Service №1 · Book Cover Design

Covers that make readers stop scrolling.

Your book deserves more than a stock photo and a Photoshop filter. I design original, illustrated covers — front, back and spine — that look beautiful in print, pop on Amazon thumbnails, and help your story find its readers.

A few recent covers.

A look at some of the stories I've helped dress. Each one started with a chat, a synopsis, and a couple of moodboards.

What's in the box?

Everything a self-published or traditional author needs to ship a beautiful book — no Photoshop expertise required on your end.

If you need something extra (audiobook art, hardback dust jacket, endpapers), we'll add it to the brief.

Cover questions.

Do you work with traditional publishers as well as indie authors? +

Yes. I've worked with small presses, imprints and dozens of self-published authors. The process is the same; I just invoice whoever's paying.

What if I already have a cover and want to refresh it? +

Happy to. Redesigns start at $120 depending on how much we're rebuilding. Send me the current cover and what's bothering you about it.

Do you offer rush turnaround? +

Sometimes — depends on my queue. Rush surcharge is 25% and gets you delivery within 7 days. Ask me.

What file formats will I get? +

Print: 300dpi PDF with bleed + TIFF. Digital: JPEG and PNG at multiple ebook sizes. Source PSD available for +$50 if you want to tinker later.

Can I use the cover on merch? +

Absolutely. You get full commercial rights to the final art. Put it on t-shirts, posters, tote bags, mugs — go wild.
