Creating Covers That Capture Attention

People really do judge a book by its cover. A professionally designed cover is often the first thing a reader notices, and in just a few seconds it can determine whether they decide to learn more or move on.

At Samuel Fenwick Publishing, I create custom book covers that are visually striking, professionally designed, and tailored to your book's genre and audience. Every cover is carefully developed to reflect the story within while meeting the technical specifications required for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark.

Whether you're publishing your first novel, memoir, children's book, or non-fiction title, my aim is to create a cover you'll be proud to share.

Step 1 – Understanding Your Book

Before any design work begins, I'll discuss your manuscript, genre, target audience, and any ideas or inspiration you already have. This helps create a cover that truly represents your book.

Step 2 – Developing the Concept

Using your ideas and the themes of your book, I begin developing concepts, selecting colours, typography, imagery, and overall composition to suit your audience.

Step 3 – Building the Complete Cover

The front cover, spine, and back cover are designed as a complete wraparound cover, ensuring every element works together professionally.

Step 4 – Preparing for Publication

Once approved, your finished cover is prepared to meet the technical specifications required for Amazon KDP and IngramSpark, including the correct dimensions, bleed, spine width, and print-ready files.
