I typically create 3-4 or more unique cover concepts within 5-7 business days. If you find a design that resonates with you and choose to move forward, hereโ€™s what happens next:


๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿญ: We finalise the chosen design, ensuring it meets your vision perfectly.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฎ: I prepare the complete set of files for you, including the eBook cover, 3D mockups, and a social media banner.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฏ: We then proceed to design the paperback cover, including the front, spine, and back.

(The manuscript needs to be edited and proofread before starting).


๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿญ: I receive the final edited and proofread manuscript and create a sample interior PDF for the paperback print file.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฎ: The author reviews the sample and approves it.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฏ: I complete the rest of the interior layout for the print version, which takes about 6-8 business days.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฐ: The author reviews the full interior layout.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฑ: We make any necessary changes based on feedback. I offer two free rounds of revisions to ensure everything is perfect.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿฒ: The author gives final approval for the interior paperback PDF.

๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐Ÿณ: I convert the final print layout into an eBook format, which takes an additional 3-4 business days.
