If you are traditionally published, your publisher will take charge of your book's interior page formatting and book cover design. You might have some input, but ultimately, they'll make the decisions.

Self-publishing resources like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) offer a whole new way of creating and distributing books, allowing authors to take complete control of their book's visual brand and design it as they see fit. This includes everything from the interior page formatting to the book cover design.

Our book design portfolio contains pieces designed at both ends of this spectrum and includes some projects that fall somewhere in between.
