Trusted and used by these fine companies.
Your book cover questions answered.
Providing custom book cover artistry and a whole lot more.
How do you go about designing so many gorgeous covers?
After carefully considering genre, time period, your synopsis, and any style request, extensive research begins. It takes the expert blending of resources, artistry, fonts, and colors to create an overall “feeling.” The goal is a stunning cover your readers would stop to check out on any Barnes & Noble display table.
D-I-Y single-image covers or hiring services that pay a corral of designers bare bones or use cover contests will generate amateur covers that can be spotted a mile away. Your readers won’t be fooled.
I know you're the Book Cover Whisperer but is my new book cover happy dance guaranteed?
Yes! you receive unlimited changes until you’re 100% satisfied or we’ll refund your money. Terms and Conditions.
Once we review the overall design concept whispered just for you based on your book brief, you provide me with feedback. Sometimes images need to be changed. i.e. A client requested snow in the foreground to lend a colder feel to the overall tone of the cover. This meant Russia’s Red Square had to go from a summer to winter requiring a different photo. We may change fonts or color tonality. I want you so excited about your new cover, you’re doing the happy dance and 100% satisfied. After the design concept is approved, you receive unlimited layout, text, and page count changes as the book goes into final production.
Do I need to credit your cover design inside my book?
Yes, it would be appreciated! Like this: Book Cover Design by The Book Cover Whisperer: ProfessionalBookCoverDesign.com
May I provide art and photography for you to use?
Why do you offer a sliding scale on your pricing?
Prolific low-quality covers, marketing materials, and websites are a stumbling block impeding independent author and small publisher success in today’s competitive marketplace. Research will show that pricing for the design quality provided by The Book Cover Whisperer is well below industry average. We do this so that everyone can afford beautiful custom design work. Larger publishers tend to have more specific needs, thereby requiring a greater time commitment. We do offer larger publishers quantity discounts as a thank you for your continued business.
