Covers built to stop the scroll and sell the book
Genre-smart cover design that works at thumbnail size, signals your story at a glance, and arrives ready in every format: ebook, print and audiobook.
TITLE
Commissioning a cover is harder than it looks
Most cover problems are predictable. Here are the ones authors hit most, and how we head each of them off.
Covers that read at a glance
Genre-led directions, legible where it counts.
Sample directions, shown at thumbnail size, the size most readers first meet your book. Every cover is designed around your own title and story.
Every format your book needs
One commission, all the files, each built to spec.
Need only an ebook cover? That's fine too. Add print and audiobook whenever you're ready.
How a cover comes together
A clear path from brief to final files, with no surprises.
Brief
A guided form captures your genre, comparable titles, mood and any must-have elements, so we start aimed in the right direction.
Concepts
You receive distinct cover directions to react to, not a single take-it-or-leave-it design.
Refine
We develop your chosen direction over an agreed number of revision rounds until it's right.
Deliver
Final files arrive in every format you need, to spec, with full commercial rights.
One look, cover to reel
v2p can design your cover and your book trailer to share the same visual world, so your book is unmistakable on the shelf and in the feed.
Common questions
How do I brief a cover if I'm not a designer?
You don't need design language. Our guided brief asks about your genre, a few comparable books and the feeling you want, and we translate that into cover directions for you to react to.
Will it work as a thumbnail on Amazon?
Yes. We design and check every cover at thumbnail size, because that's where most readers first see it, so the title and image stay clear even when it's tiny.
What files will I receive?
Ebook at the standard 1600 × 2560, a full print wrap with the spine sized to your page count and bleed for your printer, and a 3000 × 3000 audiobook cover if you need one. Social images and 3D mockups can be added.
Do I own the cover and can I use it anywhere?
Yes. You receive full commercial rights, with artwork and fonts properly licensed, so you can use your cover for the book and all its promotion with no later issues.
Can the cover match my book trailer?
Yes, and it's where v2p is unusual. We can design your cover and your reel to share the same visual world, so your book is consistent on the shelf and in the feed.
How many revision rounds are there?
An agreed number, set out before we start, so the process stays clear and the cost doesn't run away with surprise extras.
