Need an illustration or more images on the back, several platforms or help uploading the files? Ask David.READY FOR PRINT
01
We keep the front cover as it is and carry its colours, fonts and artwork onto the spine and back.
02
Bleed, safe areas, spine width and barcode box come from the platform's own template, not from guesswork.
03
The file is exported to the platform's specifications, so you are not fixing errors the night before launch.
You published the ebook and now want the paperback or the hardcover.
You have the front cover but nobody made the back or the spine.
The platform flagged your cover for bleed, spine width or text too close to the edge.
The editable file if you have it, or the best image you have.
Platform, trim size, final page count, paper, back cover text and ISBN.
Back cover and spine on the official template, with your text and author photo if you want one.

Adaptation returns your editable file with the full cover. Rebuild delivers a layered file with editable text.
We work from your existing front cover. Redesigning the front, illustrations or extra images on the back, several platforms or formats, and uploading the files to the platform are quoted separately. Ask David.
Before you order
Choose Extension. We keep your design exactly as it is and extend the artwork onto the spine and back cover. If the image is too small for print, we tell you before we start.
Rebuild recreates your design with editable text layers. Adaptation returns your own editable file with the back cover and spine added.
The prices are for one platform and one format. Each platform has its own template and spine width, so ask David for a price for several.
Yes. The spine width depends on the page count and the paper. If the page count changes after delivery, the spine has to be rebuilt.
Yes, as an extra. Tell David your idea and he will give you a price before you order.
Uploading is not included in the packages. Ask David and he will tell you how he can help.
