Overview
MY FEES
My fee for cover design is $1050. This includes:
• at least 3 unique cover concepts to choose from
• changes based on your feedback
• 3D mockup
• eBook cover
• 1 fully designed, printer ready mechanical layout (front, spine and backad)
Having a professionally designed book cover is crucial to the success of a book. Choosing a designer who has the experience of working with two of the largest publishing houses in the world, Random House and Simon and Schuster is one of the most important—and wisest—investments you’ll make in your book’s journey towards publication.
My years of experience of working with some of the most talented editorial, marketing and publicity people in the world gets passed on to my clients as we work collaboratively towards a stunning package that will stand out and sell books in a very crowded marketplace.
I support my clients from the initial phase of cover concept right through to creating the final, fully designed, printer ready files. All aspects of the packaging are carefully considered including messaging on both the front and the back covers using the cover to it's fullest selling potential.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
PROCESS
We begin with an initial conversation which serves as the cover concept discussion.
I prefer to read as much of a manuscript as possible to get inspiration, so I ask for at least 2 weeks from receipt of the script to delivery to you of the first round of comps. If time is of the essence I can work with a summary.
Most of my clients prefer to communicate over the phone rather than soley through email, and I am more than happy to do that. After the delivery of the first round we'll go over changes and move on the next round of revised comps.
Once the cover is approved, and the interior design is complete we move on to the creation of the mechanical. With the back-ad copy and an author photo if needed, I put together a fully designed layout. Once that is approved I put together a printer ready PDF that you can upload to the printer you are working with.

• Landing Pages $500
• Websites 2-5 Pages $800
• Imprint Logo Design $300
• Marketing Material (Social headers, Bookmarks, Ads, Fliers, etc.) @ hourly rate of $55
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CROSS PROMOTION on SOCIAL MEDIA
It's very exciting when a book comes to fruition, and I am often very proud to announce the publication of my clients' books on my Instagram and FB feeds.

TESTIMONIALS
"In my experience, the world of book publishing essentially boils down to three levels of art designers: many are decent, some have real talent, and a tiny fraction are stone-cold, lights-out pros that can make an author do backflips out of sheer delight. Laura Duffy is that third one. "
—Kent Hartman, bestselling author of
The Wrecking Crew and Goodnight, L.A. and editor of Life In the Key of Rubini
"I came to Laura from one of the big box self publishing companies that do it all for you. My experience with this company had been disappointing at every step. But when I saw the cover they had designed, I knew that I needed to jump ship and find a professional graphic artist to completely rework the cover.
Laura did an awesome job. After reading through my book, she provided several different conceptual suggestions for a cover. From that group, we worked together to fine tune the image, text and font. In the end, Laura provided me with an absolutely perfect cover for my book. She was good natured and easy to work with. In addition, I found Laura to be flexible, attentive and most important, artistically talented and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Laura for book cover design." —Rob Brown M.D., author of Toxic Home | Conscious Home
"Laura is a fantastic book cover designer. Beyond the creative inspiration she has brought to my novel's cover, she has also been available night and day to promptly answer my emails. She brought together the e-book and mechanical covers, and actually helped me when I ran into issues with my interior epub/MOBI formatting--which I hadn't even hired or paid her for. Very professional and personable. Strongly recommend."
—Sean Dunn, author of Anthem's Fall
"Laura did excellent creative work designing the book cover for Double Happiness. She was patient, inventive, and knowledgeable, and she created not just a stunning front cover, but also a gorgeous back cover for the book, as well as a set of special covers for the book's Advanced Review Copies and a fully functional cover for the e-book that works beautifully across electronic platforms and formats. She was also incredibly patient as I requested numerous copy and design changes throughout the creative process, and she always responded in a timely manner. Dynamite creative!" —Tony Brasunas author, of Double Happiness
