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?
Lots of experience! Most authors (and my regular publishers) provide me with the blurb and let me run with my ideas as my design and marketing experience exceed anything they might suggest. That said, your art and protography is most welcome. Please ensure it’s production ready.
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?
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?
May I provide art and photography for you to use?
What are any additional expenses I need to know about?
Custom vector file design/conversion
Book title consulting
Author bio & back blurb copywriting
Logo design for branding
Is it really that easy? What else do I need to do?
Please click Get Started and fill out the confidential, no-obligation Book Cover Brief.
I’ll be in touch to say hello and introduce myself.
Provide as many specifics as you can, like book cover dimensions, printing requirements and the information that needs to go on the front and back covers of your book. For the front cover this usually includes: title, author’s name, subtitle, tagline, imagery and a quote. For the back cover you may need an ISBN number, blurb, author’s biography and a quote.
Send any artwork to whisperer(at)professionalbookcoverdesign.com.
I form long-term relationships with most of my clients as they come back for additional services and to share exciting book news!
