CUSTOM EBOOK COVER DESIGN PROCESS:
Nope. All changes made to the cover must be done by our designer. This includes name/title changes, restructuring, or image additions.
CAN YOU MODIFY COVERS CREATED BY OTHER DESIGNERS?
Not generally. In order to modify another designer's work, we would need written authorization from that designer and a copy of the editable file.
ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON USING MY DESIGN?
No, you may sell up to 250,000 copies of your eBook without any restrictions whatsoever. Should you sell more than this or require any further information on licensing, please let us know.
HOW QUICKLY CAN I GET AN APPOINTMENT?
We are generally booked at least 2 weeks out. Exceptions can sometimes be made.
CAN WE USE ONE OF MY OWN IMAGES ON THE COVER?
Yes, we can use an image you have taken as long as it is a high quality image with at least 300dpi and if you have a model release from any persons in the photo.

- Client fills out the Author/Client Sheet and New Project Form -OR- if unable to download or fill out forms, Client will submit a contact form with a request to have forms sent to Client via email.
- Client fills out and emails completed forms to kapmorgan@yahoo.com. This part of the process will include:
- Searching for possible images to be used from one of several different stock sites,
- Looking through other book covers on Amazon to get a feel for what is wanted,
- Offering ideas or other suggestions envisioned for the cover (i.e. color scheme, branding, etc...)
- Once forms are received, Designer will contact Client to schedule a conference call to finalize the cover and will provide contact information.
- Designer will create a mockup as a starting point for the project, based on ideas, concepts, images, and any other specifics outlined in the New Project Form.
- At the specified time of conference call, Designer will await contact from Client to begin conference call.
- During the call, the Designer and Client will exchange multiple emails, modify the project as needed, and discuss any questions that may arise.
- Generally, the book cover project will be completed within 24 hours of the end of the call.
- Designer will send the final eCover to Client for approval.
- Once the final eCover design has been approved by Client, Designer will email the final invoice to the client. After it has been paid, the finalized eCover image will be digitally delivered to the Client in three different sizes to accommodate all ePublishing houses (i.e. Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Apple, etc...)
*NOTE: A non-refundable, but fully transferable $50 deposit may be required to begin a custom project.
FULL PRINT COVER NOTES:- Client may request a full print cover for their eCover at any time during the process, but the cover cannot be completed without a final fully formatted page count from the printing company. CreateSpace is the primary printing platform used by our clientele. If other platform is used, Client must supply written specs for his/her printer as needed by Designer.
- A full print cover will include a complete one-piece spread paperback book cover design and layout of the front, back, and spine—set to Client’s printer specifications and a high resolution, print ready .pdf of the cover for Client to send to Client’s printer.
- The front cover on a full print cover may have to be modified slightly to accommodate the requested trim size for the paperback book as all eCovers are formatted at a 6x9.
