Custom Cover Questionnaire

The answers on your Custom Cover Questionnaire will guide me throughout the design process, and it’s the first step to getting your cover underway. Please watch the short 1 minute video below to learn what to expect and how to fill out your questionnaire. 

I’ve updated the form since creating the video below. Please scroll down to find the form. 

The Swoonies Custom Cover Questionnaire
The following form gathers all the information I need from you throughout the cover design process. The intention is to reduce how often you need to provide me with information, making the process more fluid for both of us.

There may be some questions that you're not able to answer just yet. Feel free to skip those. You can always update the form later.

Please do your best to fill it in as completely as possible.

IMPORTANT: Please note that I am dyslexic. Be sure to proofread any text that will appear on your book and write it exactly how you'd like it displayed. I will copy and paste it onto your cover and may not catch errors on my own.
