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, here’s what happens next:

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: We finalise the chosen design, ensuring it meets your vision perfectly.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: I prepare the complete set of files for you, including the eBook cover, 3D mockups, and a social media banner.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: We then proceed to design the paperback cover, including the front, spine, and back.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: I complete the rest of the interior layout for the print version, which takes about 6-8 business days.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: The author reviews the full interior layout.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: We make any necessary changes based on feedback. I offer two free rounds of revisions to ensure everything is perfect.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟲: The author gives final approval for the interior paperback PDF.
