Where do we begin?
To start, kindly provide a concise overview of your book’s content. Additionally, if you have any existing ideas or preferences for the cover design, including links to cover examples you admire, feel free to share them. Whether you have a specific vision or a general concept in mind, I can help.
Once I have gathered all the necessary information, I will create a preliminary design for your review. Rest assured, you’ll have the opportunity for unlimited revisions until we achieve the perfect cover.
How do payments work?
When I’m prepared to initiate the design process, I’ll send you a PayPal invoice, allowing you to conveniently pay with a credit or debit card, even if you don’t have a PayPal account. To get started on your cover design, a 50% deposit will be required. The remaining balance will be due upon the completion of the work.
For those on a budget, I also provide payment plans as an option.
Will my design be unique even with stock photos?
Although I incorporate stock photos into the design process, rest assured that your cover will be unlike any other. I invest considerable effort in blending, manipulating, cutting, deconstructing, and merging images, crafting a distinctive and truly one-of-a-kind cover tailored specifically to your book.
What’s the turnaround time?
The duration to conceptualize and search for suitable stock art may vary. However, under normal circumstances, the time between commencing the process and presenting the first proof of concept is typically within two business days.
What genres do you work with?
I am open to working with all book cover genres. Whether it’s romance, thriller, fantasy, non-fiction, or any other genre, I am excited to bring creativity and passion to every project.
I only need an eBook cover for now. Can I upgrade to a print cover later?
Yes! You have the option to request a paperback or hardback design for your book at a later date for an additional $99. If you initially opt for an e-book cover, I can seamlessly adapt the design to fit the paperback format when you are ready.
Do I need to have the final page count before we can work on the print cover?
Providing a page count is preferred, as accurate measurements are essential for designing a print cover that perfectly fits your specific book size. However, I can still begin working on the front cover design even without this information.
