How a Custom Cover Works

Four steps from first email to a finished file.

  1. 1

    Email me

    Send over your title, genre or vibe, and any references you love. A few sentences is plenty.

  2. 2

    Initial concept

    I send you an initial concept built around your brief — typography, imagery, and color already dialed in for your genre.

  3. 3

    Three rounds of tweaks

    Let me know if you want any changes to fonts, colors, or type layout — three rounds included on every custom cover.

  4. 4

    You get the files

    High-quality JPEG and PNG, or a CMYK print PDF — sized for wherever you publish.

Custom Cover FAQ

How long does a custom book cover take?

From first email to final files is usually one to two weeks, depending on how fast we move through the three revision rounds. If you have a tight launch schedule, mention it in the first email and I’ll work to fit it.

What do you need from me to get started?

Title, genre, a short description of the book, author name, series name if applicable, and a few references or covers you like. A few sentences about mood or tone is better than a rigid design brief — I’ll take it from there.

What genres do you design custom book covers for?

Fantasy, sci-fi, thriller, romance, historical, literary, paranormal, middle-grade, young readers, noir, and faith. If your genre isn’t listed, email me — I’ll tell you honestly whether I can do it justice.

Can I use my own art, photo, or AI image?

Yes, as long as you own the rights or have cleared licensing for it. I’ll build the cover around it — typography, color grading, and treatment — so it fits your genre and reads well at thumbnail size.

Do you design matching covers for a full series?

Yes. Consistent series treatment is one of the most useful things you can do for your catalog. The Jisedai: The Angel War trilogy on this page is a recent example — three books, one cohesive identity.

Do I get the commercial rights to use the cover?

Yes. When you buy a custom cover, you get a full commercial license to use the artwork on your book, in marketing, on merch, and anywhere else you need it.
