Book Cover Design
A cover designed to sell your book at a glance, in a bookstore, in a thumbnail, and everywhere in between.
Readers judge a book by its cover before they read a single page, and retailers judge it before it ever reaches a shelf. Certiva's design team builds covers that read clearly at thumbnail size, signal your genre correctly, and hold up in print.
You'll get concept options, a structured revision process, and final print- and e-book-ready files, all while you retain full ownership of the artwork.
