BOOK COVER DESIGN SERVICE
Your book will be judged by its cover
Unfortunately the saying is true—we judge books by their covers. Your book is stacked up next to thousands of others making the competition stiff and the first impression crucial.
So, how do you stand out on the shelf? With a professional custom book cover design that appeals to your audience and visually carries your story.
Don’t limit your book’s potential with a generic cover design
There are two problems with generic book cover design—it’s everywhere, and it lacks inspiration. They’re the quickest way to blend in, and not the best move when you’re trying to differentiate yourself from the noise.
Building solid, compelling visual concepts is the foundation of any creative design. That’s exactly what custom book covers bring to the shelf — curated visuals that tell your story and appeal to your specific genre. While a professional book cover design may cost more upfront, it’s an investment that will show itself in more readers and higher book sales.
So much more than just a front cover
Compelling book cover design requires so much more than illustrating the front cover.
While the front cover of your book pulls your prospective reader in, the back cover of your book seals the deal. So, don’t underestimate the importance of your book's back cover design.
To better understand, let’s take a walk in your reader’s shoes:
First, the front cover hooks your reader’s interest and compels them to pick up your book.
Depending on how your book is presented in store, the spine could also hook their attention.
Next, they turn your book over to read the back cover.
Lastly, they flip through a few pages to confirm their decision.
When you can guide readers through this journey, they’re more likely to buy. This makes your book cover design and how it represents your story a large part of the buying process.

OUR BOOK INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICE
Your vision crafted into an interior book design that honors your work
We can help you visually tell your story on the front and back covers, and every page in between. Our task starts with a holistic understanding of how your manuscript will take shape as a book. This way, we can endow it with its own identity, one that evokes your writing voice and literary style to readers.
Fine layout design & typesetting
On the surface, the difference between amateur and professional interior design comes down to aesthetics.
At a deeper level, professional interior design means layout and typesetting choices that honor the content of the book and offer readers a comfortable reading experience.
Get your book edited and designed at the same time
Whether you are already working with your editor or looking for one to work with, we can sync your manuscript with our design file. That way, whenever you or your editor make changes to your original manuscript, it automatically updates our design layout too!
This helps to achieve three things at once:
Allows both interior book design and editing to happen simultaneously.
Relieve your deadline pressure and reduce costs by reducing the manual work involved if further edits occur.
Removes human error and miscommunication between editor, author, and designer. We don’t have to rely on someone telling us text was changed, it updates automatically.
OUR 4-STEP DESIGN PROCESS FOR INTERIOR BOOK DESIGNS
We’ve created a four-step process to help deliver the best results. You don’t need any prior experience or knowledge; our book interior artists are here to help you every step of the way.
-
We guide you through simple steps to sync your manuscript to get your book edited and designed at the same time!
Once it’s been imported, your manuscript is cleaned up, ready for the main formatting and design work.
If we are not designing the cover for your book, we will ask you to fill in our design brief form to help us understand your book at a deep level. -
We present you the design of the front matter and one chapter for your approval of the look & feel.
From here, we’ll collaborate on the design’s look and feel until you’re 100% happy with it. -
We typeset the entire book using the approved styles. At this point, your manuscript may still be getting professionally edited and proofread, making edits and corrections.
Once the editing and proofreading are complete, we place all illustrations and graphics, if there are an, and fix orphans, widows, and runts.
Last-minute corrections or editing such as replacing a letter, word, sentence, or paragraph with a new one of equivalent length will not affect the typesetting. -
After you sign off on the design, we provide you with a link to your upload-ready files and design source files.
