Cover Plus
If you already have your own photo or design – or at least a very clear idea of what your book cover should look like – perfect! We’ll take care of the design process and send you several drafts to choose from.
Don’t have a cover idea yet, or would you like us to include your author photo on the back of the book? No problem at all. Based on your book’s description, we’ll search for suitable visual concepts and design your individual book cover – including your author photo on the cover – creative, professional, and tailored to your story.
Need some inspiration? Here are some of our finest covers:
Softcover or Hardcover
The choice is yours: decide between a classic softcover edition or a premium hardcover binding. We’ve summarized the key advantages and disadvantages for you:
| Softcover | Hardcover |
Production Costs | Lower than hardcover, allowing for a more attractive retail price | Higher production costs, which result in a higher retail price |
Format | Lighter, fits more easily into your bag, and is more convenient on the go | Heavier and bulkier, therefore less suitable for travel or casual reading |
Perceived Value | Feels less premium and is less eye-catching than a hardcover | Creates a high-quality impression, better suited as a gift or collector’s item; appears more prestigious |
Durability | Corners bend more easily and the spine may break sooner | More durable cover, better shape retention, and improved protection for the pages |
Layout check
We check your text for readability and printability (Are the margins sufficient for printing? Is the font size easy to read in print? Is the line spacing right? Is the resolution of the illustrations sufficient for good print quality?), embed the fonts if necessary and take care of automatic page numbers and a table of contents.
