My basic fee is $45.00 for a 2-D e-book cover. This fee includes several initial variations (usually 3) on the style and/or design of your cover using a number of different fonts and placements. I will also manipulate the cover image if I think it will enhance the look you are seeking. From there, you can ask for four further amendments. If you require more than the seven variations that we have now tried, then I charge an additional $4.00 per tweak.
My basic fee does NOT include any time that I may spend looking for an image for you. I ask that you provide your own image.
Turn around time is about three days from the time I reply to your email. If you want express service, where I work solely on your cover until it is finished, then the fee is $55.00.
If you want extensive work done that requires a lot of time, I will have to charge you more for the cover. If this is a possibility, I will let you know in advance.
Many public domain images can be found at Wiki Commons Here's a good caution: if you use a public domain image for your e-book cover, it is possible you will STILL have to credit the original creator. The majority of the images at Wiki Commons ask for attribution for the creator of the image. Also, Presentation Zen has a list of places where you can get low cost or FREE high quality images. You might also try Flickr in their creative commons area. Please remember to read all image copyright material carefully.
3-D Images:
The 3D image I create allows your e-book to look like a paperback standing upright on a table. There appears to be a slight curve in the cover and a
reflection of the cover beneath it. This e-book cover looks good on your personal website.
My fee is payable through Paypal, so currency conversion is done automatically. I will send you an invoice so you have a record of the expense of your e-book cover.
