BOOK YOUR CUSTOM COVER
The swoonies uses a deadline based booking system
Instead of choosing a timeslot to indicate the period when your cover will be created, you’ll indicate a deadline and your cover will be completed at some point before then. This allows for maximum flexibility and enables me to meet your target deadlines more efficiently. I’m typically fully booked 6-9 months into the future, but you may find the occasional opening, so it’s definitely worth checking.
Book in four easy steps:
- Using the calendar below, scroll ahead to select your deadline.
- Select a time (shown beneath the calendar).
- Enter your full name, email address, and click the Book Me button.
- You’ll automatically be routed to a page to pay your deposit. Make your payment within 24 hours and you’re done!
That’s it! You’re Booked!

In most cases, my clients receive their files 1-2 weeks before their deadlines.

WHen IS YOUR BOOKING WINDOW?
Your Booking Window is the period of time before your chosen deadline when I will likely be doing the bulk of the creative work on your cover. For the most part, you don’t need to be aware of this. But it is helpful to understand what your booking window is so you’re aware of when your second payment is due. This payment brings your deposit up to 50% of the cover and is required to be paid before work begins.
Your booking window opens the first day of the month prior to your chosen deadline. For example, if your deadline is in August 2023, your booking window will open July 1, 2023.
Two weeks before your booking window opens, you’ll receive an automatic email with a payment link to make your second payment. Work will only begin on your cover once payment is received. The work on your cover will be done at any point during the month to two months your deadline, sometimes earlier. Covers are always completed in order of deadline and delivered before the deadline passes.
