Book Cover Design
A cover has one job: make the right reader stop.
Everything else it does is secondary. Most covers fail because that order gets reversed — and because nobody checked what they look like at thumbnail size.
You keep your rights, your royalties and the final word on every decision.

What you get
Why authors choose this
Tested small first
Every concept reviewed at retail thumbnail size, because that is where the buying decision starts.
Category-literate design
Designed with an understanding of what your category signals to its readers.
Full wrap, spine calculated
Front, spine and back designed together, with spine width from the real page count and paper stock.
Files that print correctly
Correct bleed, resolution and colour profile, plus every digital size the channels require.
How it works
Five stages, in order.
Each stage finishes before the next begins, and you see the work at every point where your decision changes what happens next.
Brief
The book, the reader, the category, and the covers you admire.
Concepts
Genuinely different directions, not one idea in three colours.
Thumbnail review
Concepts judged small, with our honest commercial read on each.
Refinement
The chosen direction developed to a finished front cover.
Full wrap
Spine and back completed and all output files produced.
