JOB OVERVIEW

I am self-publishing a business book on leadership and I am looking for one designer to handle the whole cover package.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: Dialogue of Work - The Irreplaceable Art of Human Leadership in an AI World
Non-fiction, business / leadership, about 300 pages
Trim size 6" x 9", cream paper, published through Amazon KDP
Tone: serious but warm, narrative business writing. Not corporate stock photography.

WHAT I NEED
1. Ebook cover (Kindle)
2. Paperback full wrap - front, spine, back - built on the KDP template for the final page count
3. Hardcover full wrap (case laminate) - built on the KDP template
4. Audiobook square cover, 3000 x 3000 px

DELIVERABLES
- Print-ready PDF, 300 dpi, correct bleed and spine width for each format
- Editable source files (InDesign, Photoshop or Illustrator)
- Full transfer of rights to the final artwork, plus the names and licences of any fonts or images used
- Please tell me up front if any part of the artwork is AI-generated

BUDGET
USD ---------- for the complete package (all four formats), as a fixed price.

HOW I WILL CHOOSE
I will start with a small paid concept task - USD 20 for one front-cover concept based on a short brief - and then award the full package to the designer whose direction fits the book best.

WHEN YOU APPLY, PLEASE SEND
- A link to your portfolio showing at least 4 non-fiction covers (business, leadership, science or memoir)
- Whether you have built KDP paperback and hardcover wraps before
- Your price for the full package and your turnaround time
- Your typical revision rounds

Thank you - I read every application.
