Professional Book Cover Design for a Single Title

The Standard Book Cover Design service from TMM Publishing provides a professionally designed book cover created with publishing standards, genre awareness, and market positioning in mind. Our process begins with guided discovery and a collaborative book cover diagnostic to ensure the final cover is intentional, competitive, and aligned with both the market and the author’s vision.

This service is ideal for authors who value strategic input, professional discernment, and a design process that balances reader expectations with authentic representation.

Our Process

Before any design work begins, authors participate in a Book Cover Discovery Call followed by a Book Cover Diagnostic process. During this phase, we gather insight into the author’s preferences, visual instincts, and comparable covers while also evaluating genre standards and market expectations.

This collaborative diagnostic allows us to understand:

• What the author is drawn to visually

• What resonates or does not resonate

• How the book should be positioned alongside comparable titles

Final design decisions are guided by professional publishing standards and market alignment, not personal preference alone.
