* What are Expenses? Seriously, it's nothing sinister, just the usual costs that go along with designing a cover. Expenses include stock photographic images, specialty fonts, postage, travel, payment fees (such as PayPal), rush charges, return check fees, fees for illustrations, photography or significant editing may also apply. Usually these items are well under $50.00 and can be as little as just a few dollars. You should also note that the above estimates do not include printing.

Your project can be turned around in a matter of a few days if my schedule allows, and there is a need, but it's best not to rush things if you don't have to. I usually schedule new projects a few weeks in advance so I can be sure to set aside the necessary time for your book. Standard turnaround, barring any extensive changes, is 10-15 business days. Rush charges of an additional 50% will be added to the base fee for projects requiring completion in one week (7 days or less).
