Your book is written, edited and almost ready for publishing… so, what’s next?
Any book only has a few seconds to catch its’ reader’s attention, so therefore a strong and striking book cover is key to an authors’ success. And whatever we might believe (more often than not at least), we all ‘judge a book by its’ cover’ at some point in our lives. Cover design needs to look good and create sales.
A professional cover design will clearly reflect the genre and target market of your book. Additionally, it can convey the brand of your series or your author style to your audience – helping you to promote your book or series with your author brand in mind.
An effective book cover design should be:
- Compelling – Does it intrigue you? Does it invite you to read the blurb and ask questions?
- Clear – Does it communicate your books title, genre and feel clearly to your target audience?
- Aesthetically pleasing – Does it look good and attract readers?
These packages are ideal for both fiction and non-fiction writers, whatever your budget, I can support you with your next cover design.

Defining a brand for your pen name or book series ensures that your messaging is clear and reaches your audience in a way that truly reflects your genre, writing style and books.
There are two sides to creating a brand – the Brand Strategy and Brand Identity.
Creating a Brand Strategy makes sure that your mission, vision, values and persona are reflected in your visual brand elements. It also supports you in building the foundations of your business within the publishing industry.
The Brand Identity is the second part to the process and is all about the visuals – it is what carries and conveys the messaging in your Brand Strategy to your audience, such as through a logo, colours, fonts, use of language, photography and so on… Your Brand Strategy and Brand Identity support one another.
Author Branding is a bespoke process, unique to you and your world of writing, the solution is different for every writer and their needs.
So what’s really important is that your book, website and brand truly reflect both you the author and your books successfully to your audience.
