Frequently Asked Questions
How can I order a book cover design, and how does it work?
Send me an e-mail to book a spot in my timetable! After the booking is confirmed, I will start gathering information about your book–characters, setting, tone, magical powers and symbols, themes and colors, and if there are existing book covers or artworks that you’d like me to get inspiration from. I usually create two-three samples, and then we can start revising according to your directions.
What is the turnaround time for getting my cover done?
The first samples will be completed approximately 4-6 days after the booking date. The time will then depend on the revisions.
How many revisions can I ask for?
I do not limit the number of revisions. I want to make sure that you are satisfied with your cover.
Can I supply an image for the cover?
Yes, as long as the images are licensed.
Is it possible to change the text or artwork in the cover even after completion of the project?
Yes, but additional costs may apply.
What information do you need for the print cover?
I will need the trim size, final page count and paper type (white or cream), and the back blurb. You can also put author bio and photo, website, social media links, etc. For Ingram Spark print covers, I will need the ISBN.
What if I don't have the final page count for my print cover yet?
I can design the print cover and we’ll update the spine width once the final page count is ready.
What genres do you work with?
I specialize in Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Paranormal but I am open to working with all genres. Click here to view my portfolio.
What if I don't like the samples that you sent me and I want to cancel the project?
If none of the samples I provide suit your liking, you can cancel the project free of charge. However, if you decide to cancel mid-project (with revisions already made and stock photos already bought), the down payment you sent will not be refunded.
Does your cover design package include stock photos?
Yes, the package includes stock photos from Shutterstock and/or Depositphotos, under Standard License. A Standard License covers you for 500,000 eBooks, paperbacks and audiobooks. To know more, click here: https://www.shutterstock.com/license-comparison
Can I get the PSD file of my book cover?
If this is for promotional purposes, I can provide the PSD file, but with the artwork flattened and only the text layers are editable.
Will you give a discount for series design?
Yes, there will be a special discount for an order of a trilogy or full series. The first book cover will be charged the normal rate, but the following designs will be discounted 30USD less.
Do I need to pay a down payment to book your services?
Yes, I will ask for a 50% down payment before I start working on your cover. A Terms and Agreement file is also available upon request.
How does payment work?
I will send an invoice via Paypal, half the cost before the beginning of the project and half after its completion.
