YOUR PROJECT, DEFINED

What’s included.

01

Audience and genre brief

Define genre, audience, emotional tone, and the book’s strongest visual cues.

02

Cover concepts and revisions

Compare directions through hierarchy, typography, imagery, and thumbnail legibility.

03

Agreed digital and print files

Adapt approved artwork to the agreed editions and final production specifications.

IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?

Built around
your starting point.

For authors preparing an ebook cover or a complete print cover package.

A cover communicates genre and tone at a glance. We use the brief to explore hierarchy, type, and imagery, then test whether the direction remains legible at thumbnail size.

Talk through your brief ↗
A USEFUL FIRST CONVERSATION

Bring your questions.
And a little context.

For authors with a stable manuscript, a clear visual idea, or a book that needs its first design brief. Illustrated interiors may need earlier planning.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Your questions, answered.

Can you design a full print wrap?

Yes, when trim size, page count, paper type, and printer specifications are known. Spine dimensions depend on those details.

What should I send for a quote?

For book cover design, share your goals, any existing material, your intended audience, and the formats you need. Mention any deadlines so feasibility can be discussed.

What will I receive from book cover design?

The proposed scope covers audience and genre brief, cover concepts and revisions, agreed digital and print files. Your written agreement confirms the file formats, handoff requirements and any exclusions before work starts.

How are revisions and timelines agreed?

We review the material and scope first, then agree on milestones and feedback rounds in the proposal. Send consolidated comments at each review stage; additional work or a changed brief is quoted separately.

Can I combine this with another service?

Yes. Connected stages can be discussed together, with a clear boundary between each deliverable. Explore the related services below or describe the full project in your inquiry.
