What payment method do you accept?
For international payments, I use bank transfer and the Stripe system, which makes it possible to pay by card, PayPal, and others. For customised covers or large orders, it is possible to request payment in instalments. As I am based in the European Community, please note that prices will be communicated in Euros.
Is there a discount for those who need multiple covers for a series?
Absolutely! Discounts are available proportional to the number of covers requested. Contact me to find out more.
How many copies of my book can I sell/distribute?
My covers, full wraps or dust jackets do not have a maximum number of printable/sellable copies! I only use fonts or elements with an unlimited commercial licence.
What do I need to create a cover, full wrap/dust jacket? (Both pre-made and customised)
To make the ebook cover, you need the exact dimensions you want to use.
For the printed version, whether full wrap or dust jacket, you need to have finished the book and have the exact number of pages. With that you can get the cover dimensions from your printing house. You cannot make a design without having the exact number of pages.
Can I buy a pre-made cover only on Etsy?
You can choose how you want to buy. We do not have a proper ecommerce, but by contacting me via email you can buy the cover premade, I will explain there how to complete the purchase via bank transfer or Stripe link. The price on Etsy is slightly higher due to the platform fees.
What can I change about the pre-packaged cover?
They are always customizable: title, author name, and other texts can be included in the design. You can also request a mood change or some colours on the cover. However, due to the very nature of the service, it is not possible to request major changes. If you have any questions, contact me!
How long will it take to receive my cover?
Generally in a few days, after 7 days you will have the final designs. Please note that on weekends or in the summer the process may be slightly slower. There are also very busy periods, such as Christmas, in which the workflow, to guarantee quality work, may be delayed. We will always keep you informed of the situation!
There is a deposit, how much is it?
Before starting work, the total balance of the project or a deposit corresponding to 30% of the total is required. For the waiting list, a payment of €50 will be required to confirm your spot, which will then be deducted from the final balance. This decision was taken to safeguard my work.
I need to make the full wrap/dust jacket of my book, but I already have the front cover
Even if we didn't develop the main design, I can help you with the additional components you need. However, you must have the permission of the original author before you can continue. The material must be of high quality or I cannot guarantee a good result.
I already have an illustration, can you work on the cover with my image?
YES! I will just need a license certificate for the image, or direct authorization from the artist.
Do you also do internal layout?
Yes, at the moment it is a service that I only provide on request and is not included in the main packages. Write to me so you can find out the costs and specifications!
Do you create covers for special editions?
Absolutely, we adore making them! The informations are the same as for other custom covers.
Do I Need to Credit ArtistryTales for Book Cover?
While not mandatory, we greatly appreciate any credit given to ArtistryTales for the premade book cover design. Crediting our shop helps support our work and allows us to reach more authors.
Do you use AI in your book covers?
I do not use anymore AI in any form!
All available covers and custom ones are made entirely by hand. This decision forced me to increase the prices a bit, but it allows us to personalize custom covers almost completely and offer greater flexibility in premade ones. Please check "Content Agreement, Commercial Rights, Software, etc." for more information.
