We offer a full range of book design services, including cover design (front, spine, and back), interior book formatting/typesetting for print (paperback/hardcover), and eBook formatting for all major platforms (Kindle, EPUB).

The cost varies depending on the complexity of the project (e.g., simple text novel vs. complex non-fiction with images/charts) and the specific services you require. We offer tiered packages and custom quotes. Please visit our “Get a Free Quote” page or contact us with your book details for an accurate estimate.

Timeline depends on the scope of work and our current schedule. Typically, a single cover design takes 2-3 weeks from concept to final approval and interior formatting project usually takes 4-6 days. We’ll provide a more precise timeline when we discuss your specific book.

* Your manuscript (final and edited). * Your book trim size (e.g., 6×9 inches). * Your target audience and genre. * Any design inspiration or existing covers you like/dislike. * For covers: The final title, author name, subtitle, and blurb for the back-cover.

Yes, you can! However, any images you provide must be high-resolution (at least 300 dpi) and you must hold the commercial rights to use them for your book design. We are not responsible for copyright issues related to client-provided images.

Our standard packages include a specific number of rounds of revisions (e.g., 2 or 3 rounds) after the initial concepts are presented. Minor text and typo corrections are usually addressed quickly. Extensive changes that go beyond the scope of the agreement may be subject to an additional fee.

Upon final payment, you receive full commercial usage rights for the final, approved design and its electronic files. We retain the right to display the design in our portfolio and marketing materials.

We are a design studio, so we do not handle the actual printing or direct publishing (uploading to Amazon, etc.). However, we ensure your files are created to the exact specifications required by major print-on-demand services (KDP, IngramSpark) and will provide guidance on preparing for those platforms.
