How much is the ProWriter cover design service?
eBooks generally include a front cover only and are formatted for digital platforms like Kindle, Apple Books, and other e-readers. This option often includes minimal text formatting and basic image licensing.
A paperback includes a front cover, spine, and back cover design. Since paperbacks require a full-wrap design, additional elements like spine text, blurb formatting, and barcode placement are often included. Depending on the project, this may include custom illustrations or more detailed typography.
Hardcover similar to paperback design, but typically includes additional specifications for dust jackets (if applicable) or sturdier cover materials. Hardcover designs can also involve embossing, foiling, and other custom features, which may incur additional costs if required by the project.
Add-Ons & Customisations Nakazzi & Co. offers additional services at an extra cost, including:
Illustrated Covers
3D Mockups
Brand Consistency Package
However, to find out the exact price of your specific cover design, submit a ProWriter quotation form and let our Professional Writers team know your specific needs. Prices can vary depending on whether you want a paperback and ebook, a hardback and ebook, or simply an ebook.
Here's a golden tip for writing:
Show, don't tell. Instead of explaining what a character feels or thinks, paint a vivid picture through their actions, dialogue, and the sensory details of their world. This technique immerses readers and lets them experience the story firsthand, making your writing more engaging and impactful.
