Product Summary: Your book cover is the first thing potential readers will see, and it can make or break their decision to purchase your book. A poorly designed cover can turn off potential readers, while a well-designed cover captures their attention and entices them to learn more. Stand out from the crowd with our book cover designs.

While you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, your readers subconsciously do. For example, someone looking for a light romance will skip past a dark, spooky cover design. So your book cover should not only display the title clearly but signal the genre as well.

At BookReady, our book cover designers know the intricacies of what works in the market and for genres. They will create your vision and send suggestions to catch your reader’s eye. You will receive files ready to use for your publishing and printing needs when the final design is approved.

To start designing your book cover, we will need:

Book title and author name
Book blurb
Completed questionnaire, including book size (trim size) and binding type

After your purchase, we will send you an email with information on sending us the above.

Getting Started items sent to BookReady.
We will send you a watermarked cover design with suggestions for edits or revisions. You can send feedback for one round of edits.
If we do not receive feedback after 30 calendar days, we will consider this stage approved and move on to the next stage.
Once feedback or approval is received, we will create and send the final book cover design.
We will consider this project approved if we do not receive feedback after 5 business days.
After receiving feedback or approval, we will send you publishing and print-ready files.

Once we have your Getting Started items, creating a print-ready cover design will take approximately 4 weeks. As with all our processes, our timeline depends on the author’s availability for feedback.
