CHOOSING YOUR THRILLER COVER

Set the tension before page one.

01

Start with the source of tension.

A crime scene, an isolated place or a striking title can each make a different promise. Choose a design that fits the pace of your novel, whether it is an investigation or an intimate psychological story.

02

Keep the hierarchy sharp.

A thriller title should be easy to pick out quickly. Give short words impact, and use a supporting line only if it adds a new reason to read. An established series name can take a smaller, consistent position.

03

Build a blurb around the stakes.

Introduce the central situation, the person caught in it and what they stand to lose. Save the explanation and the twist for the book itself. Check that the back-cover copy is readable on the chosen background.

questions.

For pricing, shared designs and print preparation, read the collection FAQs.

Does this collection include crime book covers?

Yes. Crime and thriller designs live together here, including A perfect alibi, The last witness and The night shift. There is one collection to browse for investigations, secrets and psychological suspense.

Can I add a detective series name?

Yes. Add a text layer for the detective or series name and the book number. Keep its position consistent across the series, while allowing each main title enough space.

Where can I find lighter mystery covers?

The cosy mystery collection has gentler settings and a warmer visual tone. It is a better starting point when the reading experience centres on a community, an amateur sleuth and a less threatening atmosphere.
