Your cover is your ad.
Is it getting the click?

You can, and plenty of publishers start there. The difference is in three places. We research what's already selling in your category before designing anything, instead of starting from a prompt. You choose from dozens of ideas, all tested at thumbnail size, instead of accepting whatever one prompt produced. And the finished cover is rebuilt by hand in every format, as a layered file you can edit — not one flat image you can never change.

Once you've picked an idea, we keep improving it — lettering, colours, images, layout — until you're happy. There's no limit on rounds and no extra charge. If you decide you want a completely different idea after we've started building, we'll talk it through and tell you honestly what it means for your timeline.

All of them: Kindle, paperback, hardcover and ACX audiobook. Each one has a different size and shape, and each is built properly rather than stretched from another, with the spine sized to your exact page count. You also get the layered file, so the design is fully yours.

Yes, to explore ideas, and we're open about that — it's how you get dozens of ideas instead of three. But nothing we send you is a raw AI image. The idea you choose is rebuilt by hand in Photoshop: lettering set properly, artwork cleaned up and corrected, everything on its own layer. If an idea can't be brought up to a professional standard, we tell you rather than send it.

We test it before you see it. Every idea goes through the same six checks — can the title be read as a thumbnail, does the eye go to the right place, does the image fit the book, does it look like its category, is the layout clean, will KDP accept it — plus the grayscale and blur tests. Then we put it in a mock row of Amazon search results next to your real competitors, because that's where buyers will see it.

Your first cover ideas usually arrive within a few days of your brief. The finished files follow once you've picked one and we've made your changes. The pace depends mostly on how quickly you send feedback — your project manager gives you a schedule for your project when it starts.

It's rare with dozens to choose from. Usually it means the brief needs refining, so we create a fresh batch of ideas to hone in on the winning design.

Yes. Send us the covers you already have and we'll match their lettering, colours and layout, so the new book sits neatly next to the others on Amazon.

A small team, not a marketplace. Your own professional graphic designer creates every idea for your book and does all the finishing by hand — the same person from start to finish. Your own project manager publishes on KDP and coaches other publishers; they do the research, run your review page and help you upload to KDP. Josiah, who founded KDPChimp, has published 100+ books over eight years on KDP.

Because the same designer works on every cover and the same project manager runs every project. 15 is what they can do without the quality slipping or your emails going unanswered. When the month is full, we tell you the next start date rather than take your money and put you in a queue.
