Book Cover Design
Cathi Stevenson, Book Cover Express | Email
Book Cover Express has been in business almost 20 years. We offer book cover design, interior layout, and author website packages.
- Nonfiction book cover clients receive a minimum of 5 front cover proofs within 10 business days (often sooner)!
- Full-spread, print clients receive their application files upon request.
- There are no limits to the number of images I work with.
We offer special package pricing on book covers, interior formatting, and author websites and can help you navigate the confusing world of uploading files and selling books through Amazon, IngramSpark / LightningSource, and other online retailers.
We have decades of experience and have formatted thousands of files. Don’t let an error message derail your book launch.
Like it or not, people really do judge books by their covers. The question is, do you want that to work for you, or against you? The good news is that you get to choose. I work with authors to create beautiful, professional covers that represent their books well. After all, you don’t want to put all your hard work behind a cover that sells you and your message short! I offer three different design packages tailored to different needs, but each one includes multiple initial design concepts, multiple rounds of revisions, a 3D render of the book cover you can use on your website and social media (available on most titles), and a press-ready PDF you can take directly to your printer or publisher. My specialty is Christian non-fiction, but I can work in other genres as well. If you’re ready to be GLAD when people judge your book by its cover, I invite you to get in touch today and let’s work together to create something beautiful!

Book Review Targeter is a software program that we at NFAA love!

You could do this research yourself, but it will take you countless HOURS. Every author needs reviews and we highly recommend Book Review Targeter!
