Author Questions
Book Cover Design FAQ
Why not just use a template cover?
Template-based covers often look generic and fail to compete in crowded categories. A custom cover lets the genre cues, typography, and composition work specifically for your title and reader expectations.
Do I get files for both print and Kindle?
Yes. The standard cover service includes the full print wrap and a separate front cover export for Kindle or other digital platforms.
What if I do not know my final page count yet?
That is common. The page count affects spine width, so the final print wrap is completed once the formatted interior and final page count are confirmed.
