If you decide to order the ebook and print designs separately, the minimum price of the print layout will start at $70, but is typically closer to $120. Bundled pricing (ebook + print) is available at +$50 to the price of whichever package (Custom or PreMade) you’ve chosen.
We have developed a design process specifically for bundling so that we can finalize the ebook cover together before all the print details are ready. This way, you will have the front cover (ebook) art available for promo and other pre-release work. And then we’ll finalize the paperback print layout later, when you have confirmed the final details. The exact details of this process differ for Premade and Custom orders due to the unique nature of each type of design.
At this time, we offer a bundle discount for paperback print layouts only. If you’d like a hardcover print layout, please contact us to evaluate cost.
Here is a preview of the info needed to design a print layout:
- What the paperback’s trim size will be (standard: 6×9, 5.5×8.5, 5.25×8, 5×8″)
- What company you’re printing with (KDP or LightningSource/IngramSpark)
- What color paper you will print on (cream or white). Cream paper is thicker than white paper, so this will effect the final spine size.
- The final page count. The fully formatted, ready-to-print page count of your manuscript will determine the final spine width.
- The back cover blurb
- Optional: Author information such as links to your website or social media.
- For Lightning Source or IngramSpark ONLY, we’ll also need: 1) The ISBN, 2) The price, if you’d like it embedded in the barcode on the back cover, 3) Gloss or Matte finish on the cover

Also I love how communicative she is. My previous experience (with a different designer) left me kind of in the dark about what was happening and I didn’t feel like I was actually a part of the process. Christa has been awesome in getting back to me in a timely manner EVERY TIME I reached out to her.
