Pricing Questions
These answers cover the standard premade-cover package. If you need something different, I’ll confirm the details and price before any additional work begins.
Is each premade cover sold more than once?
No. Every premade design is sold once only and removed from sale as soon as it is purchased.
Is a paperback wrap included in the €195 price?
No. The standard package includes the exclusive personalised front cover. Paperback wrap formatting is available separately for €75 once final print specifications are supplied.
Can I buy the artwork without typography?
Yes. The cover can be supplied without title and author typography, but the price remains €195 because you are purchasing the exclusive design and licence.
Can the character, clothing or setting be changed?
Major artwork changes are not included in the premade package. If you need changes to a character, clothing or setting, please ask first and I can confirm whether the work is possible and provide a separate quotation.
What happens if my page count changes?
A print wrap should only be finalised after the trim size, page count, paper type and printer specifications are confirmed. Later spine-width changes may require additional work.
Do I receive layered working files?
No. Final covers are supplied as professionally prepared flattened publication files. Layered working files, source assets, separate artwork elements and production materials are not included.
Can the cover be adapted for a sequel or series?
Yes. Series and sequel branding can be quoted separately, subject to the visual requirements of the later books.
How long does delivery take?
Personalised premade-cover files are normally prepared within 24–48 hours after your final title and author details have been received.
