Cover Design Questionnaire

It’s almost time to begin the cover design process. You’ll work directly with one of our Graphic Designers, who will come up with a unique and engaging cover for your book. The process will begin with a brief consultation call. Before that happens, we ask that you provide some preliminary information that will allow our designers to learn a bit about the project before they speak with you personally.
