Book Cover Design Trial (Amazon KDP)

We are preparing a book about European residency to be published on Amazon (KDP).
We are looking for a professional designer to create a premium book cover. We will select the freelancer for the full project based on an initial draft cover concept, and then give designer the full job to complete:
- the final cover design, and
- the full interior formatting/layout (once the final manuscript is ready).

This book must feel high-end, authoritative, and suitable for a high net worth audience. Clean, elegant, and professional.

We will provide a draft manuscript only as a sample to show the length and concept. The text is still being edited, so no interior formatting work is required at this stage. The current cover is AI-generated for sample purposes only - we do not like it and we do not want any covers submitted in a similar style.

We want to see a draft cover concept (1–2 options is ideal).
We will choose the designer who best matches our brand and then proceed with the full project.

The cover should:
- Look premium and trustworthy
- Be minimal, elegant, corporate
- Fit a serious non-fiction/business tone
- Be suitable for Amazon (KDP)

Once selected, the chosen designer will:
- Finalise the cover design
- Format the full book interior (layout + placement of images)
- Deliver final files in publishable formats: print-ready PDF for Amazon KDP and Word version (or editable source file, as agreed).

Timeline:
- We want to review draft cover concepts and select a designer quickly.
- Once the final manuscript is provided, we need the full book formatting completed within 3 days of receiving it.
- Target publication date: no later than next Friday.

To apply: Share draft/idea for the cover, share relevant portfolio links and confirm you can do both cover + interior formatting.
