One of the most intimidating steps of self-publishing is designing the book that you’ve worked so long and hard to write. Some authors think about the way their finished product might look long before their book is finished, while others will not think about it until it becomes absolutely necessary. Whatever your starting point, this article will give you the resources necessary to get your book noticed, bought, and read.

Book design includes not only the graphic design of the front and back cover, but also the layout and typographic design of every page within your book. So it is the responsibility of your book designer (or you, if you choose to design your book yourself) to ensure that the details of your book lead your future readers to your book, give off a professional impression, and don’t your interrupt readers from enjoying your masterpiece.

To ensure that your book will conform to the industry standards of professional book design, take a look at the articles I have linked below.

Book Cover Design

Seeing your book’s cover is often the first and only chance your audience has of finding and reading your book. So while it is clearly very important for a book’s cover to be striking, it is even more important that the title of your book is legible and the cover’s design conveys to the reader the genre and tone of the book.

Authors who design their own covers often run into trouble because their close connection to their books lead to covers that confuse readers rather than invite them. For this reason, many authors wisely choose to hire a professional book cover designer for their valuable industry experience, their artistic talent, or just to avoid the headache of learning how to design book covers themselves.

Interior Design

Although the cover of your book guide your readers to buy your book, the interior design will make them decide whether they will actually read it. The worst thing your book’s interior design can do is distract your readers from reading your work. It is therefore incredibly important to follow the professional conventions of book design that your readers will expect, rather than choosing fonts and typographic design that may be distracting.

I have linked a variety of articles that will outline the principles of interior design and help you avoid the mistakes that many self-publishing authors make when designing their own books.

In addition to the pages that have the body text of your book on them, books require certain other pages for readers to gain important information, and to protect your book from copyright infringement. These pages include:

Designing eBooks

In our digitally-focused world, many readers find themselves doing the majority of their reading through electronic devices. Although most of the conventions of print book design still ring true for designing ebooks, some of the rules become unnecessary while others could be dangerously distracting for your readers. If you expect the majority of your readers to be reading the ebook version of your manuscript, it may be worth your while to design your book with those readers in mind.

I have compiled a list of resources for ebook design that will ensure that your masterpiece will be discovered and read in this futuristic, electronic world.
