Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions outline the working relationship between you (the Client) and me (the Designer) for book cover and/or interior layout services. By working with me, you agree to the following terms:

​

GENERAL

1. The initial consultation (for either cover or layout) is free. This is a space to discuss your ideas, goals, and vision for your book.

2. A 35% non-refundable deposit is required before any design work can begin. This secures your place in the schedule and covers early-stage work.

3. Final files will be delivered once the remaining balance is paid in full.

​

INTERIOR LAYOUT/TYPESETTING

1. Inculded is a free consultation to discuss your book’s theme, look and feel, and reader experience.

2. Three free layout samples (each sample showing 3 pages from your manuscript).

3. Two rounds of revisions included — this covers small changes like font, line spacing, alignment, etc.

A complete layout overhaul after initial approval will incur an additional fee. It’s highly recommended that your manuscript is in its final, fully proofread and edited state before layout begins. Any changes to the manuscript after layout is complete (such as rewording, adding/removing content) will require the layout to be adjusted accordingly, and will incur extra charges.

​

BOOK COVER DESIGNS

1. Included is a free consultation to discuss your cover vision, genre style, tone, and target audience.

2. I will provide a mood board and initial sketch/concept after our consultation.

3. Two rounds of revisions are included for fine-tuning the design.

​

A 35% non-refundable deposit is required before any design work begins.

Additional charges may apply if:

• You request the use of a licensed stock image or premium font that requires purchase.

• You request major changes after the concept is approved (e.g., a complete redesign).

​​

PRINTING DISCLAIMER
While I prepare files that are print-ready and meet industry standards, I am not liable for issues caused by third-party printers, including: Color discrepancies, trimming errors, paper quality or finish. It is highly recommended that you request a test print or proof copy from your printer before doing a full run. If any issues are identified and are clearly due to the design files, I will gladly work with you to resolve them at no extra cost. However, it is the author’s responsibility to conduct quality checks on all physical proofs.
