Is it an elaborate background
design that
tells a story like those found on many science fiction
book cover designs?
You can use this form to
tell us about your
book, your vision, main characters and locations, all of which will help us in creating a
cover design.
Just like with websites (which I wrote about here), I can usually
tell within 5 seconds whether a
book cover was professionally
designed.
I understand Createspace is trying to protect non-designers from screwing up their
books on accident, but their
design constraints make it difficult for
cover designers to make beautiful
covers — and then they send out arbitrarily error messages that needlessly worry clients (I almost always have to
tell them, contact customer support, or just order a copy and check the real version).
What you can
tell, immediately, even at thumbnail size, is that these are all stylish, high quality, well
designed book covers.
Don't try to force it by dropping in spine printing in your
book cover design if the system
tells you it's not allowed.
He
tells us who
designed the beautiful Random House
covers for the three
books: an artist named Jason Smith.
In The Ugly Edition, author Hugh Howey
tells us he didn't really want to make the «ugly»
design for the forthcoming (August 17) third
book in the trilogy — the «Dust
cover,» as I never tire of saying in my irritating way.
From Rick: As I
told you in part 1, professional
cover designers (in the same vein as some editors), would have you believe that lowly individuals like you and me can't and shouldn't
design our own
covers (or edit our own
books).
I think most authors think that
book cover design is just like art: you just
tell the artist what you want and they can make it, like magic, from the end of their pencil.
These factors have shaped the UK model for Type &
Tell, which is launching during this year's London
Book Fair, offering a complete self - publishing service that guides users throughout the process, from professional editorial guidance and
cover design, through to publication, distribution and printing — and all with free typesetting and 100 % author royalties.
Please
tell me about your
book, so I can send you a price for a beautiful
book cover design.

I try to
tell myself not to judge a
book by its
cover, but the
cover of a
book that chooses something beyond a very simple
design reflects a certain amount of effort and regard held by the entity publishing it.
This reminds me of how the head of MacMillan — I think that's who it was — back at the start of the agency pricing debate tried
telling everyone that publishers had double charges on editing,
cover design and layout, among others, when it comes to e-
books and print
books.
But if you wrap it in a cheap, poorly
designed cover just to save a few bucks, you're basically
telling future readers that your
book isn't worth a second look.
One of my clients
told me that the
cover I recently
designed for her was the reason her
book sold so well.
If someone
tells you that he or she
designed a
cover in PowerPoint, your first question (or thought) should be «And how many
books have you sold?»
I wouldn't care so much about the
book cover design, but the reviews were also
telling: the non-fiction hardcovers had some reviews, but with a three star average.
