A cover that makes a reader pick it up.
Your cover is the first page most readers ever see. Our design team builds original concepts around your book's genre and voice — not a template pulled off a shelf — for print and ebook alike.
Everything a cover needs, nothing it doesn't
Every Atlas Book Publishing cover is built from scratch for the book in front of us.
Original Concepts
Custom illustration, photography direction, or typography-led design — built around your book, not a stock template.
Print & Ebook Files
Full print-ready wraps with spine and back cover copy layout, plus optimized thumbnails for every ebook store.
Typesetting Match
Cover typography carried through to your interior title pages and chapter headers, so the whole book feels considered.
Genre-Aware Design
We study your comp titles and shelf category so your cover reads correctly to readers browsing in your genre.
A cover is the first thing a reader judges
Every design decision comes back to the moment someone picks your book up — in a store, a library, or scrolling a thumbnail.
From brief to final files, in four stops
The same clear process for every cover, so you always know what's next.

"I sent them three comp titles and a mood board of things I didn't like. What came back looked nothing like a template — it looked like my book."Sam Okafor, author of Wayfinder
