Book Cover Design
I design book covers that earn a second look on a crowded shelf or a thumbnail-sized retail listing — including the cover for a New York Times Best-Seller, No Angel.
From genre fiction to memoir and nonfiction, the goal is the same: a cover that reads instantly at thumbnail size and holds up as a full wraparound print piece.
What's Included:
Full-wrap print cover design (front, spine and back) sized to your exact trim size and page count, a matching ebook cover sized for Amazon, Apple Books and other digital storefronts, and typography built to stay legible from a thumbnail on up.
The Process:
We start with your manuscript, genre and comparable titles to establish a visual direction, then develop cover concepts before finalizing full print and ebook files. Back-cover copy, author bio placement and barcode/ISBN space are built in from the start, not squeezed in at the end.
Typical Timeline: Most book cover projects run one to three weeks from concept to print-ready files, depending on revisions and print-on-demand or publisher specifications.
FAQ:
Do you design for self-published authors, or only traditional publishing?
Both. Self-published authors get the same full-wrap print cover, ebook thumbnail and interior formatting considerations that a publishing house would provide; traditionally published authors typically use this for series branding, foreign editions or promotional artwork alongside their publisher's own cover.
What file formats and sizes do I receive?
Print-ready PDF with a full wraparound cover (front, spine and back) sized to your exact trim size and page count, plus a separate ebook-ready JPG or PNG sized for Amazon, Apple Books and other digital storefronts.
