04 Feb 3 reasons to choose a premade cover design for your book
Self-publishing a book can be quite pricey and if you are on your first publishing adventure you may find it quite daunting. Having to deal with each step of the process from scratch is not only time consuming but also nerve-wracking. Choosing a ready-made cover design can ease the publishing process and give you more time to work on your marketing campaign.
While custom cover art may offer more options and a higher grade of customization, pre-made book cover design has its own perks. If you haven’t decided which one is the best option for you, we’ve put together the top three reasons you should choose a pre-made book cover for your project:
1. A limited budget
The cost for custom cover design can start as low as ~$350 USD and go as high as several thousand dollars, depending on the type of project you have (its difficulty), the work that is needed to complete your project and the notoriety of the designer you choose to work with. With a pre-made book cover design, if you choose a skilled designer’s work, you can buy the same quality product, for a lower price. If you have a limited budget and simply cannot afford to spend more than $200 USD on the cover design of your book, then choosing a quality pre-made book cover is your best bet. Kingwood Creation offers now pre-made e-book covers for as low as $60 USD, with the standard price of around $100 USD for the majority of designs.
2. A short publishing deadline
If you are in a hurry and need to publish your book within less than 14 days, then it’s almost certain than you won’t have the time to start a custom cover design process. Most book cover designers that do custom work require booking months in advance so if you are hard-pressed to publish quickly, then going for an already-made cover is the easiest choice.
3. Finding the perfect cover right from the start
Sometimes you may simply be lucky enough to find the exact book cover that you wished for on a premade book cover design website. Some revisions may be possible in order to make the premade cover perfect for your book.
If you’re not sure whether a certain premade cover art is right for your book, then ask your friends and relatives for feedback. Better still, ask your readers how they envision the perfect cover design for your story. If you can’t find the exact concept you are looking for as a premade cover, then find an affordable book cover designer that can help you with a custom book cover design.
