Custom Book Cover Design

A Cover to Inspire, Excite and Engage Your Reader

The Cover Design Process

You’ve already done the bulk of the hard work: you wrote your book! Now it’s my turn to visually bring words and ideas to life.

Step One

First we start off with a phone or Zoom call so I can get to you know you and your book. And, you can get to know me too! This call takes about 15-30 minutes and is scheduled at your convenience.

Step Two

It’s go time! I do research and begin to work on your cover design. Generally in about 2 weeks or less, you will receive anywhere from 5-7 cover concepts (or more, my record is 26!). I let the design guide me and sometimes it says more, and sometimes, it says less.

Step Three

We schedule a Zoom call to go over the designs. This is the interactive part! During the call I make changes in real time or we discuss changes I will make offline.

Step Four

We are done tweaking the cover and you have a final design. From here I work on the back cover, spine and final print-ready file.

Cover Design FAQ

Who owns the rights to the final cover?

The author owns all rights to the final design. Any individual elements such as photos, graphics, etc. are owned by the author and if requested, can be provided as individual image files.

How many revisions does the design price include?

The book cover is finished when the author is satisfied. That being said, if a concept is agreed upon and presented and then the author changes the direction, an additional fee will apply.

What are your payment terms?

Half of the design fee is due when the agreement is signed and the balance is due when the design is complete, or 90 days past the date of the initial agreement, whichever comes first.
