Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about book cover design

How long does the design process take?
Most cover designs are completed within 7-10 business days from project start. You'll receive initial concepts within 3-4 days, and final files are typically delivered within a week after you approve a concept. Rush services are available for an additional fee if you need your cover faster.
What if I don't like any of the initial concepts?
That's rare, but it can happen! If none of the initial concepts resonate with you, we'll discuss what's not working and create a fresh round of concepts at no additional charge. We're committed to finding a design you love. You can also request elements from multiple concepts to be combined into one final design.
Do I own the cover design after I pay for it?
Yes! Once you pay for your cover design, you own all rights to use it for your book. You'll receive all source files and can use the design across all formats and editions of your book. The only restriction is that you cannot resell the cover design itself to other authors.
What information do you need from me to start?
We'll send you a creative brief that asks about your book's genre, target audience, tone, key themes, and a brief synopsis. We also ask for comp titles (similar books with covers you like), any specific visual ideas you have, and what you definitely don't want on your cover. The more detail you provide, the better we can nail the design!
Can you design a cover before my book is finished?
Absolutely! Many authors get their covers designed while still writing to use for marketing, pre-orders, or motivation. As long as you have a solid title, genre, and general concept for your book, we can create an effective cover. You can always make minor text adjustments later if your title or subtitle changes.
What trim sizes do you provide for print covers?
We provide files for all standard trade paperback sizes including 5x8", 5.5x8.5", 6x9", 5.25x8", and 8x10" (for illustrated books). We also accommodate custom sizes if you have specific requirements. Each print file is formatted with proper bleed, spine width calculation based on your page count, and safety margins for trim.
Are stock photos and fonts included in the price?
Yes! All our packages include licensed stock photography and commercial font licensing. You don't need to worry about any additional fees for images or typography. Everything is included in your package price, and all licenses allow you to use the cover commercially for your book sales.
Can I use the cover for both ebook and print?
Yes! The Complete Package includes files optimized for both ebook retailers and print-on-demand services. The ebook version is the front cover only in ebook-appropriate dimensions, while the print version includes the full wrap with spine and back cover. Both are included in that package.
What if I need changes after the cover is finalized?
Minor text changes (like correcting a typo or adjusting the subtitle) within 30 days of final delivery are free. More substantial design changes after final approval would be quoted separately. We want you to be completely happy with your cover, so we're flexible with reasonable adjustments.
Do you offer discounts for multiple books?
Yes! Our Series Branding package offers significant savings if you need covers for multiple books. You'll get cohesive designs across your series at a discounted per-book rate. Even if you don't need all the covers at once, we can create the first one with series branding in mind and discount future books when you're ready.
