Design with purpose
A cover that sells your story
Custom design shaped by your genre, your readers and the retailers you publish on.
A great cover is not just attractive. It signals genre at a glance, stays legible on a phone screen and meets each retailer's size rules, all while reflecting the tone of the book inside.
We start from your story and your readers, then develop several concepts for you to compare. You choose a direction, refine it through set revision rounds and receive files ready to upload.

Our simple cover design process
Six clear stages, set revision rounds and your approval before any final file is delivered.
1 Share your book brief
Tell us your title, genre, audience and any covers you admire so we understand your vision.
2 Genre research
We study the covers in your category so your design fits reader expectations while still standing out.
3 Initial concepts
Our designers present multiple cover concepts, each exploring a different image, layout or typographic approach.
4 Choose & refine
You pick a direction and we refine it through the revision rounds included in your package.
5 Final artwork
We prepare the finished front cover and, for print, the spine and back cover sized to your page count.
6 Files delivered
You receive upload-ready files, plus any mockups or extra formats your package includes.
Why authors trust us with their covers
Authors choose us because we design for readers and retailers, not just for how a cover looks on its own.
Genre-Aware Design
Covers shaped by what readers in your category expect to see and choose.
Built for Thumbnails
Titles and imagery tested for clarity at the small sizes shoppers actually browse.
Retailer-Ready Files
Print covers sized for Amazon KDP, with correct spine width and barcode placement.
Clear Revision Rounds
Every package states how many concepts and revision rounds are included upfront.
Rights You Can Use
Commercial usage rights included, so your cover works on listings, ads and promotions.
Designed for every genre
Cover design for every author
Whatever you write, we design a cover that speaks directly to the readers you want to reach.
Fiction Writers
Thriller, romance, fantasy and literary covers with genre-true styling.
Nonfiction Experts
Clean, authoritative covers for business, self-help and how-to books.
Memoir & Biography
Personal, thoughtful designs that honor a real life story.
Children's Authors
Bright, playful covers, with custom illustration available on quote.
Series Authors
Consistent branding that makes every book in a series recognizable.
Relaunching Authors
Refreshed covers that give an existing book a new start.
Specialized cover solutions
Each format and retailer brings its own demands. Here is how we handle the parts of cover design that matter most.
01 — Digital covers
Front covers that work at thumbnail size
Most readers first see your cover as a small image in search results, so we build bold compositions and titles that stay readable on any screen.
Your eBook cover is delivered as a ready-to-upload JPG alongside a high-resolution final file for promotional use.
02 — Print covers
Full wraps built to exact specifications
For paperback and hardcover editions we design the front, spine and back cover as one print-ready PDF, matched to your trim size and page count.
We place your ISBN barcode, check Amazon KDP size compliance and include a 3D mockup so you can preview the finished book.
03 — Illustrated covers
Original artwork for stories that need it
Some books call for artwork that stock imagery cannot provide, such as a hand-drawn character, a children's scene or complex fantasy art.
Original illustration, character illustration and complex fantasy artwork are quoted separately, so you only pay for the artwork your cover requires.
04 — Author branding
One look across every format and channel
Our Premium Author Branding package extends your design to paperback, hardcover, eBook and audiobook square covers, keeping every edition visually consistent.
It also includes five promotional mockups, a social-media launch banner and a bookmark design, so your launch materials match your book.
How much does book cover design cost?
Our cover packages are fixed, one-time prices with the concepts, revision rounds and file types listed in advance. The right package depends on whether you need a front cover only, a full print wrap or a complete launch suite.

Hello! I'm Melanie 'Babydoll' Wallace, the author of My Foundation. I was struggling to get my book out and needed help. Another author suggested that I contact Sophia Adams Project Manager and it has been a game changer. The team takes care of all the tedious task and I can now focus on me and my events. If you want a solid foundation, you should definitely contact her.

Sophia Adams, Project Manager with KDP was the mind behind my social media marketing campaign. She was there and helped me upload the book on Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, and X.

My experience with Kinetic Digital Publishers has been rewarding. This has especially been so with Dexter Mason, a unique talented individual who I feel is one of the many reasons this company has an A rating. He is passionate at what he does, customer focused and friendly. Hats off to Dexter!
