Rebecca Frank (Bewitching Book Covers) is a solo book cover designer specializing in Urban Fantasy, Romantasy, Paranormal Romance, Cozy Fantasy, Dark Fantasy, fairytale retellings and sci-fi. Her work has appeared on New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.

## What You Get

Three packages, and the axis is **whether the cover shows people** — not budget:

- **Single Ebook Cover, no characters ($1,199):** One ebook front cover, up to 3 revisions. The cover "cannot include human or human-like characters."
- **Single Ebook Cover, with characters ($1,999):** Same, plus up to two characters; additional characters are **$150 each**. For romantasy and PNR — genres where a figure on the cover is close to a market convention — this is the realistic entry price, not $1,199.
- **Trilogy Bundle ($3,599, advertised as a "$4272 Value"):** 3 ebook covers (no characters), 3 revisions each, 3 print-ready paperback designs, 3 audiobook covers and 1 3D box-set mockup. At ~$1,200 per cover it is her **cheapest per-cover route**, with print and audio effectively free — the headline figure is a volume deal, not a premium tier.

Covers are a mix of custom illustration, 3D work (Blender, Daz3D) and licensed Shutterstock stock, finished in Photoshop and/or Procreate.

**Print is not included in the base fee.** The single-cover packages buy the ebook front cover only; everything else is a published add-on:

| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| Paperback design | $150 |
| Hardcover jacket design | $200 |
| Audiobook design | $50 |
| Additional templates/formats | $50 |
| 3D box-set mockup | $150 |
| Each character beyond two | $150 |

**Licensing is a priced ladder, and the default keeps copyright with her.** The Standard License included in every package covers use as your book cover and related marketing only — "ownership of the work and copyright remains with me."

- **Commercial License (+50% of the base package):** merchandise for sale.
- **Worldwide License (+50%):** all formats, translations and editions, so audiobook or foreign-edition publishers need not license separately. She notes it is unnecessary for most self-publishing.
- **Copyright Transfer (+100%):** full rights including alterations and derivative works; she retains only portfolio display.

On the $1,999 tier a copyright transfer is another $1,999, so full ownership of a character cover is ~$3,998. Covers built on stock images may still need extra stock licences at the author's expense under the Commercial and Transfer options.

## Who It's For

- **Fantasy and romantasy authors at the premium tier:** the pricing assumes a serious commercial release, not a debut on a shoestring.
- **Authors whose readers care about no-AI:** her policy is unusually specific about supply chain, not just process (below).
- **Series authors:** the trilogy bundle is the best value on the page, and it is the only place print and audiobook covers come bundled.
- **Special-edition authors:** she has produced editions for **Fairyloot** and **The Bookish Box**, plus individual authors; foiling and sprayed edges are quoted case by case.

## Strengths

- **Bestseller-credentialed portfolio:** NYT/USA Today/WSJ author covers, and subscription-box work in the two boxes that matter most in romantasy.
- **A no-AI policy that addresses the stock libraries, not just her own hands:** "I never use AI in my artwork at any stage of my art process." She goes further than most — noting that Shutterstock now sells AI-generated images, she says she never buys AI assets and avoids unlabelled stock "that seems suspicious." That contamination step is what separates a real no-AI guarantee from a marketing line.
- **Published revision, deposit and licensing terms:** three revision rounds, a 10% deposit and a four-tier rights ladder are all on the site, which is rarer among solo designers than it should be.
- **Informal instalments:** no payment plan runs *during* a project, but you can book a start date months out and pay it down gradually — balance due the day before work begins. A genuine route into a $1,999 cover for an author who cannot pay it at once.
- **Fast first draft:** once your start date arrives, the first draft lands within three days.

## Limitations

- **Premium-only pricing:** $1,199 excludes most debut and budget-tier indie authors, and a character cover starts at $1,999.
- **The cheap tier excludes the thing the genre expects:** no humans or human-like figures at $1,199. Read that constraint before treating it as her floor.
- **Long lead time:** the cover process runs 4–6 weeks, and she books roughly **2–3 months ahead**. Print covers need a further 2–3 weeks' notice and are not started until you have a final page count — changes after that carry a **$25 fee**.
- **Copyright is not yours by default,** and buying it doubles the price.
- **Revisions stop at approval:** three rounds during the draft stage, then no major changes or concept shifts once final painting begins; extra rounds may be billed.
- **Booking is time-boxed:** order form, contract and questionnaire must all be returned within 7 days or the slot can be released, and the 10% deposit is non-refundable.
- **An abandoned predecessor site is still live and still indexed.** `bookcovers.rebeccafrank.design` serves her 2014–2019 site at HTTP 200, and search results surface its shop and photography pages as if current. It advertises premades at **$35–$55** (2015 gallery) *and* "$225-295" (2018 pricing FAQ), plus a 2019 ladder running to $3,625 — none of it real. Nothing on it has been touched since November 2019. Start from `rebeccafrank.design`.
- **Premades are newsletter-only, with no catalog and no published price.** The current site's `/shop/` page says premades "often sell FAST" and points to her newsletter, but it is not in the navigation, lists no products, and the store plugin is inactive — so there is no browsable premade shelf to price or shop. Treat her as custom-only unless you are on the list.
- **No spiders.** She declines cover projects featuring them.
