The Storyprint Codex

Clear, warm communication — You'll know exactly what to expect and when.

No ghosting.

No vague timelines.

Story-first branding, always. We don’t just skim your blurb or vibe-check your genre—we get to know your manuscript and uncover the emotional pulse, anchors, and plot threads that make your book unique. Then we translate that into a visual brand that feels like it was woven from the words themselves.

Support, not stress — You're not expected to "speak designer." We guide you through the creative process step by step. You bring the story. We’ll help you shape the brand.

We specialize in crafting visual brands for indie romance authors—whether your story simmers, aches, bites, or blooms. From dark romance to small-town sweet, we unravel the tone and tropes that define your book and shape visuals that feel like how your love story should look.

While romance is our specialty, we're always open to working with authors across genres—as long as the project aligns with our vibes and approach. If you're unsure whether your project is a fit, feel free to reach out. We're happy to recommend another creative if needed.

We do not currently offer these packages for these genres, tropes, and special circumstances:

Genre: Nonfiction, Academic, Poetry, Horror, Extreme Gore, or Splatterpunk genres

Tropes: Bully Romances, or underage romance

Any books that would be banned on major retailers' websites, if your book could be or should be the exception please discuss it with me first. Kink is fine...so are hard limits. Let's chat first.

We use trusted third-party design tools including Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Canva to craft your covers with intention and style. Depending on the project; images and fonts are sourced from licensed platforms like Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, DepositPhotos, Etsy, Creative Market and Canva. While we embrace digital design, we do not use AI-generated images or AI-generated components in our covers and try to avoid imagery created by AI platforms. Our focus is on thoughtful, human-driven design choices that honor your story’s heart and the creative process behind it.

Reserve Your Codex Tier: Choose your tier and lock in your spot. You’ll check out, receive a confirmation page and/or email with next steps. On the success page there will be a link to schedule your Codex read-through start date in our calendar. Longer manuscripts may extend the turnaround time, so book early if you’re launching soon. Please schedule only one book per appointment spot.

Turnaround Time: Minimum 2 weeks from your scheduled date, depending on manuscript length.

Share Your Story: Email us a link to your book to read; a Bookfunnel, storefront link, pdf or epub is acceptable. If there is a particular aspect you want us to read for i.e. quotes, a theme, or anything you think feels like your book and should stand out in your brand let me know. For example; if you have an established brand built on sword swinging women that drink mead like water and put men in their place, or want that branding nurtured through this package, that would be helpful to know. Please avoid sending your vision via social DMs, they tend to vanish into the ether.

The Codex is Written: We begin reading your manuscript with a designer’s eye and a strategist’s heart. We take notes, follow the emotional threads, and translate what we see into a brand foundation. Depending on your tier, this may include a variety of components.

Use Your Codex for Every Visual: Your Codex is designed to support your book’s visual platform—starting with your book then onward from formatting and covers to promo graphics, launch strategies, and long-term branding.

The Storysmith’s Codex is our most in-depth visual branding tier, crafted for authors who are building a flagship series, undergoing a rebrand, or creating a long-term author identity that feels iconic, resonant, and true from the book submitted.

This is more than quote pulls and aesthetic notes—we distill the emotional heartbeat of your story as we read it and forge it into a visual blueprint that guides everything from your tagline to your teaser graphics. This is the artisan visual marketing brand experience—tailored, intuitive, and built to last regardless of how how many special edition covers you run. If the story is the same, this codex applies.

Includes:

Full Story Immersion with Branding Analysis: We read your manuscript not as editors—but as visual designers and brand storytellers, translating the emotional fabric of your book into a visual identity. From mood and pacing to symbols and tone, we extract creative cues that shape everything from your cover design and teaser graphics to the interior layout of your paperback and the feel of your author website. For example: An emotional shift like his hand twitching when he walks away from her—not because he’s angry, but because he loves her despite everything tells us the romance is intense, imperfect, and aching. That might lead to raw, textured visuals with bold fonts and close-up teaser graphics but it is always evaluated in the context of the story as whole. A symbolic detail like a raven tattoo over the only unscarred part of his chest becomes a powerful visual motif. It might become a possible teaser quote, graphic icon, or series emblem anchoring your book/series in meaning. A tonal nuance like a feather drifting on the breeze or a quiet brook running through a forgotten forest is more than prose. It sets a lyrical, and ethereal tone that can influence your typography, spacing, and color choices.

a visual brand that evokes emotion before a single page is read

Promo Hook & Brand Voice Highlights: We identify core hooks, recurring motifs, and emotional promises your story makes to readers—and translate those into visual concepts and brand language. This becomes the foundation for teaser graphics, taglines, and genre-aligned visual designs that feels feeling unmistakably you or at the very least your book.
Brand Story Report (PDF): Your visual storyprint codex—distilled into a creative brief crafted from your manuscript. This isn’t just a recap. It’s your book’s visual identity translated into strategy. We take everything we’ve uncovered during our reading and shape it into a designer-ready brand guide you can use for any future creative work, whether you're collaborating with us or working solo. This PDF becomes your North Star for visual branding; cover design, formatting, teaser graphics, launch visuals, website layout, and more. Your report includes: Tagline Tone suggestions, Moodboard Keywords & Visual Anchors, Themes, Tropes & Emotional Atmosphere Cues, Recommended design personality, a short narrative summary of the visuals your book invokes, and visual examples.
30-Minute Creative Design Strategy Consult: We’ll meet (virtually or via chat) to walk through your report, answer questions, and explore how it can shape future projects—like cover design, formatting, launch graphics, or a full author rebrand. This session is part visual, part creative spark, and fully focused on making your book’s presence as powerful as the story you’ve written.
