Don’t worry, we’re going to talk a lot about your

Standard vs Premium is determined by amount of image
manipulation and the complexity of the image. All are photo-composite and digitally manipulated
images.
Additional costs:
The only additional cost would come from specific
images I have to purchase. All purchased images are approved ahead of time. The
original file is included with the cover if applicable. This also applies to
illustrated covers, the work is contracted out to an illustrator by me, and the
cost is included in the invoice.
Please Note:
I reserve the right to decline any cover, it has
nothing to do with your book, and everything to do with my limited schedule.
I look forward to working with you.
