where should I start: cover, website, or promo kit?

Start with whatever you need the most. If your launch is coming up and you don't have a cover↗, start there. If you're already selling but readers can't find you online, start with the website↗. If you have both but no launch assets, start with the promo kit↗. Not sure? Send me a message↗ and I'll help you figure out the right starting point for where you are right now.

can I hire you for just one service or do I need all three?

Each service works independently. Many authors start with a book cover and add a website later. Others come for the promo kit after their cover is already done. There's no package requirement and no pressure to book all services at once. Start where it makes sense for your book and your budget.

do you write the content for my author website?

Yes. Every author website includes SEO-friendly content written specifically for your audience and optimized for Google and AI search. You bring the expertise and the story. I translate it into language that connects with readers, builds credibility, and gets found online.

can you work with my existing cover or brand if I already have one?

Yes. If you already have a cover you love, I can build your website and promo kit around it to create a consistent visual identity. If you have an existing author brand or logo, I'll work with it. And if you're not sure whether your current cover is working as hard as it should, I'm happy to give you an honest assessment.

Who we are for

We work with subject matter experts, thought leaders, speakers, and first-time or established authors who have written a book that needs to be seen as a professional product. Whether you need a book cover that commands attention, an author website that builds your platform, or launch visuals that make your book impossible to overlook, we build it all with the same standard of professional, editorial design. Our Book Cover Design↗ ensures your expertise is visible before a single page is turned. Our Author Website↗ gives your book and your brand a credible home online. Our Book Promo Kit↗ gives you the visuals to launch with confidence.

We work with fiction authors whose books call for a clean, editorial, or conceptual cover aesthetic, rather than highly illustrated or painted styles. If your vision aligns with our design approach (bold typography, considered composition, and a cover that feels distinctive rather than derivative), we'd love to see your project. Not sure if we're a good fit? Send us a message at hello@pepperedpixels.com↗ and we'll tell you honestly.

Working Together

Working with Peppered Pixels means working directly with Olga↗, a professional storyteller, designer, and award-winning communicator who has spent her career turning complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals.

We'll start with a conversation about your book, your readers, and the message your cover needs to send. From there I'll develop concepts, present options, and refine the design based on your feedback, keeping everything aligned with your genre, your audience, and your goals.

You'll have space to give input and ask questions at every stage, without getting lost in unnecessary steps or handoffs.

FAQ

A brief overview of your book, your target readers, and your timeline is enough to begin. For a book cover, I'll also want to know your genre and any visual references you love or want to avoid. For a website, we'll talk about your author brand, your goals, and what you want readers to do when they find you. You don't need to have everything figured out: that's what my initial consultation is for.

Pretty impressive. Olga knows what she is doing. No technical talk. All decisions were suggested with the end client in mind. She brought up a bunch of stuff that I did not even think about. Definitely recommend.

I was looking for a website designer that understands and knows SEO. Olga was the only person I could find, she was professional and patient, efficient and worth money. She obviously knows what she is doing. The process was easy and very customer-focused. Recommendher 1000%.

As an award-winning and multi-bestselling author, I’ve learned a few things about what a book cover needs to stand out—especially in the non-fiction genre. I love Olga's style: her covers are professional, eye-catching, and make the book's topic immediately clear.
