COVER DESIGNS FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • How does the service work and where do I start?
    Start by deciding what kind of cover you need: custom or pre-made. Then fill out the form and submit it. We will respond to your request within 24 hours. For the custom cover design, we will send you a detailed survey form, so you can provide us with all the information we need to know to design the book cover for you. With this email, we will also send you a link to PayPal to pay a 50% deposit.
  • What is the difference between Pre-made and a Custom Book Cover?
    A custom book cover design is done in accordance with the information and details you provide. It is tailored to the your storyline and your vision of your novel. A pre-made cover is a book cover design that is done in a style appropriate for a selected genre, but it is generic.
  • How do you design the covers?
    To design our custom and pre-made covers, we are utilizing photo manipulation techniques, using the stock photography.
  • What is your revision process?
    Usually, the first draft is provided in a black-and-white format. The purpose of the first draft is to ensure that all the elements are included in the design, and you like the general look and feel of the cover. I call the first draft a “conversation starter”. Please be as clear and detailed in your feedback as possible. You need to review it carefully and let me know if you want any changes to be made. It takes time to complete all the requested revisions, so it could be a day or two before you see the next draft. After I am done with all the requested changes, I will send you a color version of the design. In total, you get three or four rounds of revisions, depending on the package you chose.
  • How do I pay for the cover design?
    All payments, the initial deposit and the final payment, are done via PayPal.
