Full Wrap Cover Reveal of The Secret Of Spruce Knoll

I'm pleased to reveal the full wrap of the paperback for Heather McCorkle's The Secret Of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel, releasing from Compass Press this December. The hardback full wrap will look slightly different with the flap artwork, but you'll have to pick up the book to see that!

Cover Reveal~The Bridge by Kay Bratt

It was CP Design's pleasure to work with renowned author Kay Bratt on the cover of her latest story. Kay's memoir, Silent Tears, about her time in China, sold so well that Amazon picked her up for their Encore program and then she went on to be picked up by Mariner books. Here is the cover by CP Design for her story The Bridge:

Cover Reveal for The Secret of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel

CP Design is excited to reveal the front cover for Heather McCorkle's special edition of The Secret of Spruce Knoll: A Channeler Novel. This will be Compass Press's first title.

What makes this edition special isn't only the fact that it's Compass Press's first title. In honor of the novel's premise, a portion of the proceeds from every sale of this special edition will go to Heather's favorite charity that specializes in protecting endangered species. Our goal is to help her raise $10,000 for the charity by December 12th of 2012. If you'd like to help her reach her goal, you can pre-order a signed copy from her site. The novel is expected to release late November and will be shipped in plenty of time for the holidays.

Full Wrap Indiana Fire Cover Reveal

The author of Indiana Fire, Neisa Hutson, has graciously agreed to allow me to post the full wrap of her cover. We couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out and I can hardly wait to see it in print and hold it in my hands! It has a subtle affect on the words and in the background that looks like fire but doesn't quite show up on my low res site screen. This is one that will have to be held to be fully appreciated.

Cover For Neisa Hutson

I'm very pleased to announce the creation and final approval of CP Design's first cover. It is for a young adult dystopian novel by Neisa Hutson titled, Indiana Fire. It is scheduled to be released this December in both eBook and paperback formats. You can find out more about Neisa and Indiana fire here.

Giving Your Novel That Edge

In an ocean of self-published novels it can extremely difficult to stand out and get noticed in a good way. First and foremost you must have a highly polished book that has been under the magnifying glass of a good, experienced freelance editor. Once you've done that the next logical step is to have a cover designed that will make people click on it and want to read it. It's easy to be tempted by the free cover designs offered on self-publishing sites but unfortunately, you almost always get what you pay for when it comes to those.

Design templates are never used by CP Design, ensuring that you will end up with a cover that is unique to you and your novel. Nothing is worse than showing up to the party wearing the same outfit as the competition and with design templates that's often what happens. Our designer will work with you to personally choose and alter the images that best suit you and your novel to represent and present it in a way that draws the right kind of attention.

CP Design was born of one author's search for a fantastic cover designer. It begins with the authors idea, grows with a excellent photos choices, and blossoms with the designer and author's collaboration. With more and more authors turning to self-publishing it's more important than ever to give your book that extra edge.

As CP Design is building their portfolio clients will be given 20% discount on all services. For your discount to go the Design Prices page, scroll down, and click on the link to contact the designer.

Coming Soon

CP Design will be offering cover design work, bookmarks, and other promotional material design for independent authors who are in search of a professional look that will help them rise above the rest.
