The best cover for your book is not always the one you would hang on your wall. Readers recognize genres by visual cues: the bold type on a thriller, the color palette of a cozy mystery, the illustrated style common on romantic comedies, the clean layout of business books. A cover that ignores those cues can confuse the very readers you want. Our designers start every project by looking at current bestsellers in your category, then design a cover that fits the genre while still standing apart from it.
We design both photographic and illustrated covers, using licensed stock imagery, custom illustration, or your own photos, depending on the book and the budget.
You get the editors, designers, and publishing know-how of a traditional house, but your book stays under your name and your control. You decide on the cover, the price, and where it sells.
Every project starts with a detailed consultation about your story, your readers and your goals. We get to know the book properly before writing, editing, or design begins, so the finished work reflects what you set out to say.
We do not take a share of your sales, and we never ask for your copyright or publishing rights. Every platform account is set up in your name, and the earnings go straight to you.
You see the cost of each service before work starts. You approve every file before anything is published, and you always know what stage your book is at.
A dedicated project manager keeps your schedule on track and replies when you have a question. If something on our side runs late, you hear it from us first.
We publish your book on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, and Kobo. We also set it up with IngramSpark, so bookstores and libraries in many countries can order copies.
We can help build your author brand and plan your launch. That covers social media, Amazon ads, A+ Content, author pages, and press features, all aimed at the readers most likely to buy your book.
Covers involve licensing, printer specifications, and plenty of judgment calls. These are the commitments we make on each one.
Every photo, font, and illustration is licensed for commercial book use.

Readers really do judge books by their covers, at least long enough to decide whether to click. The American Book Services designs covers that give the right readers a reason to look closer. Share a few details about your book and your genre, and our designer will begin with market research.
Start ProjectAfter we discuss your book, our designer presents initial concepts that explore different directions. You choose one to develop, and we refine it with you through rounds of revision. Once you approve the final design, you receive high resolution files for print and eBook, plus versions sized for social media and ads. All imagery is properly licensed for commercial use on your book.

For print editions, we design the complete wrap: front cover, spine, and back cover, with your blurb, author photo, and space for the barcode. Spine width depends on your final page count and paper choice, so we build the wrap to the exact template from your printer, whether that is Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or Barnes & Noble Press. If you are writing a series, we create a consistent design system with matching typography and layout, so every book is recognizably part of the set.

Our writers, editors, proofreaders, and designers have worked on novels, memoirs, nonfiction, children’s books, business titles, and academic writing. Every project is different, and we treat it that way, matching each book with people who know its genre and its readers. On the visual side, our illustrators and cover designers make sure each book looks as good as it reads, in print and online. Take a look at some of the books we have worked on.
Most authors end up juggling an editor, a designer, and a publisher, each with their own timeline. At The American Book Services, one team handles it all. That covers writing support, editing, proofreading, covers, illustrations, formatting, publishing, and promotion. You pick what your book needs and skip what it does not. You approve every step; your book is published under your name, and every royalty it earns goes straight to you.
Let’s Get Started
Before contacting us you might want to check whether your question is one of our FAQs.
At The American Book Services, we offer a complete range of writing and editing services, including book writing, ghostwriting, fiction writing, developmental editing, line editing, copyediting, and proofreading. Our writers and editors work closely with you at every stage, from the first outline to the final proofread, so your manuscript is polished, consistent, and ready for publication.
At The American Book Services, our design and illustration services include custom cover design, full print wraps with spine and back cover, interior formatting for print and eBook, and original illustrations such as character art, maps, and graphics. Every design is built to your genre and prepared to the exact specifications of your printer and retailers.
Yes. At The American Book Services, you keep 100% of the rights to your book, including your manuscript, cover, and artwork, and you make the final decisions on content, pricing, and distribution. We do not take any share of your royalties. All earnings are paid by the platforms directly into your own account.
At The American Book Services, timelines depend on the services your book needs. A finished manuscript that only needs editing, design, and publishing setup is completed much faster than a book written from scratch, which typically takes several months. Before any work begins, we give you a clear schedule with a date for every stage.
At The American Book Services, pricing depends on the services you choose, the length of your book, and the level of work involved. We do not force you into fixed packages, so you pay only for what your book actually needs. You receive a detailed written quote before work begins, with no hidden fees.
Yes. At The American Book Services, nothing is published without your approval. You review and sign off on your outline, edits, cover design, and final proofs, and a dedicated project manager keeps you informed and answers your questions throughout the process.
