This is a hands-on, one-to-one collaboration that takes you from "I have a manuscript" to "Is this really my book?"
Designed from the inside out
NEXT
We print your cover and hold it before anything is final, because a book lives in hands, bags, and bedside tables. Then you get your print-ready files, your ebook files, and help setting everything up with your printer of choice, so publishing day feels like a celebration.

I love how playful you were with that… so, so good. I couldn't do that myself.
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT WORKING WITH ME
FAQS
The questions you might be wondering...
How long does the design take?
At least a month from the day we start to receiving your print-ready cover files.
You'll get a real timeline once I've read your manuscript.
If you have a launch date in mind, tell me early, and we'll plan backwards from it.
What's the investment?
[Tell me about your book →]
The Book Cover Path starts at $3,000.
Your final number depends on your book's length and needs, and you'll have it in writing before anything begins.
You can pay in full, or split it: 50% to start and 50% when your final files arrive.
What's included?
Manuscript reading for tone and positioning, a moodboard and creative direction, 2 cover concepts, 2 rounds of revisions, custom illustration or photo sourcing, and print-ready cover files.
If you'd like more, extra rounds are available and quoted before we start, so your total always stays clear.
Do you help with KDP? Or other print services?
Your cover files are prepared to the print specs decided before the project starts, ready for KDP or your printer.
If you'd like help with the upload itself, KDP support is available as an add-on.
What do I need to have ready, and is it too early if I'm still editing?
Still editing? Often that's the perfect time, since your cover can take shape while you finish.
For the spine, I'll also need your final page count and trim size from who is creating your interior typesetting.
A finished or nearly finished manuscript and a sense of how you'd like your reader to feel.

Can I start with just one part of the book?
Yes, and you can add the interior later with the Book Layout Path.
If you already know you'd like both, the Published Book Path brings the cover, the layout, and KDP support together on one timeline.
