The Design Process
Tell me about your book design or trailer needs. The design process will begin once you read and agree to my Terms and Conditions and pay a deposit of half the total cost of the project.
I’ll ask you to share detailed information about your book as well as your vision for the cover, or the book trailer. Working together, I’ll use this information and your ideas to create a custom cover design, or trailer for your book.
When the first draft of your book cover is complete, or the first edit of the trailer, I’ll e-mail you a proof and work with you through up to three rounds of revisions.
Frequently
asked
questions
What’s the turnaround time for cover design?
Once I’ve scheduled your cover design, I’ll give you a delivery date. I’ll send you a first draft on that date and then work with you up to three additional rounds of revisions to fine-tune your cover. The time between the first draft and the final cover depends on the depth of revisions and usually takes one to two weeks.
I missed some typos in my book?
So long as you catch the typos and submit them during one of the three revision sessions, I can fix them for you. I DO NOT proofread or copyedit your work. While I edit my own work, I’m not an editor per se, I’m a designer.
How does the cover design process work?
First, I’ll ask for a detailed synopsis, your ideas, important themes and symbols, and example of covers you like or that convey the tone you’re looking for. Some authors have specific ideas for their covers, while some give me general thoughts on the design, and others just want to see what I come up with. Once I have all the information we need, I’ll develop a first draft and work with you up to two additional rounds of revisions.
What should I put on the back of my print book?
Typically, the back cover is used for blurb(s), an author bio, an author photo, review quotes, your author website, social media links, your publishing name/logo, category, and price. The choice is yours.
What genres do you work with?
I’m open to working with all genres. Many of the books in my portfolio are poetry books.
How do I contact you?
Just visit my Let’s Talk About You page to get in touch. Please note that I’m located on the East Coast of the US, so I’m on Eastern Standard Time.
How does payment work?
I’ll bill via PayPal (but you can pay with a credit or debit card even if you don’t have a PayPal account). I’ll send you an initial invoice for half the cost of your project before beginning your design. Once the final revision is approved, I’ll send you the second invoice.
