Details
- Service Type
- Freelancer, Hybrid
- Genre Specialization
- Romance, Fantasy, Sci Fi, Thriller, Mystery, Non Fiction, Children, Horror
- Budget
- $30
- Turnaround Time
- 5 days
- Revision Policy
- Unlimited revisions on the chosen custom concept; premades get text implementation only
Strengths
- Published pricing on both lines — unusual for a solo designer at this experience level; most require a quote.
- A genuine budget entry point: $30 is at the bottom of the premade market, and the $80 median sits below most exclusive shops.
- Print wrap is $100 flat whichever line you buy from — no surprise conversion quote.
- Unlimited revisions on the chosen custom concept, not a fixed round count.
- Long track record: 20+ years, 15,000+ designs.
Limitations
- No refunds, on either line. "We don't issue refund neither for premade nor for custom designs. All sales are final." Most of the category refunds custom work at least until design begins; this does not.
- No editable source files. "Sorry we don't provide editable version of the design." You get hi-res JPEG plus print-ready PDF — enough to publish, not enough to tweak later or hand to an animator.
- Two conflicting premade delivery times. The premade landing page promises "final files delivered within 48 hours"; the FAQ describes 24–48 hours to collect your text details then 2–3 days to deliver — so budget 3–5 days, not two.
- The advertised premade range is understated. The landing page says "$30 to $150"; 58 covers sell above that, up to $200. Check the price on the product page.
- Custom delivery is 10–15 days, not 7. The widely-quoted 5–7 days is the first-concepts milestone only.
- Generalist positioning: broad coverage rather than depth in one niche, unlike Mariah Sinclair in cozy mystery or Rebecca Frank in fantasy/romantasy.
- Solo capacity: one designer serving both lines — confirm queue length before committing to a launch date.
Paramita Bhattacharjee is a civil engineer turned professional book cover designer with 20+ years in design and 15,000+ completed designs. She is the sole designer, with co-founder Prosenjit Bhattacharya handling brand marketing and business operations. Both lines are explicitly human-crafted: "my covers are 100% human-crafted (no AI)."
Most listings treat her as a mid-tier custom freelancer. She is also one of the larger exclusive premade shops in the category — 1,590 covers live, from $30.
What You Get
Premade covers — $30–$200 (median $80)
- 1,590 designs live, every one in stock and none discounted at time of check.
- Exclusive: copyright transfers to the buyer and the design is never resold. Confirmed structurally — 1,589 of 1,590 products cap the cart at one unit.
- Title, subtitle and author name set for you; hi-res ebook JPEG ready for KDP, Nook and Smashwords.
- Paperback upgrade $100 on any premade — matching spine and back cover.
Custom covers
- Ebook $450: 2–3 original concepts, unlimited revisions on the one you pick, licensed stock included. $200 deposit, balance on approval.
- Ebook + print wrap $550: adds print-ready front/spine/back for your trim size and page count. $250 deposit.
- Ebook + hardback + dust jacket $625: full wrap plus both inside flap layouts.
- Standalone print wrap $100: only orderable against a cover already bought from her — custom or premade.
- Turnaround: first concepts in 5–7 days, full process 10–15 days from agreement.
Add-ons: 3D book cover $20, website banner $60 (extra sizes $20), Facebook cover $60, Twitter header $60, audiobook cover $60, single-sided bookmark $50 / both-sided $75, poster $100, business card $75/$100.
Who It's For
- Authors who may switch tiers mid-launch: the $30 premade and the $450 custom come from the same hand, so a series can start premade and move to custom without a style break.
- Multi-genre authors: 23 premade genre shelves. Deepest are thriller (470), suspense (342), fantasy (331), non-fiction (326), romance (304), drama (257), horror (250) and mystery (236); thinnest are cooking (14), sports (24), fairy tale (30) and children's (35). Shelves overlap, so these do not sum to 1,590.
- No-AI authors on a budget: an explicit no-AI commitment at a $30 entry price is rare in the premade segment.
