How about relaxing with a cup of coffee and your favorite romance. Your favorite romance cover, that is. Dream a little for your story!
So, (years ago) I compiled a list of designers who offer pre-made covers (most in the under $50 range) and I moved this "research" to a blog post. I had a great time browsing the covers and I hope you do too! Oh, and most, if not all, of these designers will work with you for the customized look, if that is the route you want to take now or later.
Note: I do apologize in advance if the links get out of date before I've had a chance to update this page.
Please keep in mind these are only suggestions for you to follow up on and make your own decision. I have not been paid to recommend anyone. Also note that some vendors/publishers require the cover to be a different size (i.e. larger) than what some designers provide.
Cheeky Covers - Ebook covers at cheeky prices -- Carrie Spencer has done many of my covers. This one is for my paranormal romance Ghost of a Promise.
Amazing, right? I can't imagine why you'd want to look further now, but I'll keep the list below intact!
Sheri L. McGathy Pre-made Covers - gorgeous! Many historical and fantasy covers, as well as others.
RomanceNovelCovers.com by cover model Jimmy Thomas. You need to do a login registration for this one.
Amanda C. Davis Premade Book Covers - most at $35.
Fantasia Frog Designs
Book Graphics - both fiction and non-fiction so not all romance.
http://ebookindiecovers.com/pre-made-covers-fiction/premade-ebook-covers-romance/
TellTale Books - classy and romantic! These beautiful covers are a new favorite!
Pre-Made Covers - Karri Klawiter
The Book Cover Designer - a large selection and range of prices from many different designers
AM Design Studios - very nice! Many with a fantasy element.
Or also of interest, try:
Period Images - awesome book cover stock and images
Novelstock.com
Digital Fantasy Backgrounds

So that's it, for now. Feel free to leave a comment if there is a pre-made cover designer (for mostly romances) you'd like to add.

Wow, that's a great list -- thanks for doing all the research! And thanks for including my ebook. I'm so happy with the cover Carrie did for me, so I love to see it everywhere. LOL
ReplyDeleteI like that there are so many opportunities for writers and our stories right now. I've definitely been feeling more motivated lately. :) But now I'm feeling motivated to check out some of these other covers. LOL
Donna, there's definitely no harm in looking! LOL This wasn't a very difficult research assignment. :)
ReplyDeleteThe opportunites for writers sometime surprise me because so much changes when I'm not looking. Then, I'm like, when did that happen? LOL I'm sure a lot of these cover designs weren't out there a few years ago. It's kind of exciting isn't it? :)
Hi! Got my covers made by this lady. She just put up a new website, Nice covers and prices good:
