Cover Design Services
Your cover is the single most important piece of marketing your book will ever have. It is the first thing a reader notices when scrolling through search results, browsing a bookstore page, or glancing at a social media post. A weak cover costs you sales before a single word of your book gets read. A strong cover stops readers in their tracks and makes them want to know more.
Carolina House Publishing offers affordable cover design options that give your book a professional, polished look without draining your budget. Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, we have a solution that fits your genre and your goals.

Our Cover Design Options
We offer two primary cover design paths depending on your needs and your vision for the finished product.
AI Assisted Cover Design: $99
Our AI Assisted Cover Design gives you access to a library of category specific visual styles created with the latest design technology. You choose a direction that fits your genre, and we customize it with your title, author name, and any additional text. This option is ideal for fiction authors looking for eye catching imagery that stands out in a crowded marketplace, and for nonfiction authors who want a sharp, modern look at an affordable price. At $99, this is one of the most budget friendly professional cover options available anywhere in the industry.
Graphic Artist Cover Design: $500
Our Graphic Artist Cover Design connects you with a professional designer who builds your cover from scratch. This is a fully custom process where the artist works with you to create a one of a kind cover tailored to your book, your genre, and your audience. This option is perfect for authors who want complete creative control and a cover that stands apart from everything else on the shelf.
Both options deliver files ready for upload to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, and other major publishing platforms. If your project calls for something outside the scope of these two packages, we are happy to provide a custom quote.
Signed Carolina House Authors receive a 25% discount on all cover design services, bringing the AI Assisted option down to just $74.25 and the Graphic Artist option to $375.
Fiction Cover Examples
Take a look at some of the fiction covers we have designed for our authors. From thrillers and mysteries to romance and science fiction, every cover is built to capture the feel of the story and grab a reader’s attention at first glance.
Nonfiction Cover Examples
Our nonfiction covers are designed to communicate authority, clarity, and professionalism. Whether the book is about business strategy, personal development, health, or any other topic, the cover sets the tone for everything inside.
What You Receive
Every cover design order includes a high resolution front cover file ready for digital publishing, a full wraparound cover file for print editions (including spine and back cover), and files formatted to meet the upload requirements of Amazon KDP and other major platforms. You will also receive a round of revisions to make sure the final product is exactly what you want before it goes live.
Our Authors in our published author program receive free upload service to our own Amazon KDP, and Print Book systems. There is no need to fight with any technical issues. We handle it all for you.
