Book Cover Pricing

BCS offers two main tiers of book cover design: Custom and Premium. Both options include a design uniquely crafted to your book’s needs and formatting for both print and e-book (unless you opt for just e-book design) as well a starter set of social media promotional graphics. The difference between Custom and Premium is just the amount of time we spend on intensive digital painting or custom illustration for your cover.

* Already have your cover image but need help building the full cover press files? If you have a high-resolution image that will work for your cover, BCS offers a $100 discount for providing your own camera-ready art. The image must be ready to go with no heavy alterations required, and must be one that you have the legal right to use (for example, a royalty-free stock image for which you have purchased a commercial license, an illustration you created, or a photograph you have taken yourself.)
