Cover Designs Are the Perfect Outfits
for Storybooks.

  1. Days 1–5

    Brief + Competitive Shopping

    We send a discovery brief covering tone, audience, competitive shelf space, and three to five comparable titles from your category. You complete it independently or with us on a call, then three like-minded eBook cover designers begin exploring the visual direction.

  2. Day 6

    Cover Concepts Presented

    Three directions are presented as 90×140 thumbnails on an actual retail grid. We walk through the typography, color, and composition choices, then you select the direction to develop.

  3. Days 7–14

    Revision Rounds

    Two to four rounds are typical. Each round tightens typography, adjusts color, and refines title placement for the thumbnail test. We keep iterating until you approve the design.

  4. Days 15–25

    Interior Layout

    Alongside cover revisions, we lay out the interior, including chapter openers, running heads, page numbers, drop caps, and callouts. Two rounds of interior revisions are included.

  5. Days 26–30

    File Delivery

    You receive a print-ready PDF for IngramSpark or KDP, a reflowable EPUB and KPF for digital retailers, the full print wrap, and source files in InDesign and Photoshop when requested.

Book covers’ visual hierarchy.

Background Imagery, Characters, Typography,
Color Palette, and Composition.

Our eBook cover design team creates genre-specific covers for nonfiction and selected fiction, combining strong visuals, professional typography, and thoughtful composition for your book.

  • Genre discovery. Every cover begins with your book’s genre, audience, and market. Pooky Books studies visual trends and reader expectations before a single design concept takes shape.
  • Background imagery. Images, textures, and visual elements are selected to support your story without competing for attention, creating a strong foundation for the entire cover.
  • Character & subject placement. People, objects, or focal elements are positioned to guide the reader’s attention and establish a clear visual path across the design.
  • Typography system. Title, subtitle, author name, and supporting text are arranged with balanced hierarchy, readable fonts, and spacing that remains effective in both print and thumbnail views.
  • Color palette & contrast. Every color serves a purpose, helping your cover reflect the book’s tone while improving visibility across online bookstores, mobile devices, and printed editions.
  • Composition & format adaptation. Pooky Books balances every visual element into one cohesive layout, then adapts the design for eBooks, paperbacks, hardcovers, and marketplace requirements.
  • Final cover optimization. Before delivery, every file is reviewed for dimensions, bleed, resolution, color accuracy, and platform specifications, ensuring your cover is ready for publishing from day one.
