Wanderlust Ink & Tome L.L.C FAQs

Everything you need to know about my process and covers is right here. I’ll discuss premades and custom work. Policies are included with each description.

PREMADE COVERS: So you’ve chosen out a premade created by yours truly? This is what will happen next.

  • Click the premade for purchase in the shop area.

  • Include your ideas for changes (title, tagline, your pen name)

  • Please make sure the premade you plan to purchase represents your story, as closely as possible.

  • Due to the nature of premades ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

  • REASONABLE tweaks to the text (placement, size, color, etc.) will be made to your satisfaction.

  • Premades are sold as is if you’re looking for something more customized I offer custom premades and custom covers.

CUSTOM COVERS:

  • Please fill out the contact form and tell me about the custom cover you’d like me to create for you. Be very specific with your vision for your cover & please pay the deposit fee up front.

  • I allow 3 PRE-COMPLETION editing rounds for design changes/ adjustments and 1 POST-COMPLETION round.

  • Please do NOT use any mock-ups of the rejected revisions as a base for another graphic artist to build upon. This is intellectual property theft. Once a design has your complete approval, I will send the cover to you. This will happen after any remaining balance is paid in full.

  • Any revision rounds over the allowed 4( fourth being finalization) will incur an additional cost of $30-up for EACH change ( also dependent on the work- digital repainting will incur hourly fees).

  • Initial Deposit for New Clients is $50.00 dollars

FULL WRAPS:

  • I will create a full wrap for your cover based off the template of the POD ( Print on Demand) service you use.

  • I do not provide blank/half blank wraps to clients this is protect my copyrighted artwork.

  • Information I need to know. Book size ( 6x9 for example), number of pages, book blurb/ book reviews, and ISBN image so I can place it on the back of your wrap. Cover templates can be sent to my email or alternatively I can get template but for Ingram I suggest doing it on your end so it matches ISBN if you are using bowker for isbn codes.

  • Author pic and/or printing press logos can also be placed on full wraps. Please send those images to me in email.

  • Will full wraps I allow two pre-completion rounds. Any work done after the 3rd and final round will incur an additional cost of $30-up for EACH change.

Confidentiality Clause:

  • All drafts are to be kept between Wanderlust Ink & Tome and Client. DO NOT share drafts of files with others. I have the right to refuse further service for this break in trust without refund of initial deposit. This is to protect the integrity of my copyrighted artwork( I have had art stolen this way in the past).

Other Pertinent Information:

PAYMENT:

  • Client agrees to pay upfront before work begins on the project. I will not release finished files to the client or other parties until I have received payment in full.

  • I retain all right to discontinue, withhold, or suspend services for any account should payments not be made in a timely manner/ as discussed/ agreed upon.

  • There is a minimum of $50 deposit for custom covers which should be paid immediately when a service is booked with me- Wanderlust Ink & Tome LLC.

  • Please include a start date/ time for when you need me to work on your cover. Or alternatively let me know in the message when you need the cover by.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

For custom covers, the client or Wanderlust Ink & Tome may cancel this agreement at any time through written notice to the other party. If either client or I, Alexis-Wanderlust Ink & Tome L.L.C cancel a project before the design process starts, neither the client nor Wanderlust Ink is under further obligation to the other. And the contract will be considered null and void. All payments except the possible $50 deposit shall be refunded by Wanderlust Ink within seven (7) business days.

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PURCHASED COVERS (PREMADE or CUSTOM):I do NOT provide layered PSD DUE TO stock and licensing legalities. I do NOT provide blank covers for clients to add text themselves this includes full wraps as well ( half blank like spine or back of book) This is to protect the quality and integrity of my artwork. I will allow blank artwork to be used as a background for advertising with an agreement set up between the author and me. I do NOT allow my premade OR custom covers to be resold to another author or entity. That violates stock licensing rules. I, as the artist, retain copyright to all of my designs, and license designs to be used by a single client.

ATTRIBUTION/CREDIT NOTE: I would appreciate cover artist credit when you publish your book if possible. Please credit me in the appropriate location in your eBook or paperback as Wanderlust Ink & Tome thank you.

BOOK COVER EVENT POLICIES:

All sales are final. There is a 24 hour hold on premade covers sold in book cover events. If a client does not communicate with me and pay invoice within that 24 hour time span the hold on the cover is null/void and the premade will be listed in my shop for sale. NO EXCEPTIONS!
