What is The Bucket List?
We provide you with all the creative designs you need to launch your new book, all in one package, ready for printing or digital use.

You are free to combine these elements in any way, and in any quantity! However, the main cover itself must be a part of the package, as it forms the creative foundation of the package, which will carry over to the other elements as well.
Please reach out to me via e-mail, Instagram, or Threads - tell me which elements you would be interested in, and I'll be happy to create a custom quotation for you! 🙂
