Process
To give you an idea of what to expect when ordering, below you can find a general layout of the process!
1
Initial Contact
You can contact me about working together one of three ways:
1. Email me
2. Fill out the Contact form
3. Fill out the Interest Form
(Interest Form is just slightly more detailed, but they both get to me the same way!)
​
If you email me, I will then send you an Interest Form to fill out to give me a better idea of your project.
2
Discussion, Onboarding, & Contract
Once we have agreed to work together I will send you an Onboarding form to fill out! This is all the information you would like on your cover.
​
I will also draft up a contract at this stage and send it to you via email.
3
Invoicing
Once the contract is taken care of, I will send you an invoice! Typically, 50% is due up front, and remaining 50% upon completion.
​
It is at this point that I will begin work! I will send you WIPs in one of two ways, of your preference:
1. Email
2. Discord
​
What kind of experience can I expect?
Ask your artist for the .PSD file if they are willing to give it!
This ultimately helps me in creating a cohesive cover that fits well within template! It makes it much easier to work with and edit.
Have your book template ready!
Likely you would have given this to your cover artist already so they knew what size to work it! If not though, now is the time! I will need it :)
NOTE: Templates are different depending on the company you are using for printing! For example, Amazon's template tends to be larger than Ingram Spark's. Therefore, if you are wanting to print on multiple platforms, be sure to let me know so we can size your cover appropriately for each one!
Helpful tips to make the process smoother
What files will I get at the end?
You will receive several files at the end of the process (depending on what you ordered!). For Typography, you can expect a folder containing:
-
The photoshop file of your cover
-
Ingram Spark PDF
-
Amazon PDF
-
A .PNG version of the entire cover as well as a snippet of the front for you to share on social media/etc.
-
Two different mockups
-
The Title Text in the same text as it appears on the cover in a .PNG format for your cover page
If you ordered additional items such as stickers, illustrations, etc.
-
A .PNG file of the image
-
A PDF of the image (for printing)

If you have any questions about the files, or need additional formats, please don't hesitate to ask!
