Make a statement or blend in

You only get one shot at a first impression. Even if you’ve penned the next New York Times bestseller, readers won’t even touch it unless your book cover design grabs their attention. So when you’re lined up on the bookshelf, alongside other titles in your genre, the most important thing you need is a book cover that compels readers to choose your book. Let BookBaby design a book for you that stands out on the shelves – including the virtual ones.

Beautiful covers and interior book printing. Best support ‘I’ve ever had

Why is a strong book design important?

A compelling book design is crucial for attracting readers to your book. Consider this: When browsing bookstore shelves, do you gravitate towards a cover that is plain or unappealing, or do you choose the one that stands out with a unique and engaging design?

The latter is the likely choice. A strong book cover design does more than just catch the eye; it communicates the essence of your story and plays a key role in selling your book. Whether readers encounter your book in a store or online, the cover is their first impression.

Does BookBaby provide assistance with both exterior and interior book design?

Yes! BookBaby Officials offers comprehensive services for both exterior and interior book design. Your exterior design includes the book cover and trim size, as well as options for hardcover or paperback formats.

For interior book design, we handle manuscript formatting, which includes black text for novels, poetry, and memoirs, or color text for art, photography, and children’s books (think: image-heavy books).

BookBaby Officials also provides interior formatting for eBooks. Just as with print books, your eBook will be formatted for optimal readability on devices like Amazon Kindle, Apple iPad, Barnes & Noble Nook, and other eBook readers.
