Cover Design

It’s time to design your cover!

To make things easy, we’ve created a simple 3-step process to find out what types of designs you like. Your input will help us get closer to the cover you want in the very first round of concepts.

We will iterate our way through the cover design process together. Once we have your initial input, our design team will develop three initial concepts. These are often rough and are designed to help us refine the direction for your cover. You may love one, or hate all three…that’s OK. At each stage we need to know what you like, and what you don’t like about each cover.

You may like the typeface (font) on one cover, but not the colors. And you may like the layout on another, and the colors on a third. We need to know all of those details as you provide feedback through the process. That will help us create a great “bookstore quality cover” for you that you love.
