How it works
Step 1: Tell us all about your book.
We want to ensure that your book cover is not only stunning, but also fully represents your book. To do this we will need to learn as much as possible about its story or content. You can send us an overview of your book/ebook and your requirements using the form at the bottom of this page.
Step 2: Getting the detail right.
We will then contact you directly for a chat to discuss your requirements in more detail until we fully understand each of your requirements for your custom ebook/book cover design. We can then supply you with a no obligation quotation for the design service.
Step 3: Submit your 50% payment
Once you are happy to proceed we request that you submit a 50% upfront payment to us as standard, we will then commence work to create your custom cover.
Step 4: Draft within 14 days.
Your custom book cover draft will be created and is usually sent to you within 14 days*.,
Step 5: Unlimited revisions
We can continue to make any revisions you require to your draft cover until you are 100% happy with the final design.
Step 6: We send you your complete, ebook/print-ready, custom cover.
Your completed custom cover will be supplied in ebook and/or print-ready file format to you specifications.
Fee (excl. VAT) includes a complete book cover design inspired by your book in ebook and/or print format plus any stock imagery for use on your cover as sourced by XL Book Cover Design (unless otherwise quoted during the drafting process), terms and conditions apply. Other, specific requirements as made by the author will be quoted upon request. *The first draft of your book cover is normally sent to you within 14 days, depending on workload it may take longer. We will always inform you of this if your cover is likely to take longer.

Customer Testimonials
Werner Strobl, Author of ‘The Winning Ticket’
“Publishing a book can be an exciting process. From opposite ends of the world, coordinating time zones and a relatively hectic deadline, you made that credo ring: under promise over perform.
Creative, professional, punctual, reliable and humble. You got me more excited about publishing The Winning Ticket than I already was. The cover you designed, like an impressionist – with few strokes, both powerful and subtle, you captured the heart of my book.
The cover tells my story. It does not get better.”
K L Atkins, Author of ‘A Possession of Passion’
“First of all-WOW!!!! After extensive research for a designer for my book cover, I decided to use ‘XL Book Cover Design’. I am so thrilled that I made this decision as James has brought my vision to life, plus evolved it into something far greater than I imagined.
As a writer my cover was very personal to my story, James listened and made even the smallest changes that I required even offering suggestions. I highly recommend and will only ever use James for all of my future works.
Thank you for your patience and support James, what a fabulous end product! :-)”
Billy Grant, Author of ‘My Christianity: A Christianity For The 21st Century’
“James at XL Creations produced exactly what I had in mind and more. He also stuck to the timeframe and price agreed, even though the cover image evolved and grew a little from the initial concept. I would certainly recommend and use XL Book Cover Design again.
Some people go the extra mile for you, and James is one of those people. ”
Harold Phifer, Author of ‘SleepWalking Out of Afghanistan’
