FAQs
What is the workflow process?
Once you contact me and fill out the Custom Cover Form, I’ll review the form and ask you any additional questions and give you a time frame. I’ll create 1-3 mockups of ideas based on your form. I’ll send you a proof and we will work together for edits and corrections. Once you are happy with the cover, you will send me your approval. I will send you an invoice. Once payment is made, I will email you the final files within 24hrs of payment (the exception being weekends - I don’t always work on weekends).
Note: Most of the communication you will receive from me will literally be between 7pm - 2am (central).
How much does it cost?
Currently, I’m working off an hourly rate until I can better and more accurately price a flat rate that benefits the author and myself. I use a timeclock program to accurately keep track of hours.
My current rate is $25/hour.
The cost of the above covers ranges from $180-$250
How long does it take?
Depending on the complexity of your cover and my normal day-to-day schedule (quick reminder: I’m a mom to a tiny toddler terror and still working a corporate 9-5 job), it could take me a week to a month to get the first proofs to you. However, I am a perfectionist so my proofs are fairly polished. The turnaround time after the first proofs for edits is usually between 3-5 days.
As mentioned in the first question, once I get your form, I’ll contact you with any additional questions. This is also where I’ll be able to tell you roughly how long it will take me.
How do I pay you?
I currently accept payments through PayPal and Venmo. I will hopefully have more options in the near future.
I send all invoices through PayPal so you can pay directly there but if you want to pay via Venmo, just let me know so I can mark it correctly in the system.
Yes, I do offer payment plans because I know all too well how tight paychecks can get, especially now.
What do I get with my purchase of a cover?
High-resolution pdfs (with and without bleeds for printing purposes), high-resolution jpegs of the front and back cover (if applicable), a high-resolution image of the cover artwork without text (for promo purposes), a high-resolution graphic with solely the title, and 3 promo images for social media purposes. If you need different file types, just let me know and I can give you those as well.
What if I need more?
If you need additional materials such as the wide artwork, social media banners, merch (bookmarks, postcards, etc) just shoot me an email! I’m pretty flexible with add-ons! Also if you only buy an ebook cover and later down the road you want to make a paperback/hardback option available and need a spine and back cover done, again just shoot me an email and I’ll make it happen!
