Never Judge A Book By Its Cover
Book Design Tips
In 2024, self-publishing of books is easier than ever before. Have a look at some of the tips that we have gathered below.
Professional Editing
For a professional and polished book, it’s always a good idea to have a professional editor work on it. An editor will read it from a reader’s point of view and will know how to perfect your manuscript to make it succeed. A copy-editor will check for both flow and consistency and a proofreader will check spelling and grammar. Try to find an editor who will encompass all of these roles. Have a look at this website from Dave Chesson who has a list of book editors on his website.

Never Judge A Book By Its Cover
The thing is, we do. If the cover isn’t well designed and eye-catching, a great book may never even be picked up. Get your cover designed by a professional graphic designer.
Interior Design
Interior design is one of those things that you never notice… unless it’s wrong. And even then the reader may not know why but just get a bad feeling about it, and, no matter how good the story is, find they cannot continue reading. It’s important to get the design and your subject matter to mesh well together. The trim size, fonts, margins, spacings, headers, folios and your story all need to gel together to create a great read.

Purchase An ISBN
An ISBN is something that every book needs. This is a code that references every book sold. Any shop, distributor or library will need an ISBN in order to catalogue your book. As well as an ISBN it’s also good to purchase a barcode. This way your book can be scanned when sold in shops.
If you plan to sell your book through Amazon, they will give you an ISBN.
