Testimonials
"They were intuitive, talented and a delight to work with"
The Spiffing Covers team is based in a charming village close to the River Colne, south of Colchester. I quickly got the impression that they did not waste their own money and would not waste mine. I found them friendly, approachable and very professional. They were meticulous in their attention to detail, intuitive, talented, competitive in their pricing but, above all, a delight to work with.
"Very Competitive... unbelievably professional"
You have finished writing your book, now what? A revolution in the world of publishing has empowered new writers like myself who now have an enviable opportunity to self publish their work, however it needs to be polished and look the business for it to have any chance of success.
I surfed the internet and approached a couple of self publishing agencies who although appreciative of my work, failed to inspire me with confidence. I had noticed Spiffing Covers at the same time, their brilliant website offering everything you could want but I imagined they were too expensive for my limited funds. Despite my reservations about the cost I thought no harm in asking and I'm so glad I did. Spiffing Covers were actually very competitive, an unbelievably professional with a team of very approachable and talented people.
For me, (and no doubt many others), Spiffing Covers have become part of my book, providing an amazing cover which has given me a totally new perspective to my work and exceptional
"They listened, knew what I wanted and delivered it"
The best thing I can say about Spiffing Covers is that now I have used them, I don't want anyone else to create my novel covers. I found Spiffing Covers during a simple Google search. I had finished my second book and was looking for someone better than the last company I'd used who had seemingly not listened to everything I'd told them I wanted. The funny thing is that during the entire time of working with SpiffingCovers, providing them with my concept, trading ideas and outlining expectations, I never felt the need to pick up the phone once - emails sufficed. They listened, knew what I wanted and delivered it. I guess that's what happens when you work with professionals. And I must say the outcome was even better than I could have hoped for. They are really good at what they do, so keep an eye out for my next book because it, too will be a Spiffing Covers effort.
"SpiffingCovers is a genuine example of that overused expression, a Business Partner"
There are many service providers in the burgeoning world of small independent publishers and self-publishing, but Spiffing Covers is far more than that-Spiffing Covers is a genuine example of that overused expression, a Business Partner. They don't just read the book and produce a more-or-less appropriate picture; Spiffing Covers takes the author's detailed synopsis, character list and scene-by-scene, chapter-by-chapter breakdown and returns a professional cover that mirrors exactly what the writer set out to achieve.
"Their guarantee of satisfaction isn't an idle claim"
My experience of SpiffingCovers has been pleasant, professional and entirely satisfactory. They have a proven knack of conjuring from an author's brief gripping, atmospheric cover designs. Their guarantee of satisfaction isn't an idle claim: they do deliver the goods. That is why I have come back to them for my next book's cover design. The Freethinker magazine has been appearing since 1881; it's editor said last month about Ambiguous Embrace: 'Impressed me greatly.'
