CHARLOTTE, NC – The Good Book Company is pleased to announce that two books, Peace over Perfection, designer Drew McCall, and C is For Christian, illustrated by Emma Skerratt, have won 2024 ECPA Top Shelf Book Cover Awards.
Carl Laferton, Executive Vice President for Publishing, says, “We are delighted that the ECPA has recognized the gifts of these designers. It’s a joy to have such a talented young designer as Drew as part of our team here at TGBC and to partner with inspirational illustrators like Emma. They have both used their skillful artistic expression to make the content of these books come to life.”
The Top Shelf Book Cover Awards celebrate the year’s best book designs in Christian publishing. The judge awarded C is for Christian’s Emma Skerratt in the genre of children’s book design and said, “The nod to a classic fairy-tale book design works really well here. This concept makes it feel like an instant children’s classic. The illustrations are detailed and delicate.”
In the category of nonfiction, Peace over Perfection’s Drew McCall received the following compliment from the judge: “Everything delivers here—the abstract visual mirrors the title of imperfection, while the touches of lettering give this a sense of personal.”
Top designers in the publishing industry judge book covers for their merits in appropriateness for the market, level of conceptual thinking, and quality of execution according to contemporary design standards and aesthetics. The Top Shelf Awards focus solely on these artistic and technical merits.
