What’s included in the cover design and setup for print and ebooks?

  • Cover Layout is done from hi-resolution, client provided images and text. This is the front, back cover, barcode, correct sizing for spine, with "bleed" (according to printer's specs). Ebook covers are completed from the print book cover. Cover Image: If the client does not have an image, we can purchase a cover image and the cost is added to the final bill. Additional cover work is per hour (see additional services below).

  • Cover Layout is 3 samples, and up to 2 revisions, if necessary. If more than 5 designs are requested there is an additional fee per hour.

  • Barcode created from ISBN for back cover

*Additional costs or other services

Additional costs rarely arise but, once in awhile there is something else you need from our graphic designers after receiving and agreeing with the quote; such as editing or proofing or starting with a revised print book size, or starting over with a resubmitted manuscript. We deliver a design agreement listing the services you request, along with the quote, at the start of the project. Click CONTACT to call with any questions. We are happy to explain.
