Like many creative journeys, mine began with a simple love of drawing and an early fascination with books. What started as childhood sketches eventually grew into something much deeper a career built around helping authors like you transform their stories into visual experiences that truly connect with readers.

​

I'm Nada Orlić, the founder and creative director of Erelis Design. For nearly twenty years, I've specialized in book cover design and author branding, with formal training from the Faculty of Applied Arts in Belgrade, where I completed a degree in Book Design through their pre-Bologna program—equivalent to postgraduate studies. Since establishing my independent practice in 2011, I've had the privilege of working with authors worldwide, creating thousands of covers that have helped meaningful stories find their intended audience.

​

I understand that for many authors, especially those who've reached a point in life where they're ready to share their wisdom, experiences, or long-held creative dreams, the visual presentation of their work can feel overwhelming. You've poured your heart into your manuscript, now you need a cover that honors that investment and speaks to readers who will truly appreciate what you've created.

​

My approach centers on understanding not just your book, but your goals as an author. Whether you're sharing hard-earned professional insights, exploring themes that matter to your generation, or finally telling that story you've been carrying for years, I work to create covers that reflect both the sophistication of your content and the authenticity of your voice.

​

I offer comprehensive support for independent authors:

​

Custom Book Cover Design (all formats: eBook, print, audiobook)

Professional Interior Layout and Typesetting

Author Website Development (user-friendly platforms)

Complete Branding Packages for Authors

Marketing Materials and Promotional Graphics

​

Having worked in this field for decades, I've built relationships with trusted professionals editors, developers, marketing specialists who understand the unique needs of mature authors entering today's publishing landscape. When your project requires additional expertise, I can connect you with experienced partners who share my commitment to quality and professionalism.

​

Every collaboration begins with a thorough conversation about your book, your readers, and your publishing goals. I believe in clear communication, realistic timelines, and delivering work that exceeds expectations values that come from years of building lasting relationships with authors who often become long-term collaborators.

​

When I step away from design projects, I return to my roots with pen and ink drawings, spend time with my camera capturing nature and birds, or simply watch the meditative world of my aquarium. My chinchilla studio companion has perfected the art of reminding me when it's time for a proper break.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your manuscript and explore how professional design can best serve your publishing goals.
