I will design a professional kdp paperback book cover


About this gig
A cover that looks "self-published" costs you sales before a reader reads a single word.
I design print-ready paperback and Kindle covers for self-published authors and publishers built to the exact trim size, bleed, and spine width your file needs, so there are no surprises when KDP or IngramSpark run their cover checker.
I've designed covers across a real, active catalog of 25+ published cookbooks meaning I understand what makes a cover perform in a competitive Amazon category: strong thumbnail contrast, genre-appropriate typography, and a hero visual that reads clearly even at small size on a phone screen.
What makes my covers convert:
- Built at your exact KDP/IngramSpark trim size and page-count-based spine width no rejected uploads
- Thumbnail-tested composition (most buyers see your cover the size of a stamp)
- Genre-matched typography and color psychology, not generic templates
- Full front + back + spine wrap, formatted for print, not just a digital mockup
Send me your title, subtitle, trim size, page count, and any cover direction (or let me pitch concepts based on your genre) I'll turn it around fast.

FAQ
Do you need my exact page count?
Yes, for paperback wraps — spine width depends on it. I'll ask before starting if you're not sure.
Can you match my series' existing covers?
Yes, send me the current cover(s) and I'll build a matching template.
Do you do KDP AND IngramSpark specs?
Yes — the bleed and cover-checker requirements differ slightly between platforms and I build to whichever you're publishing on.
