2025 has been a remarkable year for book design, and the covers that graced our shelves didn’t just catch the eye, they told a story before the first page was even turned.
At Tellwell, our talented design team has poured creativity, passion, and careful attention to every detail, crafting covers that are as striking as the stories inside. From bold concepts to subtle nuances, these covers have captured imagination, sparked curiosity, and reminded us of the power of thoughtful design.
We’re excited to showcase our favorite book covers of the year. Each one a testament to creativity, artistry, and the magic of a perfectly designed cover.
The Chasm Between Us by Campbell Anderson
Sam Cardiff has faced loss before—his grandfather, his ex-girlfriend—but life seems to be settling back on track as he pursues med school. That balance shatters when his cat becomes the victim of a hit-and-run, sending him into a numbing spiral of grief and alcohol.
Enter Gracie Goldstone, a down-to-earth surfer whose optimism sparks a connection with Sam. But as their bond deepens, Sam uncovers that Gracie’s past is far from perfect—and confronts truths about himself that push him to the edge of faith. To heal, he must learn what it truly means to love and be loved.
Set in Melbourne, Campbell Anderson’s debut novel explores grief, mental health, faith, family, relationships, and the subtle touch of the supernatural.

ENSŌ, A Tree Still Grows by Anette Lan
In Enso, Canadian-Japanese author Anette Lan explores the quiet truths we often overlook in the rush of achievement. Inspired by the image of her grandfather painting the enso circle, she reflects on the tension between constant output and the need for stillness. Lan invites readers to reconnect with the human side of themselves—the part that moves with flow, senses the rhythms of life, and nurtures creativity.
Through her “Enso Moments,” she guides us across the four natural seasons of inner growth: rooting, rising, releasing, and renewal. This grounded and spacious guide helps you reclaim presence, lead with calm, and trust the quieter, truer parts of yourself. Enso is not about doing more—it’s about pausing, listening, and finding the courage to embrace who you are beneath the titles and expectations.
