    Book Cover Design

    book design, typesetting services & staffing solutions
    To get started on your book cover design you will need to have your book interior either in the process of being formatted or already formatted (designed) by Book Styling or someone else. The total page count of your finished book interior will determine the spine width of the book cover. Therefore the interior ultimately must be finished with its formatting before the cover can be completed. But we can get started on the cover while the interior is in process. . You will need to have your finalized title and subtitle or any other text that will go on the cover. I will need a number of things later for the book back, including your ISBN number.

    We offer competitive rates on book cover design, considering the quality of work and attention to detail you will get. Our standard design fee is $250 for a perfect bound (soft cover). Extra cost of images purchased for your cover is generally added to the design fee.
