About Cover Design 

Your book’s cover is the first impression that potential readers/buyers will see.  It’s therefore one of the most important parts of the self-publishing journey--especially for newbie authors.   No matter which package you choose and what type of book you write (fiction, non-fiction, children's, coffee table, etc.), Steve will work with you step-by-step to develop the perfect cover for your manuscript.

About Interior Layout

How do you take your massive, raw Word Document and turn it into a professional-looking book?  That’s what interior layout is all about.  Whatever program you write your manuscript in, Steve will take that raw blob of a document and transform it into a beautiful and professional interior layout that meets top industry standards. 

The Benefits of a Pro on Your Side

The quality of your cover can lead to selling 0 or 10 or 100+ books a month.  This is why you never want to skimp on cover design.  It’s a one-time investment that will pay you back for the rest of your book’s life.  Your book’s cover is not a cost; it’s an investment. 

Book cover design is a unique and specialized niche that takes years to learn, develop, and hone.  You don't want to let your uncle Bob do your book cover because he's good at Photoshop and will do it for free!  Below you can see the difference between an amateur and a professional in book cover design.
