Book Design

Book Design Consultation

From the start of your project, we will discuss your book in detail. You will be asked to provide a short synopsis of you book, and other details necessary to start the project, including your book’s trim size, genre, and the most appropriate look and feel for your book.


Book Cover Design

Using a combination of stock images (photos or vector illustrations) and a wide array of fonts, I will design a unique cover for you. Up to three low resolution concepts will be mocked up from which you will select one to be the basis for your final cover design.

Book Formatting

 

The inside of your book is just as important as the cover. By having me design both your book’s cover and interior your book’s design can be consistent inside and out. A properly formatted eBook is just as important as a properly formatted paperback, especially for indie authors. Poorly formatted ebooks can turn readers off, and cause them to write bad reviews on Amazon.
