Palm Bay Cover

Our Palm Bay Cover service is a clean and minimalistic design for genres like poetry, business, or religion, where emphasizing the text is paramount. It’s also a great choice for authors using existing artwork from a third-party designer or illustrator. This service option assumes minimal photo editing work but still packs a punch and effectively conveys your book’s tone to potential readers.

Custom Cover

Our Custom Cover service is appropriate for all genres and offers more choice and flexibility. This service is our most popular option, giving our authors more creative freedom to choose between two unique concepts. Your book is one of a kind, and we want the same for your cover! With our talented designers and collaborative approach, we’ll bring your book to life with a cover that matches your vision.

Complex Cover

Complex Covers are also suitable for all genres, with fiction being the most common. With this service, we offer three distinct concepts that utilize more advanced image manipulation in order to capture a multifaceted vision.

Illustrated Cover

Our Illustrated cover is most popular for fantasy, sci-fi, and children’s book genres. With this service, our illustrators can create a custom piece of cover art that serves as a powerful storytelling tool for your readers.
