Hire the best book designers in Atlanta

Finding a qualified book designer is like finding a needle in a haystack. You can’t just get a good artist — you’ll need someone who understands book design elements like dimensions, text placement, illustrations vs. photos, and (ideally) the cover trends in your genre. A great book designer should also understand how the interior of your book should look, even if they won’t be designing it themselves. And finally, you need a book designer who’ll fit your budget — which, when it comes to any kind of design service, can be a pretty tall order.

Fortunately, Reedsy can help. Whether you’re seeking book designers for hire in Atlanta or anywhere else in the world, we have the best professionals right here on our marketplace. Looking for a show-stopping cover or a clean, elegant interior for your book? Whatever you desire, you’re sure to find it in our designers’ galleries. Many have worked with Big 5 publishers before — you might just recognize a bestseller or two as you browse. All you have to do to connect with these talented designers is sign up to Reedsy.
