The cover is the ad.
Yours should earn the click.

Three ways. A KDP expert researches your market and competitors first, so the concepts start from what already sells in your category rather than from a prompt. You see dozens of directions and choose, instead of accepting whatever one generation produced. And the result is built manually in fully editable layers, in every format your book needs — not a flattened image you can never change.

Once you've picked a direction, we refine it as many times as it takes — typography, colour, imagery, hierarchy — until you're happy. There's no round counter and no upcharge. Deciding you want a completely different direction after we've started building is a conversation rather than an automatic no; we'll tell you honestly what it means for your timeline.

All of them: Kindle, paperback, hardcover and ACX audiobook. Each is a different trim and aspect ratio, and each is built properly rather than stretched from the last one — with the spine calculated to your exact page count. You also get the layered source files, so the design is yours outright.

In the exploration stage, yes, and we're open about that — it's why you get dozens of directions instead of three. But nothing ships as a raw AI output. The direction you choose is rebuilt by hand in Photoshop: typography reset properly, artwork cleaned and corrected, every element separated into real layers. If a concept can't be brought to a professional standard, we tell you rather than shipping it.

We don't guess and we don't put it to a vote in the office. Every concept goes through our six-point review — thumbnail readability, visual hierarchy, imagery and story, genre signalling, composition and spacing, technical correctness — plus the grayscale test and the blur test, which between them tell you whether a cover is carrying its weight or leaning on colour and detail that vanish at browse size. Then we drop it into a simulated Amazon results row beside your actual competitors, because that is the only context in which your buyer will ever see it.

Concepts typically reach you within a few days of the brief, and the finished files follow once you've chosen a direction and we've worked through revisions. Pace depends mostly on how quickly your feedback comes back — your project manager gives you a schedule for your specific project when it starts.

It's rare across dozens of directions, but it happens — and it's usually a sign the brief needs sharpening rather than the design. We'll talk it through and go again on a new direction.

Yes, and this is where the layered files earn their keep. Send the existing covers and we'll build to the series' typography, palette and layout so the new title sits correctly alongside them on your author page.

A small fixed team, not a marketplace. You get a dedicated professional graphic designer who produces every concept for your book and does all the Photoshop finishing by hand — the same person start to finish, not whoever a marketplace assigns this week. And a dedicated project manager who is a working KDP publisher and coaches other publishers; they handle the research, your review page and your KDP upload. Josiah, who founded KDPChimp, has published 100+ books across eight years on KDP.

Because the same designer builds every cover and the same project manager runs every project personally. 10 is what the two of them can do without the quality slipping or your emails going unanswered. When the month is full, we'll tell you the next start date rather than take your money and put you in a queue.
