Your cover is being judged…

Constantly.

We’ve all heard the saying…

“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”

But how often is that really true?

Much, much less often than you think.

You see, when a reader is scrolling through their favorite eBook distributor’s app, searching for their next read, the first thing they see is your BOOK COVER.

This makes it your MOST IMPORTANT marketing tool.
Meaning, you DO NOT want to scrimp on the book cover design.

So, before you read any further…

Ask yourself, what is your GREATEST MARKETING TOOL worth?

What would you give to ensure YOUR book Stops The Scroll?

Do you know what a bad cover, or even a sub-par cover tells your potential reader?

It’s not just about having an eye-catching professional design.

It’s about the professional persona your book puts off.

It’s about your BRAND as a business.

Because being an author, indie or otherwise, IS a business.

And you should treat it as such.

Because a poor cover design tells the reader you didn’t invest in your own business.

It says you probably didn’t invest in an editor or proofreader.

It says the interior could be hard to read because it doesn’t flow properly because you didn’t hire a formatter either.

It says the lack of professionalism doesn’t end with the cover.

Do you want that kind of judgement?

If you’ve come to my website… the answer is probably no, you don’t want that kind of judgement.

Because a poor cover design tells the reader you didn’t invest in your own business.

It says you probably didn’t invest in an editor or proofreader.

Have Questions?

If your question isn’t answered below, feel free to contact me at kris@krishack.design

It takes me at least 1 week to complete a cover design. This is because I complete multiple covers a week and I like to take my time to make sure the proof I deliver is ready-to-go. My schedule varies depending on the season so the best way to know when to book is to look at my availability on the booking page.

I will not read your book before creating your cover design; however I will gladly read an excerpt you wish for me to take inspiration from for the design. I’ve created a form over years of cover design to give me a good idea of what you’re looking for in a cover.

Yes, I will make changes once final files are delivered. 

Changes on custom covers after final file delivery are $50/ hour, one hour minimum regardless of challenge or complexity.

No. I do not offer fully layered files of your cover. Kris Hack LLC retains the copyright for the final cover, I am authorizing you lifetime use of the design for promoting and selling your book.

I will, however; create a separate transparency of your title only (to be used in other graphics/teasers) which is included in the custom cover package. A flattened file of the artwork alone may be added to your order for an additional charge of $100.

If your audiobook publisher is requesting a layered file, please have them contact me at kris@krishack.design and we will work something out.

Yes, you may upgrade your package at any time and upgraded files will be delivered upon cleared payment of the difference in the packages. Current pricing can be found here.

I’m so excited your book will be recorded in audio! Have your audio publisher contact me at kris@krishack.design and I will work something out with them.

No. Due to the potential legal ramifications and the unethical means AI is currently using to teach the algorithm, I don’t feel comfortable putting my clients or myself at risk of potential copyright lawsuits. AI “art” is still too new and not enough legal action has been taken for me to properly assess the potential damage (or lack there of) of using AI “art.”

We don’t have enough information on the ramifications of AI “art” use in book cover design at this time. I can’t say definitively that I will never use AI should there become available tools that teach their systems in a more ethical manner. That being said, I don’t see the genres I specialize in leaning heavily into AI “art” and feel there is no need to use it at this time. Basically, more information is needed and I can’t tell the future so as of right now, I’m going to say no, I don’t have any plans to use AI “art.”
