Your cover is your most important marketing tool
On Amazon, your cover is about the size of a postage stamp, next to dozens of competitors. In that moment it has one job: tell the right reader “this book is for you.” A thriller needs to look like a thriller. A business book needs to look credible. A romance needs to promise the right kind of story. Get the signals wrong and even a brilliant book is scrolled past.
Our cover designers study the bestsellers in your category before sketching a single idea, so your cover fits the genre readers know while still standing out.
Cover design for every genre
Fiction covers
Mood, color and typography tell readers what kind of story to expect. We design covers for thriller, mystery, romance, fantasy, science fiction, literary and young adult fiction, using photography, illustration or bold typographic treatments.
Non-fiction covers
Business, self-help and memoir covers need clarity and authority. The title and promise are front and center, with design that signals expertise and makes the subject obvious at a glance.
Children’s book covers
Bright, illustrated covers that appeal to kids and reassure the parents buying them, often created alongside our book illustration service so the cover matches the interior art.
What’s included

Tip for your brief: send us three to five covers from your genre that you love and one or two you don’t. It helps your designer understand your taste faster than any description.
Ebook vs. print covers
An ebook cover is a single front image sized for retailers like Kindle and Apple Books. A print cover is a full wraparound whose spine width depends on your page count and paper type, so it’s created after your interior is formatted. We handle both and make sure they match.

Pair your cover with interior formatting for a book that looks professional inside and out, then let us handle publishing and marketing.
