A cover that works on a shelf and as a thumbnail.
Readers do judge a book by its cover, usually in about two seconds on a phone screen. We design covers that look right in both places and fit your genre.
About this service
Designed for your book, not pulled from a template.
Every genre has a visual language. A thriller reader and a cookbook buyer scan for completely different signals, and a cover that gets the signals wrong quietly loses sales. So before we open a design tool we read your blurb, look at the covers sitting next to yours in your category and agree on what yours should say.
You receive three distinct concepts, not three versions of the same idea. Pick the one you like, tell us what to change, and we refine it. We also check each design at thumbnail size, because that is how most readers will see it first.
Everything the printer and the stores need
You get a front cover for ebook stores and a full wrap with spine and back cover for print, built to the exact trim size and page count of your book. We use licensed imagery and fonts only, and we tell you what is licensed for what.
