Custom Cover Design

When you publish a book with AuthorHouse, our design team will work with you—incorporating your photos, graphics, sketches and ideas—to create a unique book cover that exceeds your expectations and beautifully represents your book's contents.

Cover Design Guidelines

Front Cover

When we design the book's front cover, we will include the book's title, subtitle (if any), author name(s), and any additional marketing copy (if applicable), along with all graphics needed to create the cover artwork.

If you have ideas and sample graphics or even complete cover designs that you would like our design team to use or incorporate, please include these with your submission.

Cover graphics that you submit to us must meet the following requirements:

  • TIFF (.tif) file format
  • CMYK colorspace
  • 300-dpi resolution
  • Match the dimension of the final trim size, plus an 1/8" bleed on the top, right and bottom sides (i.e., a cover for a 6" x 9" book would need to be submitted at 6.125" x 9.25")
  • Copyright permission from the creator (artist, photographer, etc.) to use the work on your book cover
  • Sample graphics and other illustrations that will only be used as ideas or guidelines for the design team can be submitted in any format.
