Gorham Printing offers cover design for all types of authors and genres. We offer design options for authors at all experience levels. The question of how much does a book designer cost depends on the complexity of your book's cover design .Whether you have all your cover pieces or just a concept of what your cover will look like, our designers will work one-on-one with you to craft a beautiful cover for your book.
Do you have your front and back covers designed but aren't quite sure how to lay them out for printing? Our basic cover template option will be perfect for you! Our team will use a computer-generated template to assemble your pieces into a polished cover. We will add a spine if needed or a background color to match the other pieces of your cover.
We put the final touches on your cover to make it look professional and print properly. You will have a finalized ready-to-print PDF file after your cover pieces have been placed in the computer-generated template. In addition to combining your front and back covers, we will also create a cover spine and size it to your content. If you have an ISBN, we can generate and place a barcode on your back cover.
