Cover to Cover

Your book is an experience; it should be treated as such.

Your cover and interior shouldn't feel like two separate design projects.

When I'm designing your book from cover to cover, I get to know the manuscript first—and then implement a design from first page to last.

The typography, imagery, pacing, chapter openings, and small details can work together to make the book feel like one cohesive object.

Starting at $2,200

Your manuscript is the creative brief.

I'll read your work, consider its intended audience, and develop a visual direction that begins with the cover and continues through the interior.

This is the full book—not just a cover and a stack of typeset pages.

Your project includes

  • Full manuscript review

  • Creative direction for the book as a whole

  • Multiple cover concepts

  • Complete front, spine, and back cover design

  • Custom interior design

  • Two initial interior design directions

  • Typography and font selection

  • Trim size and page architecture

  • Chapter and section design

  • Typesetting and interior layout

  • Treatment of recurring visual elements

  • Revisions to the selected directions

  • Print-ready cover and interior files

  • Physical-proof review

The process

01 — Read the book.
Before we design anything, I'll spend time with your manuscript. I want to understand its voice, structure, audience, and emotional world.

02 — Find the visual language.
We'll explore the visual possibilities for your book and establish a direction that feels right for the work.

03 — Design the cover.
The cover becomes the first expression of that visual language—the invitation into the book.

04 — Carry it inside.
I'll develop the interior around the same creative direction, adapting it to the rhythm and structure of your manuscript.

05 — Refine the whole.
We'll make thoughtful revisions until the pieces feel like they belong together.

06 — Make it real.
I'll prepare your final files for print and review a physical proof so we can catch the details that only become visible once the book is in your hands.

This is for you if…

You want someone to think about the entire visual experience of your book—not just individual pieces.

You care about the details.

You want your book to feel cohesive, distinctive, and deeply connected to the work itself.

And you'd rather have one creative partner who understands the manuscript from beginning to end.
