What the service covers
A Clearer Way to Scope Book Cover Design Services
Readers often see the cover before they read the description. A professional cover should communicate genre, tone, title hierarchy, and credibility at thumbnail size while also meeting the technical specifications of the publishing platform.
What affects cost? Cover design cost depends on illustration needs, custom artwork, photography, number of concepts, number of formats, series requirements, and revision scope.

More publishing answers →Do I receive files for both eBook and print?
The project can include separate eBook and print-ready files. Print covers require final trim size, page count, paper type, and platform specifications.
Can you redesign an existing cover?
Yes. A redesign can retain recognizable brand elements while improving readability, positioning, and technical quality.
When should the print cover be finalized?
Usually after interior formatting, because the final spine width depends on page count and print specifications.
Will the cover work as an Amazon thumbnail?
Thumbnail readability is part of a strong cover brief, especially for title, author name, contrast, and genre signals.
