Professional book cover design for Australian self-publishers and independent authors. Print-ready files for KDP, IngramSpark and local printers. Led by Jen Clark, 25+ years experience.
Many authors waste time with designers who deliver files that fail Australian printer checks or covers that miss local genre expectations. JCD brings 25+ years of design experience and deep knowledge of Australian print specifications, platform requirements, and reader preferences to every book cover project.
We deliver PDF/X-1a files with correct bleed, trim, spine calculations, and CMYK colour profiles. Every file is checked against Australian printer specifications before handover.
Why it matters:
Your printer accepts files first time. You avoid costly reprints and delays.
We test every cover at 100-pixel thumbnail size before final approval. Typography, contrast, and layout are optimised for Booktopia, Amazon AU, and Dymocks listings.
Why it matters:
Your cover remains legible and compelling at small sizes. You increase click-through rates.
Jen Clark studies Australian genre trends and applies visual language that resonates with local readers. We avoid generic stock templates and build covers tailored to your target audience.
Why it matters:
Your book signals the right genre immediately. Readers trust your book and buy.
We provide written image and font licences with every project. When using Indigenous motifs or Australian cultural elements, we follow proper clearance protocols and document permissions.
Why it matters:
You own clear rights for Australian distribution. You avoid copyright claims and cultural missteps.
We quote a fixed price upfront. You receive a detailed list of deliverables, including print files, ebook covers, marketing images, and source files. No hidden fees. No scope creep.
Why it matters:
You control your budget from day one. You know exactly what you receive and when.
