Design & Layout
Covers and interiors that look right on a shelf, a screen and a printed page.
Readers judge a book by its cover and stay with it because of its interior. These services cover the cover itself (front, back and spine), the inside pages for print and ebook, and the illustrations, maps and graphics that belong to specific kinds of books.
Who it is for. Authors preparing a book for print, ebook or both, including books that need illustrations, maps or custom artwork.
Every service below can be booked on its own or combined into a package. You keep the copyright and publishing rights to your book unless you agree otherwise in writing, and you receive a written quote before any work begins.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know my page count before ordering a cover?
For a full wrap cover the spine width depends on page count, paper and trim size. Our free cover and spine calculator gives a planning figure, and the final size comes from the platform you print with.
Which ebook formats can you prepare?
EPUB, MOBI and KPF are covered, along with print-ready PDF for paperback and hardcover.
