How much does a professional book cover cost? And more importantly, what are you actually paying for?

Author and studio producer Shane Lochlann Black breaks down the real costs of professional book cover design for authors. We’ll look at what makes a cover expensive, what to avoid, and the difference between hiring an illustrator and a graphic designer.

We’ll also examine common book cover mistakes, typography problems, genre expectations, and why some covers look amateur even when the author has overspent or been made to wait longer than necessary.

Finally, we’ll cover how to brief a book cover designer, what files you should receive when the job is finished, and how to create a consistent book cover series that looks professional.
