How we approach book cover design
Readers judge a book by its cover in about two seconds, usually at thumbnail size. We start by studying the bestsellers in your category, then design original concepts that fit the genre and still stand apart. The final cover comes as a full print wrap and an ebook file.
Every project is handled by a dedicated project manager, priced in writing before work begins, and delivered with you owning everything we produce.

Book Cover Design questions
Do I own the cover?
Yes. You receive the final files and full rights to use the cover on your book and its marketing.
Can you redesign an existing cover?
Yes. Many authors come to us for a new cover on a book that is already published, and we handle the file replacement on each retailer.
What if I already have an idea?
Share it. We will build on your idea and show you how it works at thumbnail size before finalising.
