Pressbooks makes sure your
book meets complex ebook and print - on - demand standards
as well
as the Chicago Manual of Style recommendations for
book formatting, without you hiring a graphic
designer or ebook developer or learning these
skills yourself.
The best way an author can exert creative control is by choosing a
designer wisely and then offering
as much supporting information
as possible (for instance, similar
book covers they like in the genre, character descriptions and synopsis, back cover copy, anticipated market, etc.) Finally, if a cover
designer is allowed to use their
skill and imagination freely, and then the client gives clear direction on revisions, the end result is almost always something both the
designer and the author can be proud of.
