AUTHOR SERVICES – PUBLICISING YOUR BOOK
Publishing a book is about so much more than getting the words down on the page.
Of course, that is the most important part. But you also need to get people to read those words.
This is where I can help.
MAPS
FROM $200
A good map can add so much to your fantasy or science fiction book. It won’t save you from having to build worlds, but it will help you share your creation with your readers once you’ve done all the hard work.

3D MOCKUP
$15
If you already have a cover and you want to see it in 3D, or if you want additional 3D mockups over and above the one included in your cover package (perhaps in different orientations), then why not order some more mockups?
Choose ebook or paperback mockups (or both). You receive two PNG files: one on white and one on a transparency.
SOCIAL MEDIA BANNERS
$25
Social media loves images. But book covers tend to be the wrong size for a Facebook or Twitter banner. Never fear. I can easily convert your book cover artwork into an image that will fit a Facebook page or your Twitter profile.
That way, your book cover artwork is front and centre whenever a potential customer visits your page.

CAN I ASK SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE THESE FOR MY BOOK?
While I prefer to help you in all aspects of publicising your book cover, I understand that sometimes you will want to ask another person to create some of these materials. Perhaps you have brought in someone to help with your marketing and they will want to create your social media banners for you.
As long as you are not changing the cover design itself or misrepresenting it in any way, then I am happy for you to commission other designers to create marketing materials based around my book cover design.
ARE THERE THINGS I CANNOT DO?
There are some restrictions on what you can do. The big one is that – unless we have agreed otherwise and this is stated in our written agreement – you are not allowed to make items to sell using the cover artwork. This could include prints of the cover artwork or t-shirts that feature the cover design. If you want to create merchandise using the cover artwork then please get in touch and we can look at whether we can extend your licence to include this.
If you are unsure about what is or isn’t allowed then please check your Acceptance of Commission document, have a read of my FAQs, or simply drop me an email at jon@jonstubbington.com and I will be happy to help.
Why are prices shown in US Dollars?
Even though I am based in the UK, many of my customers come from the US and other locations around the world. In order to help the writing community easily compare the costs of my services with other cover designers out there, I display my prices in US Dollars.
If you are based in the UK and would like a quote in Pounds then please let me know and I will provide you with the equivalent price in Pounds.
