Book Design

It seems like everyone judges books by their covers. And once they open those covers, they judge books by their insides, too. Let me make your book look as good as it deserves. Let me make it look smashing!

Custom Cover Design from $40
Bringing together the perfect images and fonts, I will create a stylish cover for your masterpiece. First I will create 3 rough prototypes for you to review. When we find something you like, we will work together to perfect the design. You will receive the final product as a high-resolution print-ready file.

Pricing details: Base price of $40 entitles you to 3 prototype designs and up to 2 revisions sessions, resulting in a high-resolution, print-ready front and back cover document. If desired, further prototypes and revisions available at the rate of $7/hour. Revisions sessions are groups of minor changes to the chosen prototype which do not constitute a completely different design. Changes which do constitute a completely different design are considered a new project and will cost the author accordingly ($40, plus any additional costs). If the author wants a design that includes stock images requiring purchased rights, all associated costs will be the responsibility of the author. These fees are not included in the base price as I generally try to use free stock images. Payment of any further fees (relating to hourly rates) is due at the end of the project, before the final file is sent to the author.


Artistic Internal Layout from $40
Using coordinating fonts and professional-looking designs, I will interpret the themes of your book in a pleasing interior layout. First I will send 3 prototype styles for you to choose from. These will show key elements such as title pages, chapter headings, and regular pages. When we find something you like, we will work together to perfect the layout. You will receive the final product as a high-resolution print-ready file.

Pricing details: Base price of $40 entitles you to 3 prototype designs and up to 2 stylistic revisions sessions, resulting in a high-resolution, print-ready front and back cover document. If desired, further prototypes and stylistic revisions available at the rate of $7/hour. Stylistic revisions sessions are groups of minor changes to the chosen prototype which do not constitute a completely different design and do not affect the text of the manuscript (see below). Changes which do constitute a completely different design are considered a new project and will cost the author accordingly ($40, plus any additional costs). Once the author has sent the manuscript, additional charges of $0.25 per changed paragraph will apply for any subsequent manuscript revisions sent by the author. Please note: internal layout does not include editing or proofreading. The manuscript submitted will need to be previously edited to your satisfaction. If the author wants a layout that includes stock images requiring purchased rights, all associated costs will be the responsibility of the author. These fees are not included in the base price as I generally try to use free stock images. Payment of any further fees (relating to hourly rates, manuscript revisions) is due at the end of the project, before the final file is sent to the author.

Bookmark Design from $10
Need promotional bookmarks to help market your new masterpiece? Let me work with you to create something unique and eye-catching!
If I was the designer of your book's cover and you would like the same design adapted for a bookmark, the cost is just $10. For other projects including bookmark adaptations of covers I did not design, bookmarks based off book characters, and bookmarks designed to promote you as an author, please contact me to discuss pricing. If the author wants a design that includes stock images requiring purchased rights, all associated costs will be the responsibility of the author. These fees are not included in the base price as I generally try to use free stock images.

Desktop Wallpaper Design from $5
Let's take themes and characters from your book and create some beautiful promotional desktop wallpapers. Great to use as freebies, incentives for reviews, etc.
Wallpapers cost $5 per finished design. If the author wants a design that includes stock images requiring purchased rights, all associated costs will be the responsibility of the author. These fees are not included in the base price as I generally try to use free stock images.
