What You Get With Our Book Cover Design Services

Readers decide in seconds whether to click on a book. So your cover has one job: to tell the right reader that this book is for them.

  • Genre Research

    Before we design, we study the bestsellers in your genre. That way, your cover signals the right mood while still looking fresh and original.

  • Custom Concepts

    You receive several unique concepts, built around your title, your story and your readers. Then you choose a direction and we refine it with you.

  • Ebook and Print Files

    You get a high-resolution ebook cover and a full print wrap with spine and back cover. We size the spine to your exact page count and paper.

  • Licensed Images and Fonts

    We use properly licensed photos, art and fonts. As a result, you can print, sell and advertise your cover without legal worries.

Your Cover Is Your Best Salesperson

A strong cover works for you on every store page, ad and social post.

How Our Cover Design Process Works

You always know which stage your cover is at and who is working on it.

  1. 01

    Creative Brief

    First, you tell us about your book, your readers and covers you love. We also ask for a short summary and any key images from the story.

  2. 02

    Concepts

    Next, your designer sends a set of concepts. Each one takes a different approach, so you can compare real options side by side.

  3. 03

    Revisions

    Then we refine your chosen design. We adjust type, color and imagery until it feels exactly right to you.

  4. 04

    Final Files

    Finally, you receive every file you need, including 3D mockups for social media and ads.

Book Covers That Work at Every Size

Most readers first see your cover as a small image on Amazon or a phone screen. So we test every design at thumbnail size. Your title must be readable and your image must be clear, even when the cover is the size of a stamp.

Yet a cover must also look great in print. That is why we set up print files with the right bleed, color profile and spine width for your printer. We design for Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press and local printers alike.

Your cover is part of a bigger visual story. Pair it with book illustration services for custom art, or with book interior design so the inside matches the outside. Then use your new cover in a book trailer for your launch.

What our authors say

  • I didn't realize how much my previous cover was hurting my sales until Ordwick redesigned it. They explained how my old title font was completely illegible at thumbnail size on Amazon. The new ebook cover they designed is bold, professional, and readable even on a smartphone screen. My click-through rate improved almost immediately.

    Claire M.

    Thriller Author

  • Formatting a full print cover for IngramSpark was giving me a headache. Ordwick took my front cover concept and built a flawless full-wrap design, perfectly calculating the spine width, barcode placement, and bleed margins. Seeing the final physical paperback with its perfectly aligned spine was an incredible feeling.

    Sarah L.

    Non-Fiction Author

  • The best part of working with Ordwick was that the cover designer actually understood my book. Because they work in-house alongside the editors, they knew the core themes of my manuscript without me having to fill out a massive creative brief. The final design perfectly reflects the soul of the story, not just a short summary.

    David K.

    Memoirist

  • Ordwick didn't just publish my book; they treated it like a piece of architecture. Every font choice, every margin, every marketing move was intentional and precise.

Book Cover Design FAQs

Still have a question? Book a free call

How many cover concepts will I see?

Most projects include three unique concepts. Then you pick one, and we refine it with you until you love it.

Do I get both ebook and print covers?

Yes. You get a front cover for ebooks and a full print wrap with spine and back cover for paperback or hardcover. We can also make an audiobook cover.

Who owns the final cover?

Once the project is paid, you can use the final cover for your book, ads and marketing. We license all images and fonts for commercial use.

Can you design a series look?

Yes. We can create a design system for a whole series, so each new book looks related but still stands out.

How much do your book cover design services cost?

We quote each cover on its own. The price depends on whether you need custom art, a print wrap and extra formats. Ask for a free quote.

How long does a cover take?

Most covers take two to four weeks, including revisions. Illustrated covers can take a little longer.
