10 questions
  • Standard turnaround is 7 – 10 business days from brief approval to final files, including two rounds of revisions. Rush delivery (3 – 5 days) is available at +30% depending on scope. Series work moves faster once the master template is locked.

  • Print-ready paperback / hardcover wrap PDF (CMYK, 0.125" bleed, exact spine width for your page count and paper stock), Amazon-compliant eBook JPEG (1600×2560), source PSD/AI, and a set of 3D mockups for marketing. Add-ons: hand-coded EPUB, audiobook square (3000×3000), A+ content banners.

  • Yes. I calculate spine width from your final page count and paper stock (white / cream / colour), apply the exact 0.125" bleed and safe-area, embed fonts, flatten to CMYK, and export using each platform's current template. Files upload without KDP or IngramSpark bouncing them back.

  • Two dedicated revision rounds are included in every package. Each round can cover typography, palette, imagery direction and layout tweaks. Additional rounds are billed at a flat rate — but honestly, we rarely need them if the brief is solid.

  • Yes — series work is my favourite. I build a locked master template (title system, wordmark, imagery grid, spine treatment) so every sequel drops into the same shelf-family. Books 2, 3, 4… are billed at a reduced rate once the master exists.

  • Send it over with the current Amazon link and sales history. A redesign is often the fastest way to unstick a stalled launch — new type, new palette, new hierarchy, tuned for the thumbnail. Before / after examples live on the home page.

  • Both, depending on genre. Fantasy, sci-fi and children's usually get commissioned illustration or heavily composited AI + hand-paint work. Business, memoir and literary tend to lean on considered stock, typography and photo-composition. Every cover is genre-researched first.

  • I convert the print master into an audiobook square that meets ACX / Audible spec (2400×2400+, RGB, correct text-size ratios). Hand-coded reflowable EPUBs with clean semantic markup are available as an add-on — no auto-converted files.

  • Send a brief from the /brief page or a short message from /contact. I'll come back within 24 hours with a fixed quote, a realistic timeline and two or three directions worth exploring — before any money moves.

  • No adult / explicit erotica covers, no hate or extremist content, no work that reuses another artist's cover. Everything else — from cosy romance to grimdark fantasy to religious devotional — is fair game.
