The cover of your book is its first impression, your positioning, and your promise to the reader—all in one image. Over 57% of people say they buy books based solely on the cover, so your book needs to have a professional, genre-specific, arresting image.
Our in-house book cover artist creates designs that ensure your book looks professional, credible, engaging, and within the scope of its genre.
Our custom book cover design is typically $900–$1,250, depending on the complexity of the design.
A quote will be provided following the initial consultation.
Fiction (literary, commercial, and many sub-genres)
Business and personal development
Nonfiction, including memoir and journalistic nonfiction
The book cover design process is collaborative, clear, and built to get you to a final cover you’re proud to publish.
We’ll start with a consultation to understand:
Your book’s genre, themes, and tone
Comparable titles and market positioning
Any existing brand elements (if applicable)
The scope of work and timeline
You’ll receive three distinct cover concepts to choose from—each designed to fit your genre and communicate the right promise to readers. You’re also welcome to share any design specifications or inspiration and specs you’ve found in other books.
Once you select a direction, your designer will refine it: polishing typography, imagery, and its overall impact and relevance to your project until it’s ready to publish.
Your final deliverables include:
Front cover design
Spine and back cover added
Files prepared for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark (Print-on-Demand also available upon request for no additional charge)
