You deserve more than a title pasted on a photo for your book cover. The inside design should also reflect your style and your brand as well! Your book cover will be a multi-layered work of art that fits with your brand and message. It will be a collaborative effort with your input and approval and Michelle works until you're satisfied with the result! Sample packages are available below; however, your project will be custom-quoted based on your specific needs. 

Why should you use Michelle's services? If you have a book idea and have always wanted to have that resource to reach your audience, this is your opportunity to get your message published faster than the traditional method, and you'll keep all of the royalties in your own pocket since you're the publisher!

What sets Michelle apart from other companies is that you get personalized service and her full attention.She offers authors a boutique experience; she isn't a big design company or an agency with a lot of departments for you to work with. You get her focus during the time set aside for your project. You'll communicate directly with her by phone, Zoom, or email, and she won't be working on ten book projects all at once.

Tips for getting a book you'll be proud to share with others:

  • Have your book professionally edited. First, a copy edit is important to make sure grammar, punctuation, and wording are correct. Second, a proofread is a necessary final step to be sure everything is in order. *
  • Have your book professionally designed. Can you create your own book cover in Word? Uh. Yes. But you do get what you pay for. 
  • Have the interior of your book professionally done with a graphic layout, not a Word document converted to a PDF. Again, it can be done, but it won't lead to your best finished product. 

*Michelle only designs books that she has edited.

Cover Design

Cover design (includes full print cover option with unlimited revisions until you’re satisfied, Michelle's stock images and fonts provided at no extra cost, a cover only version for Kindle, a graphic to share on social media about the book release, and 3D image of the book cover to use for your website)

 

Page Design

Interior Book Design/Layout. You receive a PDF ready to upload to KDP for publishing. Interior is grayscale in color (black and white images only) for most books. Your interior will coordinate with the outside of the book in terms of look and feel, including fonts and images, if you choose to include them. Details include pull quotes in callout boxes, subheadings, graphics, etc., depending on the level of complexity  you purchase in a package.

Michelle does not work with textbooks that require an extensive index.

 

eBook Design

eBook design includes a version that is as similar to your print version as possible. The file will be ready for uploading to Amazon KDP.
