Today's guest is award-winning cover designer Micaela Alcaino. Micaela moved to London in 2013. She moved without a job in hand and applied for (200) design jobs before she landed her first role with Transworld Publishing. You would recognise her cover on books such as THE SECRET DIARIES OF CHARLES IGNATIOUS SANCHO by Paterson Joseph, Jennifer Saint’s ATLANTA, ELEKTRA and ARIADNE, THE DICTIONARY OF LOST WORDS by Pip Williams and the hardcover for BELOW DECK by Sophie Hardcastle. 

We talk about the importance of sharing knowledge, mentorship and persistence. She herself is wildly persistent and is encouraged by the challenges put in front of her. It’s no surprise that’s he’s won numerous awards and in 2021 was The Bookseller's Rising Star and this year, won Designer of The Year at The British Book Awards.
