Book cover design
Harmony Publishing designs book covers for authors in Nigeria and across Africa: a front cover that suits your genre, and a full wrap for print with spine and back cover, set up for paperback, hardcover and eBook. You approve the cover before anything is printed.
Cover design on its own is ₦100,000, and it is included in every self-publishing package.
What is included
- A front cover designed for your genre and readers
- Full wrap for print: front, spine and back cover, sized to your page count and trim
- A flat front cover for the eBook listing
- Your ISBN barcode placed on the back cover (ISBNs are a separate item; see the ISBN page)
- Revisions on the option you choose
How the process works
- 1. Brief. You tell us the title, genre, readers and the covers you like. We ask about the spine text, back-cover copy and author photo.
- 2. Concepts. A designer prepares cover options for you to choose from.
- 3. Revisions. You send changes on the option you choose, and we revise it. Nothing is printed until you approve the cover.
- 4. Print-ready files. You approve the cover, then we set it up for print and for eBook: front cover, spine and back cover, with the ISBN barcode where the book has one.

Questions about cover design
How much does book cover design cost?
Cover design on its own is ₦100,000. Every self-publishing package also includes cover design.
Do I get the spine and back cover too?
Yes. A print cover is a full wrap: front, spine and back. The spine width depends on your page count and paper, so we size it once your interior is final.
Can you work from my own idea or illustration?
Yes. Bring a sketch, a reference cover or an illustration you have the right to use, and the designer builds the cover around it.
Does the cover work for Amazon KDP and print?
Yes. We prepare the print file to the printer's specification and a separate front-cover image for the eBook.
What does a designer need from me?
Title and subtitle exactly as they should appear, author name, back-cover text, any author photo, the trim size and the page count.
