Optional Revisions to Pre-Made Covers

We are unable to take revision requests at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience.

So, you’ve seen a cover you like and you’re thinking: “That’s almost perfect, but I wish…”

Premades are created as a unified design, and purchased as a whole. All changes listed on this page are an avenue for tweaking the cover.
If you’re interested in any revisions, contact us before purchasing. We will review your request to determine if it’s available and then provide a quote and Revision Code for the order.

Coming to a premade with the expectation of overhauling the entire design will, honestly, leave everyone disappointed. If you look at the list below and think ‘yes, I need all of those’, please inquire about a custom cover instead. (An Economy Custom Cover package falls within the same general price-range as premades.)

If you request any revisions, we strongly recommend that you purchase proofs along with your cover order. When proofs are ordered, two proofs are included and if more are needed (which is unusual), each new proof will involve an additional charge.

Here are changes that can be requested for pre-made covers*:

Fonts – current font too formal, too classic, too plain? Let us know what you’d like instead: simply reference another cover on this site and we’ll use that font on your cover. If there are multiple fonts on the cover you reference, please be specific as to which you’d like.
Font color – Want more contrast? Less contrast? Orange? Purple? Please keep in mind, though, that some colors will not work depending on the details of the design and may make the text illegible.
Additional Text – If you’d like to add a tagline, series info or other additional text (which is not already included in the design), please get in touch.
Over-all coloring – Would the design fit your story better with a warmer tone? Maybe a slight blue cast?
Eye or Hair Color – Sometimes we can make this change and other times we can’t. It depends heavily on the stock image. The same applies to clothing & object colors. Please fill out the request form, and we can discuss the details and cost.

Note: Premades can not be sold without the title & author information (aka “just the picture”). This is a violation of stock licensing. Similarly, please request any and all desired revisions before purchase. Any changes made to the final files violates the license applicable to premade covers.
Paper & Sage provides premade book cover design and not book cover stock art.

Finally, the following changes are not available for pre-made covers, due to licensing, stock and other concerns. Premades can not be “upgraded” to custom designs. These changes include (but aren’t limited to):

Advanced photo manipulation
Incorporating additional stock / elements
Mirroring a cover by another author and/or designer

Last, but not least, if you have any questions, or need a quote on a revision, please get in touch!

*All requested changes must be submitted before purchase and approved by our team.

Although it bills itself as a pre-made cover outlet, P&S actually rides the line between one-on-one designer support and a straight “here’s your cover” download experience. It’s somewhere between custom and pre-made. I liked that a lot. There’s a definite need in this market for a service like that... I liked that I was able to type in a title and my name, then pass it off for a professional tweaking.
