Frequently Asked Questions:
How long does book design take?
Designing a picture book takes about two weeks. Longer works can take up to a month. Novels can take even longer. Often cutomers ask if we can begin design before all the content is finished to speed the process. We cannot. It only leads to errors. Once all the content is ready, we begin design. Sometimes the design process reveals missing pieces of content that then need to be generated but that it not a problem.
Do I get any say in the design?
Absolutely. You will be presented with drafts along the way. Only after receiving your feedback do we proceed.
Can I chose the typeface/font?
Yes. We welcome any input you may have regarding font choices.
I need an illustration for the cover.
Not a problem. We can create the ideal illustration from a description you provide. This is a separate service called
Cover Illustration.

Cover Design
Designing a cover requires so much more than technical skill. A great cover designer manipulates the text and the imagery to excite potential customers of the book. You know how important the cover is to your book, so why risk all your hard work on a blah cover. Trust your book to Dragonpencil and we will add that last spark of live that is a great cover design.
The front cover is the showpiece of a book but the spine and back cover should not be forgotten. Also, if your book has a dustjackets, you must consider the design of the front and back flaps. Not only will our designer make all these parts look professional and modern, but will work with you in creating any content you need to fill those parts. Let's get started!
