Searching for a book cover designer?

A professionally crafted book cover design is a key factor in how your book will be perceived. Fair or not, it’s an inescapable truism in the book marketing business, and not just any graphic designer will do – for the best results you need a book cover designer that really knows the trade.

I’ve created hundreds of book covers, ebooks, book marketing, and promotional materials over the years for traditional publishers, print on demand, and self publishing authors. I possess the experience and expertise to create a uniquely suited book cover design for you that will capture your target market’s attention.

Here are some things to consider about your book cover design:

  • Establish credibility: Does the cover design create interest? Does it appear to be professionally crafted?
  • Incorporate the book’s theme: Does the book cover design effectively convey the authors message and style? Will it appeal to the author’s target market?
  • Designed with creativity and originality: Is the book cover design interesting? Is it tasteful?

It’s not just about art

I’ve built my business on innovative book cover design, sound marketing savvy, and great customer service. When you retain me to design your book cover, I’ll carefully listen to your goals and ideas, then together we’ll bring your project to fruition. Once your project is completed, you’ll receive a CD containing your print-ready images for your permanent records. The entire process usually only takes 1-2 weeks from start to finish.

you’ll receive:

  • Your completed book cover design or pre press files including front, back, and spine delivered on CD. Many printers prefer online uploads these days - I can take care of that for you on request.
  • Free bar code.
  • No royalties or hidden charges.
  • Up to two original book cover designs to choose from.
  • Up to two rounds of corrections.
  • Book cover artwork delivered ready-to-print as digital files.

flat fee pricing

I charge a flat fee of $500.00 (US) for custom designed trade paperback book covers and $600.00 (US) for hard cover jackets, or $700.00 (US) for both. I have access to a huge royalty free image library, and use only licensed fonts so you never have to worry about copyright infringements with my book cover design.

What I can’t deliver for these prices are custom hand drawn book cover illustrations or perform a custom photo shoot – those items require an estimate which I will happily provide you upon request.
