Cheap covers are costly!
If you’ve written a book, spent countless hours on
your dream, and are ready to self-publish you know how important a great cover
is. It’s an accepted necessity. What you might not know is that one pretty
image is not the end of what you will need, it is just the beginning.
You will quickly discover that you need a long list of
variations and derivative graphic materials and it’s all these added and
unforeseen items that drive up the actual cost of a cheap cover. Unlike other
designers that charge you some pretty hefty fees for every little thing they
do, I do it all for one cost.
And, unlike most designers, I am a successfully
published writer of both fiction and nonfiction. I’ve created, designed, and
have seen the end results of my cover work going back decades. I’ve done it on
my own and with large publishers.
Among the things you might find yourself needing,
almost immediately, are assorted sizes, formats, and layouts of your cover.
There will be tweaks and changes along the way such as adding reviews and
updated copy. You might even need to add an award medallion or indicate that
your book is now the first book in a series.
If you do any marketing, and you will need to if you
want to sell any books, you will need a 3D version of the cover, banners, ads,
and even an audio-book version of the cover. It’s all included in one price
with me. Go price all that with another designer or service.
I don’t sell a cover and wipe my hands of you. I don't
sell packages, just waiting for you to come back for more, I sell a
professional cover with my ongoing support and service. Getting a cover for
your book is only the beginning of your needs. A cheap cover will soon cost
much more than my complete cover service.

About the Designer:
I'm a book cover designer. I've been an artist since I
can remember and have over 20 years of experience as a professional artist
creating computer games, physical props, digital art such as book covers and
digital murals, and a large body of 3D work.
I am also a commercially successful author with 10
nonfiction books to my credit (many in their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions) and
several fiction pieces, including a series of zombie novels. I've done the
covers for all of my books. My skill and experience in various art styles and
forms, as well as my understanding of traditional and indie publishing, makes
me a particularly effective book cover designer.
