"Don't judge a book by its cover."
A line everyone's heard.
And nobody heeds.
We're a visual people in a visual culture, and what's the first thing you see when you pick a book off the shelf (or scroll through on the web)? The cover! You've put in the time, sweat, and tears crafting that next great novel, so why would you do it such a disservice by going with an average, ordinary, dime-store cover art? You want people to take your book seriously, right? Then you need a serious cover that displays just how professional you - and your words - are. There's no better marketing strategy, no better sales pitch, no greater leg up you can give yourself than by getting the right cover for your book. And guess what, dear author? We can help.
FEATURED DESIGNS
We're not pulling your leg when we say we're doing the best illustrations on the market. Go ahead, let our work speak for itself.
ECONOMY BOOK DESIGN
Our Economy book cover package is the most cost effective way to get a quality cover tailored for your novel by leaving the details up to us. Economy book designs generally take a week or two to complete, and cost $299.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Client contacts us with scope of the project.
2. We confirm our ability to take on the project.
3. Client agrees and pays the Economy package up front.
4. We get to work, and using the information provided, complete the entire book cover and send over a low resolution version once complete.
5. If the client is satisfied, we send all high resolution files needed. If the client is not satisfied, we will make slight alterations to existing cover or completely redo the cover. No more changes are offered after this with our Economy package.
In our sample, client provided information about their fantasy story featuring an assassin, which we used as the main feature for the cover.
Please note that with the Economy package, the client is leaning entirely on our expertise. Changes can be made to the final product at additional cost to the client. If you desire more input and various rounds of feedback and changes, you may wish to select our Custom Book Design.

CUSTOM BOOK DESIGN
Our Custom book cover package is for the author who has something specific in mind and wants to work with a professional to bring this idea to life. Custom book design packages usually take a few weeks to complete, and start at $599 (though prices can increase depending on the difficulty).
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1: Agreement
Client contacts us with details of project. Specifics and options are discussed, cost estimate and scope of work is agreed. Half of total estimate is paid before we move on to step two.
We gather pertinent information about the book, the concept, genre, theme, etc. Half of the estimate is paid up front.
Step 2: Concept and initial proofs
After discussion with client, we provide three varying proofs of concept. If client wants to change concept, we'll provide another concept art at no additional cost.
In our sample, client expressed his desire for a creepy winter woodland scene. We provided three proofs for client with varying imagery and theme. Client selected one to move forward with.
Step 3: Imagery detail work (if any)
If client desires additional detail work (whether discussed up front or added later in the process for an additional cost), we add them in this phase of the work. If not, we move on to step 4.
Per our original scope, client requested a silhouette of a man standing on the path and glowing eyes in the background. We altered the photo to fit the 'creepy' theme the client desired. Client approved photo, though clarified detail on silhouette by changing attire to hoodie and sweats.
Step 4: Lettering
We design three proofs with TITLE and AUTHOR name, taking into account specifics for lettering by client. Client selects proof of choice, provides feedback for additional changes, if any.
Step 5: Final approval
If everything has been done to client's approval, per scope of original work, client pay's remaining half of balance, and we send over all necessary high resolution images for specified dimensions.
