Immortalize your message through iconic visuals!
Some authors publish books. Others make statements! In a crowded world, it’s not the best ideas that win, it’s the ones that stand out. You’ve already done what most never will—you’ve written the book.
But here’s the truth: even the boldest ideas get lost without bold presentation. Creative art isn’t decoration. It’s the difference between a book that’s seen and one that sinks. Readers are flooded with content. What they remember are the moments. A striking trailer. An attention grabbing billboard, a mural that stops traffic. An image that travels faster than text. When your story shows up like that, people follow.
Authors who skip this step often return to square one—wondering why the book didn’t move like it should’ve. At Manuscript Makers, we turn brilliant manuscripts into visual catalysts—engineered to move culture, open doors, and stretch your reach beyond the bookshelf.
We are Manuscript Makers! We don’t just launch, we land your idea with impact.

Get Started Now!
You didn’t write something polite. You wrote something true.
But if the design looks forgettable, no one reads the first sentence.
You built a world. You stitched wounds into characters.
You’ve done the rare thing—created original thought. Now it’s time to present it like the intellectual asset it is.
Not everyone gets that spark! Not everyone hears voices! Not everyone — feels the weight of unwritten worlds — pressing on their chest — night after night.
And yet—most authors stall at the edge of greatness.
They throw their story into the void wrapped in cheap visuals and then wonder why the universe stays quiet.
The book you wrote—the one that drained your laughter and scattered your certainty—the one that cost you friends, peace, months of silence, and years of doubt.
It only lives as long as people remember it.
And memory, dear writer, is brutal!
No one remembers the book that almost made it.
They remember the one that took cities—grew wings — sailed oceans — crossed continents.
Yet, you can have the most profound novel of the decade and still — get buried beneath Kindle noise — TikTok trends — and ugly design that looks like you gave up at the finish line.
Surprisingly, that’s what 99% of authors do.
But you? You can’t afford that. Not now. Not after what you gave this story.
This is the moment you decide whether your story gets its due.
Or becomes another almost. Another could’ve.

You Can’t Ask The World To Take Your Book Seriously When It Looks Petty…
Dismissive—Like A Flower That Almost Died Unopened. Legend-grade stories—the ones that bend minds, shift skies, and turn readers into raving angels—demand precision.
The authors who wait? They reappear a year later—broke, bitter, invisible.
Don’t be them. Be the creator who stormed the skyline. Be the voice that sculpted thunder. Be the writer who finished the damn thing right.
Ready to take over billboards and drop striking book-graffiti art? Multi-media adaptations with visuals— designed to echo through every layer of cloud?
Creative Art
At Manuscript Makers, we help serious authors build visual worlds that sell stories — not just illustrate them.
Continental Billboard Design
Your book can’t sell if it’s buried in the algorithm. Tweets vanish. Posts get scrolled. No amount of social media posts will replicate the impact of a 20×10-foot billboard in Berlin, Lagos, London, or Johannesburg. We lock down premium outdoor ad space—bus shelters, roadside giants, subway walls—in five continents. We design it loud. Print it huge. Rotate it nonstop for 30 days in cities that don’t blink.
When your cover towers over traffic, you don’t compete—you dominate.

Multi-Media Adaptation
You wrote the book—but that’s only the beginning. A smart story can evolve into a short film, a visual series, a podcast—without losing its core. We connect you with scriptwriters, graphic artists, and audio professionals to turn your idea into a multi-platform plan: serialized comics, audio adaptations, and film pitches that can open funding doors. One memoir client used this plan to secure a $12,000 grant from a UK arts council—funding both a graphic adaptation and a cinematic short.
Make your story worth remembering in every format that matters.
Slots: 2 slots per year
Book Graffiti Installment
Books get ignored online. Stories drown in scrolls. But a 10-foot mural on a bustling street? That burns into memory. We place your story on walls that talk—bold, vibrant murals installed across high-traffic spots in twelve cities. Passersby stop, take photos, and share the experience. Suddenly, your narrative unfolds across Lagos alleyways or Cape Town cafés. The streets become your stage, and every passerby a potential audience.
Control the narrative, and set the street and highway alive.

Best Seller Analytics + Content Gaps
How many years have you wasted thinking “good writing” was enough? Our AI tool—available only to authors in our founding circle—cuts through the guesswork. It analyzes data from top-performing books in your genre and gives you a blueprint: what to say, how to shape it, and where your competitors dropped the ball. You don’t need to write more. You need to write smarter—with insight that actually sells.
Make your readers hit “Buy” without thinking twice.
Slots: Beta access. For Selected Authors Only.
Interactive Web Experiences
Your book is the gateway—but what lies beyond should stop readers in their tracks.
We build interactive web experiences that turn your story into an entire living system- character profiles, secret plot branches, evolving maps, hidden music tracks, bonus chapters—all woven into a web that deepens the narrative and hooks your audience even after the last page is turned. Let them explore. Let them discover. Let them lose track of time as they move through your world.
Give Readers More Than a Book—Give Them a World.

Illustrative Art (Graphics)
What if your story didn’t just live on the page—but burst out in full, blazing color? We don’t just “illustrate” your book—we reimagine it. Our team of award-winning illustrators, graphic novelists, and comic editors from Lagos, Johannesburg, and Cairo—will dive deep into your manuscript and reshape it into a gallery of high-impact visuals. Your manuscript becomes a living art object—rich, cinematic, unforgettable. Something people don’t just read, but see, hold, share, and remember.
Let your story show its face. Let it speak in color.

Novel-to-4D
Traditional books die on shelves. Interactive stories dominate phones. We partner with a vetted game studio (clients include two Kalahari Book Prize winners) to transform your narrative into a premium mobile game. Choices, branching paths, character avatars, and in-app purchases. You retain IP rights; we handle coding, art, and UX design. Launch it on Google Play and Apple App Store. Our client sold 25,000 copies and 8,700 in-app upgrades within its first month.

Book Trailer Production
Your book trailer is one of the most important marketing asset. It deserves expert care, sharp strategy, and a splash of innovation. We script, storyboard, source music, and edit a 5 minute cinematic trailer—complete with voice-over, motion graphics, and subtitles optimized for social platforms. You get 3 distinct trailer along with photo shoots. Upload one link, and potential readers experience your story’s tension, stakes, and tone in real terms.
Turn Pages into Motion Graphics without Lifting a Finger.

Characters to Chat-bots
For Vetted Authors in our founding circle. We build custom AI chat-bot trained on characters’ voices and plot points. Readers open a chat window, ask questions like “Why did you make that decision?” or “What happens next?” and get in-character responses, deepening their immersion and boosting word-of-mouth buzz. Every question unlocks a new layer of your narrative. Readers become detectives and cheerleaders in equal measure.
Give readers a living, breathing connection to your story.

What Our Customers Say
I wasn’t planning to do a game. I thought it was overkill. I was wrong. I honestly laughed when they suggested a mobile game. I told them, ‘I’m just trying to get this book out.’ But they showed me a prototype based on two of my characters, and I was stunned. My teenage cousin tested it and said, ‘This is better than Wattpad.’ We launched it in beta and I got more engagement in 2 weeks than my last 6 months of promo. Wild.
Tariro E. (Mobile Game Adaptation)
I kept saying, ‘I’m not famous enough for a billboard.’ Then the billboard went up. It was in Nairobi, right near a traffic stop. My name. My title. My face. I’ve had strangers email me with photos they took on their commute. My sister’s friend called her screaming when she saw it. I didn’t even think I’d deserve this kind of rollout. Turns out, it’s exactly what I needed.
Moses K. (Billboard Placement)
I thought I needed a cover. What I actually needed was a world. I’d been going in circles trying to explain the book. What it was. What made it different. They built this digital portal—maps, background audio, little hidden clicks that unlocked bonus chapters. One reader messaged me and said, ‘It’s like you wrote this for me.’ That’s when I knew we hit the mark.
Chidera M. (Interactive Web Companion)
They made my character talk. That’s not a metaphor. They built a bot that could respond in my character’s voice. I tested it myself—asking stuff only someone who really knew the book would understand. It nailed the tone. Readers started sending me screenshots of their convos like it was a chat with a celebrity. I didn’t expect that. But now I want one for every book I write.
Halima O. (Character Chatbot Experience)
My book was doing okay. But the trailer took it to another level. I got three different versions—a teaser, a cinematic cut, and a short one for Instagram. It wasn’t just visuals—it was feeling. People DM’d me saying they cried watching it. I had one book club tell me they picked my novel based solely on the trailer. That’s when I stopped seeing it as marketing. It’s storytelling too.
Nia G. (Book Trailer Package)
They put my book on a wall in Lagos. I nearly screamed. I walked past it with my cousin. She pointed and said, ‘Wait, isn’t that…?’ and I just nodded. A full mural. One of the scenes I wrote in a bus at 2am. Now it’s on a street where kids hang out. That’s bigger than sales. That’s memory. Legacy. I’ll never forget that day.
Folu A. (Street Graffiti Installment)
I didn’t know people would see my story like that. The illustrator caught things I didn’t spell out. A background detail, a look between two characters… it was all there in the drawing. It made me feel like the book had already been lived through. Like someone else had been there. I didn’t expect to cry seeing it—but I did.
Nosa D. (Illustrative Art Commission)
I knew my story had legs but something was missing. I’d already written the script for a short film, but I didn’t know how to pitch it or build anything around it. They helped turn the whole thing into a proper visual campaign—graphic scenes, audio cuts, storyboards. It was like they saw the long game when I was still staring at the start line.”
Ayodeji A. (Multi-Media Expansion Support)
This isn’t design. It’s story alchemist. I gained access and realized my original title was too soft, my hook was buried, and the visual vibe didn’t fit the emotional pitch. The new direction filled a hole I didn’t even know was there. The program didn’t just make pretty—it repositioned the entire project. I felt like I was finally playing at the level I always dreamed of.

FAQ — Just for You, Brave Author!
How do I get started with any of the Creative Art services?
Just click the service that matches your vision—whether that’s Interactive Web, Book Graffiti, or Best Seller Analytics. Once you click, a simple three-step interface pops up. You’ll upload your project brief (book title, genre, summary or first chapters), make payment, and we’ll give you a confirmation call in 15 minutes to align on next steps.
Do I have to send the whole manuscript?
No. A summary or a few key chapters are enough to understand your tone, world-building, and emotional heartbeat. If we need more as we go, we’ll ask.
What if my book isn’t “ready” yet?
Hey, whose book ever is? We’ve worked with scribbles on napkins and fully plotted trilogies. Whether you’ve got a first draft or just an idea with legs, there’s something we can do. For more strategy-based services (like Best Seller Analytics), even a summary will do.
What formats can I upload?
Keep it simple: .docx, .pdf, or .txt for writing. If you’ve got mood boards, character references, or sketches, send them as .jpg, .png, or in a neat little .zip folder.
What happens after I pay?
You get a call. A real one. Within 15–30 minutes (during work hours), someone from our team rings you up—not to sell you anything—but to make sure we’re on the same creative page before we begin.
Can I mix services together?
Not for creative art. Each service is a standalone experience—crafted by a separate team, with its own flow. But once one’s done, you’re free to start another.
I want to see the price first. Can I?
Yes, prices show up before you upload a thing. No guessing. And when you hit step 3, your total is right there before you even reach for your wallet.
How many slots are available each month or quarter?

Why are slots so limited?
Because we’re not a factory. Every cover, trailer, or mural takes time, taste, and tenacity. Keeping slots low means we don’t rush your art—and we don’t dilute your vision. If you see “Sold Out,” let us know—we’ll put you on the waitlist.
How do you know what to design?
We read. We listen. And when needed, we ask. Our creatives don’t just scan briefs. They sit with your words. They sketch ideas while sipping tea. They obsess. That’s how we nail covers, trailers, and websites that feel like your story—even before a reader turns a page.
Can I talk to someone if I get stuck mid-process?
Of course. Your dashboard lets you message us, and your Creative Manager (assigned after the first call) will be your go-to from kickoff to final file delivery.
Can this help me get a publisher, deal, or grant?
While we can’t promise outcomes, authors who’ve used services like Multi-Media Adaptation or Analytics have landed major grants, deals, or features. It makes your project stand out—and that matters.
What do I get at the end of this thing?
Depends on the service, but generally:
High-res art files
Website files (if interactive)
A few ready-to-use promo assets
And a feeling that your book actually looks as good as it reads.
Can I ask for changes if I don’t love the first version?
Yes. You’ll get 1–2 rounds of thoughtful revisions depending on the package. We’re not robots—we expect dialogue.
Will AI design my book art?
Never. Nope. Not here. We only use AI to organize submissions and match the right creative to your book. The actual art is hand-done by humans who think, feel, and probably cry while drawing.
What if I’m not sure what genre my book is?
That’s fine. Just pick “Not Sure” in the genre dropdown. We’ll figure it out together after your submission comes in.
How long will it take?
Expect a turnaround of 2–4 weeks for Murals and Web, 2–3 weeks for Billboards and Illustrations and 3–5 weeks for Trailers and Mobile Game Concepts. We give you a clearer timeline on the call. During our kickoff call, we align on what matters to you. Because here, you’re not just a client. You’re a storyteller we believe in. We’re not here to rush you through. We’re here to build something real — something that honors your words and earns its place in the world.
I’m nervous. This is my first time doing something like this.
We get that. It’s why we built this funnel the way we did: easy, light, unscary. Every creative started somewhere. We see you—and we’ve got your back.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
If no work has started yet, yes—we’ll refund you. If work has already begun, we’ll handle refunds based on how far along we are. But we’re fair, and we want you to feel good.
Do I own the final assets?
Yes. You get full commercial rights to everything we deliver—graphics, trailers, billboard design, code, illustrations, or scripts—depending on your package.
Do you showcase the work after it’s done?
Sometimes. With your permission, we include a few anonymous case studies or show clips (especially for trailers or murals). But your story? Your call.
Do I need a bestseller to qualify for the “bigger” services?
Not at all. While some of our services are invite only. Most of our billboard and mural clients are first-time authors. If you have a strong message, a story that moves, or even just crazy ambition—we want to hear from you.
Still unsure if this is for me?
That’s okay. You can snoop around the site as long as you like. You can even start the submission without paying. The door’s open. Whenever you’re ready.
