Contrary to the old adage, people do judge a book by its cover.
Most self-published books are easily spotted by their amateur covers. Conversely, a well-designed cover attracts attention, it gives the reader a clear idea of what the book is about, and says, “pick me up. You want readers to flock to your book – and so do we.
Having a high-quality cover that stands out in a crowded marketplace – for the right reasons – is a crucial step towards the success of your book.

Inside your book – making your text a pleasure to read
Just as the cover of your book is an important factor in attracting readers, the inside pages of your book can quickly make or break your book.
Many self-published books are simply difficult to read and don’t look professional. Readers (rightly) expect a certain standard of typing and layout for books, and you don’t want to make a bad impression until a single word is read in your masterpiece.
Good typesetting and book layout is a delicate exercise in ‘staying out of the way’. Our aim is to make your book as readable as possible – we let the content shine! To do this, we use our skills and experience to make reading enjoyable and easy.
In short, the book we create will look like it was published by one of the best traditional publishers. Why does it matter? Well, we give your book a head start – we set the tone and standards for your readers, even before they start to enjoy your content.
