COVERS CREATED 

BY EMRYS PUMPKIN PRESS

Do you have an ebook and need a paperback full-cover wrap?
We can do that for you!

Our ebook or paperback covers are an affordable option for indie authors. Instead of using cover creator to add text to your ebook covers or full-cover wraps, Emrys Pumpkin Press will add fonts to your images, to make stunning spreads, without the boxy layouts and misplaced fonts from outdated templates.

Emrys Pumpkin Press is not a graphic artist but can make minor adjustments, in color and light, to stock photos by using photo-editing software.

SERVICES!

WE DO EBOOKS!

The most affordable and time savvy way would be to provide a stock photo yourself. Keep in mind that we are not a graphic artist. The image should be pretty close to the final product for us to apply fonts. Minor adjustments can be made, as mentioned above. $15-$20

WE DO FULL-COVER WRAPS!
If you have an ebook cover and would like a full-cover wrap, please provide the following information below. Note: Fonts should be at least .5 inches from the edges to be sure fonts are in the safe zone. $15-$20

I've done several cover wraps for Bree Livingston, Britney Mills, and Saralee Rhoads. (Note--I did not make the ebook cover, just the wrap.)

The full covers below were created from premade ebook covers. My Vampire is by Sanja Gombar and Billionaire Rock Star Romance is by Victorine Lieske. Ebook covers provided by the authors.

WE DO COVER MAKEOVERS!
If you used a CreateSpace Cover Creator template and would like to update your look, please provide the following information below. $15 for ebook. $30 for full cover (ebook included)

The cover below shows how the same image can be used to make a full cover. (Cover image provided by author) The left is from a template. The right is the cover makeover. Email Emrys for yours today! lisacrector@gmail.com. Note the updated title and series title as well. (We makeover interior formatting too! Be sure to send Emrys an email.)

PAYMENT
The author will be billed through PayPal.
Copies will be provided for approval before the final version is sent.
100% of payment is expected before the author receives the finalized cover.

Information about selecting your cover photos

I generally recommend purchasing photos from a paid stock photo website. I like Shutterstock, iStock, or Bigstock. You can use free photo stock sites such as Pixabay. Read more about the pros and cons here. http://neo-stock.com/blog/the-indie-authors-guide-to-stock-photography

Shutterstock images (and other paid stock photo sites) generally come with a model release. Double check to be certain! And purchase them with the correct license for your purpose.

Public Domain Images—What is allowed and what is not?

What does identifiable people or persons mean?

It means that their faces are visible (either frontal or in profile) so that you can recognize them. This is the same for tattoos, body piercings, or birthmarks on other parts of the body that allow you to identify a person. If you want to use images of people whose faces are fully visible, you need a model release, whether they are anonymous people in the streets or paid models. You should NOT use images of people unless you have their written permission. That is clearly spelled out in the FAQ.

Final Note

It is the responsibility of the end user, usually meaning, the author or person purchasing the cover, to make sure images don’t violate copyrights, property rights, privacy rights, trademarks, etc.
