Publishing design courses to help you make beautiful books

A book is more than just the written word. The experience of reading your work depends heavily on how your books are designed, from an appealing cover to immaculate typography. Reedsy’s free publishing design courses last just ten days, with lessons arriving in your inbox each morning.

With all the hurdles that writers already face when publishing, we at Reedsy believe that information and education should be accessible to anyone who wants and needs it. For that reason, every online course offered on Reedsy Learning is 100% free.
