Book Covers

eBook | Paperback | Hardcover | Audiobook

You have a vision for the perfect cover, but you don't have the time, energy, or tools to bring it to life. Maybe you have no vision and no clue where to start, just a shiny new book begging to hit the shelves. Either way, you need a professional design that makes your paper baby stand out. Working within your budget, we can create a suite of matching covers for all formats - eBook, paperback, hardcover, and audiobook.

More experienced authors know a finished cover is just the start. Every new vendor has different requirements for size, format, margins, and quality; you can't use the same cover across all platforms without some wonky results. Once your design is finalized, we will work with you to format it for all vendors, at no additional cost.

Interior Layout

Paperback | Hardcover | Low Content

Flip through the books on your shelf and you'll see a wide variety of interior layouts, both in form and quality. Every single page is its own design, and you need a layout that tells your readers your book was worth the effort. You need to know the size of your book to get a final page count to set up the right margins - only to discover that setting the right margins changes the page count. How do you format the front matter? The table of contents? The chapter pages?

Don't sweat it. Not only can we handle interior layouts for you, we really really like doing it.

Marketing Graphics

Social Media | Email Marketing | Swag

Every marketing venue needs a graphic of its own. With different aspect ratios, recommended text-to-image ratios, and content requirements, it can get a little overwhelming if you're trying to do it all yourself. Let us help, and see your book's audience grow and grow!

Branding

Logos

The simplest graphics can be the hardest to create, and you want a logo people will recogize from social media to coffee mugs to invoices. You could find a free logo somewhere and add your business name, but who else is using that exact same logo? Custom logos are worth the cost, but only if you absolutely love them. That's where we come in.

Business Cards

Yes, people still use business cards! They may look suspiciously like bookmarks, recipe cards, or stickers, but you'll need something to give that potential new client you meet in the wild so they can contact you when they need your services.

Website Design

We can build you a website, or we can create a mockup design for you to use as inspiration. Snap up that domain name now, and let us make it pretty and functional.

Social Media

With plenty of experience growing audiences on the most important marking tool for small business, we can help you get your accounts up and running or run them for you.

Publishing

Self-Publishing Help

What's harder than writing a 500-page novel? Writing a 50-word blurb to market it. That's just one of 5 million tasks a new author takes on when she decides to go her own way.

Do you need to buy an ISBN? If you publish on one vendor, can you publish anywhere else? How do you know which categories to assign to your book? What the heck is back matter? How do you find beta readers and ARC readers?

You could skip the to-do list and start querying publishers, but if you want to be in complete control of your own creative product, you need help with the little things. From uploading to sellers' websites to connecting with readers and fellow writers, we can guide you through the process. You might even find yourself enjoying it!
