Book Cover Design Services
A book cover has one job: to be clicked at thumbnail size by the right reader. We design genre-correct covers for ebook, paperback, and hardcover from $349, with print files sized for KDP and IngramSpark.
Readers absolutely judge books by covers, and they do it in a 100-pixel Amazon thumbnail next to twenty competitors. That is why cover design starts with your genre's visual language, the cues that tell a thriller reader or a romance reader 'this is for you' in half a second. A beautiful cover in the wrong genre language is a sales problem wearing a nice outfit.
Every project starts with a look at the current bestsellers in your exact category, so the concepts we present are positioned against the shelf you will actually sit on. You get multiple concepts, revisions until the type and imagery are right, and files for every format you publish in.

Frequently asked questions
How much does book cover design cost?
Freelance marketplace covers run about $630 to $1,200 at the median, while premade covers cost $50 to $200 but are shared templates. Scriters custom covers run $349 to $599 with full rights and print-ready files included.
Do I get the source files and full rights?
Yes. Final payment transfers full commercial rights, and you receive layered source files along with the production PDFs. Licensed stock imagery is documented so your rights chain is clean.
Can you redesign my existing cover?
Yes, and it is often the highest-ROI fix for a book that is not selling. We diagnose the current cover against category bestsellers first, so you know what the redesign is correcting.
What do you need from me to start?
Title, subtitle, author name, a short synopsis, your category, and covers you admire or hate. Page count and trim size come later for the print wrap; the concepts can start same-week.
