FAQ
Is your book cover illustration hand-drawn or AI-generated?
Every illustration is custom-sketched by our artists. We don't use AI, ensuring your book has a unique, soulful look that stands out from generic, automated covers.
Do I receive full commercial rights with my order?
Standard commercial usage is included, allowing you to use the art for your book. However, for full copyright transfer or broad merchandising rights, we recommend a brief discussion. Please message us before ordering so we can ensure your license covers all your future business plans.
Can you help with my specific Book Genre?
Yes we can, We specialize in Genre-Targeting. Whether you need Epic Fantasy, Dark Horror, or Sweet Romance, we use specific hand-drawn techniques to signal your genre to the right readers instantly.
Do you handle the full wrap (Spine and Back Cover)
Our Premium package offers a full-wrap design. We calculate the spine width accurately and optimize the back layout for your blurb and barcode. This results in a shelf-ready product that looks professional from every angle.
Can I see the progress before you finish?
Definitely. Our studio uses a managed workflow that includes a "Concept Sketch" phase. You approve the rough layout first, ensuring the composition and anatomy are perfect before we begin the final, time-intensive digital painting.
Is this cover ready for Amazon KDP or IngramSpark?
Absolutely. We provide print-ready 300 DPI files formatted for Kindle, IngramSpark, or other. We handle all bleed and spine calculations based on your page count for a seamless, professional upload process. ( please discuss it first )
What happens if I need a small change later?
We offer a 7-day support window after delivery for minor tweaks. This keeps your project running smoothly even after the order is closed, reflecting our commitment to a long-term partnership with your brand.
Will my cover be readable on small screens?
Yes. We use a "Thumbnail-First" strategy. By focusing on bold typography and high-contrast focal points, we ensure your custom book cover is eye-catching even at small sizes, significantly boosting your click-through rates.
