Hire the best poetry book designers


Poetry is as much about how the words look on the page as it is about what they mean and how they sound when read aloud. From designing a gorgeous poetry book cover design that embodies the spirit of your work, to choosing typography that allows the ideas of the poem emerge, and coming up with a layout that ensures each poem fits on the page, hiring a poetry book designer to work on your poetry book means your book will get the polish it deserves.


Depending on your book’s needs, our designers are also able to provide illustrations or related art, suggest new ways to style the text, and answer any questions you may have, regardless of whether you’re publishing a collection, novel in verse, or anthology.


When you work with a book designer from Reedsy’s community, you can trust that they have the skill and experience needed to deliver the result you need for your poetry book.
