All our ebook and KDP book covers are produced by our own designers here at TCC. We do not sell book covers produced by anyone else.

We design premade ebook covers which are 1600 pixels wide x 2400 pixels high. This has been shown to be a generic book cover size which is accepted by most of the major ebook retailers. We can adjust the size for you if necessary, depending on where you wish to sell your book.
-
All our premade ebook covers are produced in JPEG format. Our KDP full print covers (front, back and spine) are provided in both PDF and JPEG format. Audiobook covers are produced in JPEG format also.

Yes. If you'd like to purchase one of our covers you can use a temporary title until the book is completed. There is no charge for this service, providing your book title is changed prior to completion of the file.
-
No, we are not illustrators. All of our designs are created by manipulating photographic stock images. Should you be looking for a bespoke illustrated book cover, you will need to purchase your cover (or cover image) from an illustrator.
-
We are not able to add/change/remove items of clothing from models in our premade designs. However, if it's a colour change or removal of one of the other elements in the design, we may be able to help. There will be an additional charge for this due to the design time involved. Please contact us for details.
-
Yes, we provide KDP covers which include front, back and spine. Your file will be sent to you in PDF format.

Should you have any further questions regarding our KDP print covers, please do contact us.
-
Yes, we can.
-
We are exceptionally busy and are unable to provide mockups prior to purchase.
-
Due to licensing restrictions, we are unable to use the same image for use as a series. We will happily match covers so they tie together by using the same font(s) and/or similar images from the same photographer (if available).
-
Yes, we do. More information on our IngramSpark covers can be found on our prices page.
-

-
We do not provide editable, layered PSD files of our covers. Should you require an adjustment to your cover after completion, please contact us. We are happy to discuss any changes you require.

We produce audiobook covers at 2400 x 2400 pixels and that have an image resolution of 300dpi.
-
Prior to completion, we are happy to make changes to your cover free of charge (within the stated number of rounds). Please contact us for details if you require changes to a completed design. If your cover was finalised over 12 months ago or your book has been available online, there are some adjustments we will be unable to provide.
-
No, but you DO own sole rights to the actual cover design we produce for you. Although we do purchase stock images for use due to their exceptional quality, we invariably add additional textures and/or other design elements to the image to create a final ebook cover that is completely unique.
-
Yes, of course! We welcome customers from all over the world and are happy to discuss your book cover requirements. Payment can be made via Paypal, who will convert your currency to GBP automatically.
-
Due to time constraints, we no longer offer unlimited revisions on our premade book covers. You will still receive up to three changes (if necessary), completely free of charge prior to completion. This has proved to be ample for the vast majority of our clients. Subsequent changes are provided at £10 per revision.
-
Initial drafts are generally provided within 4/5 days. Once you have chosen the design you'd like to go with, you will receive your completed cover within 48 hours.
-
No. When you purchase a cover from us, it is removed from the site and will not be offered for sale again. All images on our premade and custom book covers are used once only and do not feature on any of our future covers. As with most book cover designers, we do use stock photography, but change our images whenever possible to create book cover designs that are unique and will help your book sell.
-
You may sell up to 500,000 copies of your book without any restrictions whatsoever. Should your book become incredibly successful and you sell more than 500,000 copies, an Enhanced License would then be required.
-
We add new book cover designs at least twice a week.
-
We can’t stop you changing the design in whatever way you wish once you have received the optimised file. However, we do not want to be credited for book covers that have been adjusted post completion by someone other than us. For example: Adding characters to the design yourself or changing the overall colour or tone of the completed file. If you do require any changes to a completed book cover, we are always happy to do this for you.
Please note that we reserve the right to refuse further orders if previous designs have been changed. This will stand even if the covers are part of a series.
