"Running a free promotion on Amazon, my book has something like 3,800 downloads already. Now #5 in top 100 free historical romances; and actually #110 among free books of every kind in the entire Kindle store. I sure as hell don't really know what gave me the comparative advantage to all the other free books, since I am unknown. Must be the cover."

"I've had so many compliments — 'creepy', 'that thing keeps watching me', 'WTF is that?' It's definitely working — it just hit #12 Bestseller on Amazon Horror & #68 on Thriller. Those eyes just jump right off the thumbnail!"

"I sold 34 copies in a 16 hour span, you're brilliant! People stopped and had their friends take a picture while they held it beside their face, the cover truly sells the book. LOVE LOVE LOVE your work"

"Thank you for the perfect cover! I enrolled it in Amazon Select and as part of the program it is free today and tomorrow. It's currently #392 in the Kindle Store. That's 392 out of 4 million! Amazing. This would NEVER have happened without your beautiful eye-catching cover! I thank you and cannot wait to see what you do with my next cover."

"I've written six books and have dealt with four of the best cover designers in the business. I went to Derek after such experiences with other designers. We worked together, switching elements of the covers around until we arrived at what I consider to be the best cover made for any of my books. And for about half the price of some of my other covers. For my next novel, I will definitely hire Derek again."

"Derek is in the top 1% of the world's cover designers. His work is as good as NYT bestseller covers — often better. He pays significant attention to your market and your goals. He CARES about YOUR book."

"I just wanted to tell you again how much I love this cover. It strikes the perfect cord with me, plus it's just eye catching and stunning. Much better than the first two traditionally pubbed books, IMO. And the website is perfect and exactly what I needed. Feeling incredibly blessed - thank you again for everything."

★★★★★
"I wanted to thank you for creating two outstanding book covers for me. Both books are under review by a major book publisher and they have commented on the quality of the cover. Thank you very much for your hard work, diligence, quick response, and creativity! You are the best of the best!"

"How can I express my absolute gratitude for your care and concern through every stage of this project? The subject matter of the book is of course, so personal and delicate, that it was difficult for me to trust it with anyone, yet it was beyond my scope to take it to the level it needed to be. I put my trust in you and you went above and beyond my dreams. I will not forget this."

"I open your emails and download your covers. I call her in and sit her down at the computer, then pull up the first cover. She immediately throws her hands to her mouth, stares at the screen as I scroll quickly though each cover, looks at me, looks back at the screen and says through her fingers: "Oh, my God! It's Emily." She then bursts into tears (of joy, I should add.) You have created exactly what I was hoping for."

★★★★★
"I asked Derek if I could write a review for him—that's how highly I think of him! He created a beautiful cover for my first book, but did so much more. He helped me conceive the cover, took cover changes like a champ, and never gave up. He was incredibly patient, easy to work with, and tirelessly answered questions or helped me problem-solve months after he was technically "finished"."

"Derek did an incredible job on the book cover for Shackleton's Folly. It is a story of epic proportions and his book cover had to encompass this challenge. Not only did he meet it, Derek exceeded my expectations. I STRONGLY recommend Creativindie Covers to EVERYONE!"

★★★★★
"If I had to choose one word to describe Derek, it would be patient. Legacy of the Highlands is the first of my contemporary romantic suspense trilogy and I knew Derek could come up with designs for the next two that would make it clear that these books are a series — and he did. I'm a happy writer."

Derek has an uncanny and remarkable way of taking my ideas to the next level and producing a book cover that grabs the reader's attention and drags them in."

"My paperback is out, and I've been so proud to reveal it to people in person. I always worried that if I self published, the print version would come out looking like the junk people sold out of car trunks ten years ago. Everyone comments on and loves the cover. I love it!"

"I will never forget opening the concept work for my book cover the first time. I burst out laughing. Not because it was funny, it was the sheer joy of seeing the perfect conceptualization of the suggestions I'd sent in email. I knew it was right the moment I saw it."

"I was a complete novice in the field of self publishing — Derek was aware of this and was more than willing to offer advice and guidance on the back of his own experience. I would most certainly work with Derek again."

— OUR PROMISE TO YOU

Two guarantees.
Zero risk.

We're not a freelancer who'll vanish after delivery. We're an 11-year-old studio with a reputation to protect — and we put that on paper in two ways.

100% MONEY BACK
100% Money-Back
If you don't see where we're headed after a few rounds of feedback — no hard feelings. Cancel and we'll refund every dollar. We'd rather get it right than keep your money.
365-DAY 1 YR WARRANTY
365-Day Excellence Warranty
If your book isn't selling within a year of cover delivery, we'll redesign it at no charge. We stand behind our work for a full year — because we believe the cover should sell the book.
— THE FINE PRINT

Honest
answers.

The questions we get most. Anything missing? Just ask.

How long does a cover take? +
You'll receive your first samples within 10 days of your order. Most projects close inside 2–3 weeks once the revision rounds tighten up. Need it faster? We offer rush turnaround for an additional fee.
What if I don't like any of the samples? +
Tell us why and we'll keep going — we don't quit. But if after enough feedback you still don't see where we're headed, you get every dollar back. No questions, no negotiation. We've issued maybe a dozen refunds in 11 years. We'd rather get it right than keep your money.
What's the 365-day excellence warranty? +
If your book isn't selling within a year of cover delivery, we'll redesign it for you at no charge. As a small studio, we can offer attention and care most agencies can't match — and we stand behind every cover for a full year.
Do I get ebook AND print files? +
Yes — JPG/PNG for ebook (1800×2700, 300dpi), and a CMYK PDF wrap for print on the DaVinci and Warhol packages. Ready for KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, B&N, and the rest.
Why do you charge more than Fiverr designers? +
Because our covers actually sell more books. They convert browsers into buyers, manage reader genre expectations, and remove buyer friction at the click moment. The cover is the single biggest lever in your marketing — pricing it like a logo design is how you end up unpublished a year later.
Can I upgrade my package later? +
Yes. Start with Dali if you're not sure — once you're thrilled with your cover, you can upgrade to DaVinci for the print wrap, or to Warhol for the full launch kit, anytime.
What's your AI policy? +
We use AI tools the way every modern studio does — for moodboards, ideation, asset generation, and rapid iteration. But every cover is composed, typeset, and finished by a human designer with publishing experience. You're not getting a Midjourney render. You're getting craft.
Do you own the rights to my cover? +
No — you do. Full commercial rights transfer to you on final delivery. Print as many copies as you want, in any format, forever. We just ask permission to feature it in our portfolio.
I have a series. Can you do consistent branding? +
Yes — and it's one of our specialties. We'll design book one with the full series in mind, then carry the typography, palette, and composition system through every subsequent release. Discount for 3+ books in a series.
