EBook Cover Design with Formatting

EBOOK COVER DESIGN WITH FORMATTING

Our professional eBook cover design and formatting service is perfect for indie authors who are looking for a strong, eye-catching eBook cover and a perfectly formatted interior. Whether you are a first time self-publisher, or you are an indie veteran, we look forward to working with you.

Once we have the information we need, we will create an eBook cover design draft that we believe perfectly encapsulates your book. We then take on board any feedback that you may have and hone your design until you have your perfect finished cover. If you aren’t keen on the first draft we create, then we can give you another concept and work from there until you are happy.

We will also format and work on your book’s interior, transforming your manuscript into a high-quality digital book that meets industry standards and is ready for upload.

It is important to note that we strongly recommend that you don’t set your heart on specific scenes or too many key elements or characters. It can lead to the book looking too busy, or presenting a confusing message to potential readers as to the content or tone. A good eBook cover design should be clear and enticing, and demonstrate genre without being convoluted. In short, please trust us to use our years of design experience to deliver a fantastic cover that you can be proud of – we want the best for you and your book, after all.

Sadly, we do not offer an illustration service, so if you were leaning towards character creation or scene-specific artwork for your cover, then we recommend hiring an illustrator. If you have already done this, then we will be more than happy to discuss the inclusion of any such work in your cover, but don’t offer the service ourselves.

THE NEXT STEP

Simply complete the form on the right, giving as much information as possible, and this will allow us to know whether we have enough to start with or whether we need to contact you to discuss requirements before getting back to you with our initial concept and thoughts.  When we, and you, are ready to begin the process, a deposit of 50% of the standard fee is required.  The balance of the payment, as well as any additional costs for optional extras, will be required once a design has been agreed upon and prior to the release of any artwork. If you’d rather discuss your requirements in a more informal manner prior to going ahead, please use our standard contact form.

*All images used are royalty-free and are typically sourced from DepositPhotos and Dreamstime. These are included in the cost of your cover design and this gives you the right to their use for sales of up to 500,000 units/books (physical/print books). However, if you exceed this, or are planning on using your cover design on non-book items/merchandise for sale then an extended license will need to be purchased for each image used in your design. Please speak with us if this is the case and we can facilitate this or offer advice. You are responsible for ensuring that you act within the law with regards to image licensing beyond what we have provided, and paying your deposit is an acknowledgement of that. If your cover design requires elements that cannot be obtained from our subscription-based stock libraries, such as specific character types from NeoStock, or imagery from Shutterstock, Alamy, or AdobeStock, there will be an additional fee but there will be no mark-up.

*Our handholding service allows us to take the burden of uploading and submitting your books for publication to the various platforms. We would stress that this is only required if you are genuinely uncomfortable at the thought of doing this yourself. It is a relatively simple process, but we understand that those who are not necessarily computer-literate might prefer not to do it themselves.
