Why Professionally Designed Premade Covers Are a Better Option for Indie Authors’ Budgets.

Creating bespoke, client consulted covers is significantly more costly due to the multiple client revisions and consultations involved.

Based on meticulous design and market research, my premade covers are already crafted to suit crime fiction genres and subcategories, thereby avoiding this costly and time-consuming process.

This means I can offer self-published indie authors and small press publishers genre-specific, affordable premade murder mystery and thriller book cover designs for both eBook and print.

I understand essence of brand awareness, typography, enticement, and reader book buying psychology.

Readers quite literally judge a book by its cover! A strong title, striking genre-specific cover art, and an enticing back cover blurb can significantly boost sales. My affordable eBook and paperback cover designs include these essential elements to help your book stand out in a crowded market.

Once a cover is sold, it remains visible in the store for promotional purposes but is removed from my sales listings.

All covers:

• Are designed from scratch—I do not sell AI-generated book covers!

• Fit popular crime fiction genres or subgenres.

• Prioritise effective typography: more than just font selection, it’s crucial for catching readers' attention in crowded marketplaces like Amazon. The right genre elements and font choice make your cover readable at thumbnail size, genre-appropriate, and memorable, helping to build an author’s brand and even tie a series together.

• Are unique, tailored to one client/author, and, if part of a series, will only be sold to the same author.

• Include small revisions free of charge, such as font colour changes, title alterations, author name, and taglines.

• Come with a free bonus 3D covers graphic for marketing.
