REAL TALK
Are our customizable premade characters right for you?
They are perfect for…
📚 Romance and rom-com authors who want beautiful, professional art
📚 Authors who value quality
📚 Authors who need a quick turnaround
📚 Authors on a budget
📚 Authors looking to redesign an existing book or series
But just so we’re clear…
These aren’t for you if:
🚫 You need more than 3 (extensive) edits. That’s a sign you’re ready for a full custom project
🚫 Your book is in a genre outside romance or rom-com. Our characters are built with that warm, flirty vibe in mind
Premade character + cover FAQs
Do I really need to pay for a professional cover designer?
Yes, if you want your book to sell. A professional cover doesn’t just look pretty; it signals quality, genre, and professionalism to potential readers in under 3 seconds.
Should I redesign my first book’s cover?
If it’s not attracting the right readers or doesn’t match the tone of your story — absolutely. A fresh, genre-fitting cover can breathe new life into your backlist and increase conversions.
What’s the difference between premade and custom covers?
Premade covers (like ours) are faster and more cost-effective. You get high-quality art that still feels unique — just with fewer edit rounds. Custom covers are ideal if you have a specific vision that goes beyond a base character + light edits.
How many edits can I make?
You can request up to 3 changes per character or up to 6 changes for embracing couples. If you need more customization, we recommend booking a full custom project.
Can I use the character art for things beyond the cover?
Absolutely! Your final illustrations can be used for promo graphics, ads, merch, and more — as long as you follow our usage terms.
How important is book cover design to sales?
In a 2010 reader survey, 79% said a book’s cover plays a decisive role in whether they buy; and in a 2023 U.S. poll, 80% said they’ve avoided a book solely because of its cover.
