Creative direction
We discuss the audience and book positioning before deciding on imagery.
A cover has to fit the story and the readers it is meant to attract. The best direction is not always the busiest artwork or the most fashionable typeface.

We help writers translate a manuscript’s positioning into a cover that suits the intended format. We can also build author websites for books, reading samples, publication updates and enquiries. A website that sells books or manages paid reading access involves additional functionality, which we scope separately.
Before work begins, share the title, author name, genre, synopsis and comparable books your readers recognise. Tell us where the cover will appear and whether a print edition is planned. For print, trim size, page count and printer specifications affect the final wrap layout.
