The cover of your eBook and print book is the first thing anyone notices - make it powerful
If you are looking for a professional print and eBook cover design for your book then our combined design bundle is truly the best option. Utilising our years of design experience, we offer a professional cover design service that is ideal for both experienced indie authors and those self-publishers who are taking their first steps on an exciting journey.
As soon as we receive your form and deposit, we will create your first print and ebook cover design draft based on the information you’ve provided us. We then work with any feedback you may have and hone the design until you are happy. Should you not like the first draft, then we will provide another and go from there until you have the perfect cover for your book.
It is generally recommended throughout the industry (and we 100% agree) that a strong, professional print and ebook cover design should be clear, concise, and convey the right tone and feel for book and genre. As such, it is not recommended that you steer towards a specific scene or character group, or have too many competing key elements. This can lead to a ‘busy’ or cluttered feeling and potentially confuse or put off readers. So please trust us to use our years of design experience to deliver the best cover for you and your book.
We don’t create character artwork or general illustrations. If you have hired an illustrator to do this for you, then we can happily chat about working with it in your cover creation, but sadly we don’t offer this service.
Service includes
Simply complete the form on the right, giving as much information as possible, and this will allow us to know whether we have enough to start with or whether we need to contact you to discuss requirements before getting back to you with our initial concept and thoughts. When we, and you, are ready to begin the process, a deposit of 50% of the standard fee is required. The balance of the payment, as well as any additional costs for optional extras, will be required once a design has been agreed upon and prior to the release of any artwork. If you’d rather discuss your requirements in a more informal manner prior to going ahead, please use our standard contact form.
*As standard, you will be provided covers for both KDP and IngamSpark platforms in paperback format for your print cover. If you require hardcover and/or dust jacket, you must specify this otherwise your cover will only be created in paperback format for the aforementioned platforms. Similarly, if you require that your paperback or hardback covers be produced for a platform other than KDP and Ingram, there will be an additional fee of £100 per platform, and you will be required to provide the necessary templates or provide access to your account to allow us to request templates on your behalf.
**All images used are royalty-free and are typically sourced from DepositPhotos and Dreamstime. These are included in the cost of your cover design and this gives you the right to their use for sales of up to 500,000 units/books (physical/print books). However, if you exceed this, or are planning on using your cover design on non-book items/merchandise for sale then an extended license will need to be purchased for each image used in your design. Please speak with us if this is the case and we can facilitate this or offer advice. You are responsible for ensuring that you act within the law with regards to image licensing beyond what we have provided, and paying your deposit is an acknowledgement of that. If your cover design requires elements that cannot be obtained from our subscription-based stock libraries, such as specific character types from NeoStock, or imagery from Shutterstock, Alamy, or AdobeStock, there will be an additional fee but there will be no mark-up.
