Book design
Book cover design services
If you are comparing cover design suppliers, the differences that matter are rarely visual. They are what is inside the scope, how many revisions you actually get, which files arrive at the end, and who owns the artwork afterwards.
Overview
What this service covers
This page sets out how our cover service is packaged, so you can weigh it against other quotes without guessing. Every project is quoted as a fixed price against a written scope before any work begins.
Scope changes are quoted separately rather than absorbed quietly into the schedule. That keeps the deadline honest and stops a project drifting into an unbudgeted fourth round of revisions.
What we provide
Included in every project
Anything outside this list is quoted separately rather than assumed.
Single title package
One cover, full wrap, two concept rounds and one refinement round, with print and ebook files.
Series package
A cover system designed once and applied across a list, with a style sheet so later titles stay consistent.
Cover refresh
A reissue or repositioning of an existing title, keeping recognisable elements while updating the treatment.
Ebook-only package
Front cover artwork and retailer crops for titles that will not be printed.
Typesetting add-on
Interior layout quoted alongside the cover when you need the whole book handled in one place.
Rush handling
Compressed schedules where studio capacity allows, quoted transparently rather than promised and missed.
Benefits
Why clients commission this work
Fixed quotes, not hourly drift
You know the cost before the first sketch, and what would change it.
Rounds stated up front
Revision counts appear in the quote so nobody is negotiating mid-project.
One point of contact
The same person handles the brief, the feedback and the handover.
Files that work first time
Printers reject fewer files when bleed, spine and colour are set correctly at the start.
Process
From brief to final files
Each stage has a clear approval point, so nothing large gets built on an assumption.
