Why do you need to hire a book design professional?

If you fail to properly address your book’s appearance, it will seriously reduce its chances of getting noticed by your potential audience. Your book’s cover is the first thing readers will see, and you know what they say about first impressions… 

So why risk all those hours of hard work on your book going unnoticed, since people really do judge a book by its cover? At Reedsy, we handpick our designers for their qualifications and industry experience to ensure that you have the best possible collaboration.

It’s just about the cover, right?

Not exactly. The cover is just the packaging of your book. While you want the packaging to be visually appealing and relevant, you don’t want your readers to be disappointed once they open your book. Typesetting, typography, and illustration all play an enormous role in interior design.
