They say not to judge a book by its cover, but ironically, that sentiment applies to almost every area of life except for literature. The cover of a book needs to do many things: it has to grab the attention of a potential reader, introduce them to your story’s ideas or themes, and then compel them to open it up and read it! This is no small order, but with the right cover, your book can do just that!
As an independent, self-published author, I understand the necessity of stretching every dollar, which is why my rates for cover design will rival almost any other you can find. Should you decide to work with me, I will do my absolute best to distill your book’s concepts into an eye-catching visual format that’s sure to put a smile on your face! Whether you need a full cover or just a front cover, I’m looking forward to designing something for you!

* IMPORTANT NOTE *
To be able to create a full, wraparound cover, I will need the exact dimensions of your book, which means that your book MUST be complete.
If your book is incomplete, I can begin by designing the front cover, to show you what part of your full cover will look like, and then complete the other sides later.
Custom Work
The cover work I do can be entirely layout-based, which means I find and arrange the elements that best suit your book. Or, if you would prefer to have something truly custom, hand-drawn, or drawn digitally, that would be an additional fee, as it would required much more time to create.
Additional pricing may vary depending on the complexity of the requested design.
