JEANETTE WINTERSON SERIES

Creating a new series style for one of our favourite authors was no mean feat. Many avenues were explored including a more photographic approach and a purely typographic route.

Designed and illustrated in house, the final covers above were chosen to echo Jeanette’s voice. Her writing is like no one else’s: passionate, punchy, lucid and lyrical, and each cover aims to represent a tiny bit of this to the reader. The clash between organic materials/objects and something a bit sleeker helps portray the sexual nature of some of the subject matter and its surreal tones.

Out now from Vintage Books.
