Covers and format for Smashwords, Amazon

Design & Art

$30/hr Starting at $50

I have worked many years as a graphic artist primarily creating ebook covers. Often I am asked to format the book for publication as well. I started with Smashwords, but moved to formatting for Barnes and Noble and Amazon as time went by. Price list for art and formatting: 20 cents per 100 words, minimum $50 per job All formatting will be straight with no floating images because of Smashwords limitations. Epub can be done with floating images, and it will be tested, but I cannot do Epub3 and higher. All ebook formatting will be straight and to the point. $50 for front cover assembly. This is for whatever size: for ebook or print. I make one file according to the print book size you specify, and that can be resized for various internet and epub needs. Minimum $5 reimbursement fee. If you provide your own artwork it must be high resolution and clearly not stolen from any website and/or print publication. (Yes, people have tried it.) $50 for front, back and spine cover creation. This does not include flap interior. With this process I prefer to know where you are publishing your book so that I can get a template if possible to ensure quality. If not, I will need very specific details such as page count, type of paper, final book height and width dimensions, etc. Under some circumstances I will create a one of a kind piece of artwork using 3D technology. Minimum charge for this is $300 plus reimbursements for any props I may have to buy. I reserve the right to make a limited number of poster prints for my art table as well as use the artwork in my portfolio. If you wish a more animated hand-drawn style, I will consider it for $500 minimum. You would be mailed all sketch material and the final artwork for your records, but I reserve the right to make a limited number of poster prints for my art table as well as use the artwork in my portfolio. File would be delivered in various formats according to your wishes and needs: lossless jpg, compressed jpg, png, tif, PDF, etc. My program of choice is Paintshop Pro with Photoshop running as a second. Daz Studio is my 3D platform. I tend to mix mediums and will use more than one program at any given time. Sometimes I will post the completed job with book's page link to my ebook blog, ebookcovers4u.wordpress.com, which has a small number of followers.

This was a short project that was not time-critical. It was accomplished very well in an acceptable timeframe. The level of communication from the artist exceeded our expectations. She was very thorough in ensuring that we had received all of the requested images and upon discovering a missing file, she immediately provided it to us. We have no complaints.

We are still mid-project, but she is an excellent artist with skill and the ability to listen to an employer's needs and produce the desired results. Her strongest points (to date) are her abilities to improve upon sample illustrations give to her and her ability to come up with supplemental ideas on her own that enhance the project. Already she has surprised our team with her innovations and exploratory sketches. Once she "gets" what you need, she is able to translate that into several variations of solutions, some of which will pleasantly surprise you. She is without doubt worth every penny invested in her services. We will be utilizing her services for many upcoming projects.
