Turn-Around Time

Turn-around time for front cover can average around two weeks, sometimes much sooner. Sometimes longer if no deadline or if complicated changes.

Spine Width (No Rush—We Can Do This After Cover Approval)

For us to determine the spine width for your paperback, we must know the final page count. But to know the final page count, your book will have to be formatted. The formatting can be done for free by you within your KDP account which is also free, and they will assist you. Or you can hire an interior formatter, I have a referral.

Three Things I Need to Know

Technically, as the designer of your paperback, I need to know:

1. Trim Size: 6"x 9"? 5.5"x 8.5"? Other?

2. Final formatted page count? (No rush, this can come after cover design.)

3. Paper color: Cream or white? Cream paper is slightly thicker, and affects the spine width. Usually they say cream for fiction and white for nonfiction, but it's entirely up to you.
