Where To Get An Outstanding Ecover For Kindle?

Another option outside of the WF is pre-made ebook covers.

This will vary depending on your genre. The artist creates the covers, but, typically only sells each one once. You get a one of a kind cover but without a lot of input. The artist puts in your TITLE and AUTHOR NAME.

I did a quick GOOGLE and found some options there.

I'll second that recommendation. Di is a great gal to work with

These are all good suggestions. Here are some issues to consider, as you consider your options:

Research your niche/genre and see what is selling successfully It may not be what you think.

For instance everyone seems to want to put a couple on a romance cover. However, currently in some romance niches , the bestsellers do not have people on the covers. Hmmmmm.

Make sure the covers look good on a B&W kindle. That means that in a grayscale thumbnail 87 Pixels wide, you should be able to read the TITLE and the AUTHOR NAME.

Also, book covers should be flat images, not the IM 3-d look, in most instances.

Rose has an excellent point.

I purchase the images myself. If someone else is working for me, I provide the images.

I write fiction and use Scrivener. I have created a Scrivener template for book Series that keeps everything together in one Scrivener project. Because image license rights vary so much, I have a folder in my Scrivener project where I keep a thumbnail of the purchase image as a reference, a copy and paste of the license, and the information on the artist to include in my book credits.

If you write fiction, Scrivener is your friend...

Unique book cover and stock images are two totally different issues.

Most unique book covers use stock images in one way or another... The key is to present the stock image(s) in a different and unique way ;-)

here in WF seems to know a bit (or a lot) about the subject.

I don´t know if he takes jobs though.

You callin' me 'average'?

Pffft Steve :p,

And sometimes you get outstanding quality for a really good price. Don't determine a designer's worth by their price.

Sometimes they use the low price as a loss leader for future business

As my American friends would say "Jus' sayin is all"

Well now, when you are talkin bout folks what make graphics, two of them folks come right to mind... Diana Heuser and Karl Warren!

Now Di Heuser (she likes to be called Di cause she don't like to be called E, F or G) is good at just about anythin she does. I know for a fact that, not only does she do mighty fine bookcovers, BUT she is good at feedin chickens, sloppin the hogs and brandin the cows. I am thinkin she got all that experience from livin out in the jungles of South Africa.

Karl Warren is a mighty fine graphics person what lives way over there in the United Kingdom! I am just itchin to go over there and discuss graphics with Karl over tea and crumpets or fish and chips. Quite honestly I ain't never figured out what fish has to do with gamblin but I'm game!

You cain't go wrong by hirin either one a those folks. BTW, they is all official residents of Stumpwoody Holler so you KNOW they gots to be good folks!

Ya'll take care now!

Hey Kristine,
I´m a tad confused with your signature... you have a 6 figures business and design covers?

That´s awesome! I didn´t know you could scale like that.
