredible that it was hard to choose only one! In the end, she was even able to take a bit of each and deliver the perfect mix of all. Her attention to detail and keen eye even caught a few missed things in the overall manuscript.

She’s also been an amazing help in the whole publishing process, answering questions about the different platforms I chose to put my book on.

I can’t wait to work with her on my next projects, as I have an unfaltering trust in her work and I know she’ll make all my future books shine.

If you still have doubts, I can assure you she’s worth every penny!

Mariska is an expert at transforming your overall idea into a beautiful image and will patiently keep polishing up the design until your cover or interior is perfectly to your liking.

So, this is it! The cover was designed by Mariska Maas from Rubre Art, and it went very smoothly. I was allowed by the publisher to contact her myself, after which Mariska asked me to tell her more about my characters. Based on that information she made 3 sketches for the front cover of my book, of which this one both me and my publisher loved. The title pops from the page and the characters are also very recognisable. The romance has been subtly added, yet they aren’t squished together like normally is done with romantic covers. That wouldn’t have been practical considering the nature of the story.

I am very pleased with the cover, and I hope you guys are as well!

I’m very proud and happy about the fact that Mariska made the illustrations for my first children’s book: ‘Het geheim van het oude strandhuis’.

She took great care of both the smaller and larger illustrations. They fit perfectly with the story, and truly make the tale come to life.

The collaboration was speedy, pleasant, and great. It was also very nice how I could make my wishes known, and how she would turn them into something absolutely stunning

Mariska works very quick, and she is very clear about the working process in itself. And most important of all. She works enthusiastically on every piece.

I can only wish that she would illustrate more of my books!
