Book Cover Design
Your cover makes a promise about the book inside.
We’re told not to judge a book by its cover, but we totally do.
Before a reader reads a single word, your cover is already telling a story.
That's why I don't begin with a template or a trend. I begin with your manuscript.
I'll spend time with your work, consider the audience you're trying to reach, and develop a cover that feels true to the book you're actually writing.
Starting at $950
A cover with something to say
The best book covers don't simply look beautiful. They create curiosity.
Together, we'll make sure your cover matches the heart of the manuscript while still making it something your intended readers will want to pick up.
Your cover includes
Full manuscript review
Creative direction and visual concept development
Multiple initial cover concepts
Typography and title treatment
Custom imagery, photography, illustration, or art direction as appropriate
Full front, spine, and back cover design
Author and publisher information placement
Print-ready cover files
Revisions to the selected direction
The process
01 — I read.
I want to understand the book before I try to represent it visually.
02 — We explore.
I'll develop multiple visual directions, each approaching your manuscript from a different angle.
03 — We choose.
We'll identify the direction that best captures the heart of the book and speaks to its intended reader.
04 — We refine.
I'll take the chosen concept through the details—from typography and imagery to the final spine and back cover.
05 — We prepare.
You'll receive a polished, print-ready cover file ready for your publishing platform.
This is for you if...
You don't want your book to look like everyone else's.
You have a clear sense of what your book is trying to say—but aren't sure how to translate that into an image.
You want a cover that feels thoughtful and distinctive rather than simply "professional."
A note on pricing
Cover design begins at $950. Final pricing may vary depending on the complexity of the concept, imagery, illustration, or additional design needs.
