What forms of payment do you accept?
Do I have to pay the entire price up front?
I require a 50% non-refundable deposit, due one week before I begin. After the job is finished, I then ask that you pay the remaining balance, and I will send you the work in the correct form.
What do you need from me to create an e-book cover?
The title, author name and any blurbs you may want on the cover.
A synopsis of the book, character descriptions, (preferably taken from the book) and if you have any thoughts on the cover itself.
At least 3 covers of published books whose style you feel would compliment your book the best.

What do you need from me to create a paper/hardback cover?
Answer to question 3
My book is not complete. Can I still have a cover made?
Of course! But it is helpful to have as much ready on your book as possible. Know that I will continue to work with you until the cover is complete.

Why do I have to give you credit in my book?
A lot goes into the making of a cover, and many hours you, as the author, will never see. Research, new techniques and failures all happen before we come to an agreed look for the cover. And as an artist, I deserve the recognition on the copyright page just as the editor, publisher and formatter do. It takes a team to create a successful book. And I want your book to be successful.
