People Do (in Part) Judge Books by Their Covers
Why Hire a Book Cover Design Pro?
The cliches about not judging books by their covers are many, but publishing industry insiders know differently. The right cover design looks equally good in thumbnail form on a bookselling website and in printed form on a store shelf. Covers need to communicate your title, fit the genre, and spark interest from the intended audience. It’s why successful authors hire professional book cover designers to do the job well. Books need distinctive identities to be noticed and taken seriously, and it’s not something you can take lightly. The goal is to make your book appeal to target readers and help spark sales.
Professional cover designers bring much to the table, including experience with what works in the market and a unique design point-of-view that helps your book stand out. They partner with you to design a cover that fits your vision, aligns with publishing trends, and draws on their knowledge of what works in your genre. Their mission is to make your book appealing to its target readers and give it an identity in the marketplace. They also assist you with the nuts-and-bolts aspects of cover design, like making eBook covers work for printed books and ensuring your digital thumbnail is eye-catching.
How Much Does a Book Cover Designer Cost?
There are widely varying prices in the online marketplace, but a 2Nimble Basic cover design costs $320, and our Deluxe cover design service is $450. Our rates are significantly lower than competitors, who quote professional book cover design fees in the $600 to $1,000 range, and with us you get experienced designers who are leaders in the field. We’re proud to offer first-rate design for one of the best prices in the industry. We’re firm believers that there’s no need to break the bank for an eye-catching cover that is as impactful as it is in good taste.
You’ve put months or years of work into writing your book, don’t cut corners on the cover design that will be crucial in its success. Different from some other parts of your self-publishing journey, having a professionally designed book cover is non-negotiable. Marketing research in the publishing industry shows time and again that the value of a well-designed cover is indisputably high. We’ll also give you suggestions about how to keep the cost of your cover design lower for a high-quality result.
How Do I Find the Right Cover Designer for My Book?
You’ll want to do some looking before deciding on a designer, keeping in mind your genre and the appropriateness of the designer’s style for your book. At 2Nimble, our goal is to make it easy and affordable for you to find the right fit. You’ll find that not many online book cover design resources make it as easy to find professional designers as we do. It’s helpful to develop a short project brief about your ideal design – book topic, genre, preferred colors and fonts, possible images, etc. – that you can share with the designers.
The best way to quickly and affordably get to a cover design you like and that will work well for your book is to be clear with your ideas and expectations. Your design brief is the starting point, and if it describes your thoughts clearly, it will serve as a catalyst for each designer’s thinking. New ideas will come up during the process, and it’s likely that what you envisioned initially will evolve. These are natural parts of the process, and your openness and flexibility are beneficial. The final decision remains yours, but it’s helpful to trust a designer’s advice and communicate openly.
Details Matter in Designing Book Covers Today
Designing book covers remains an art, but the online bookselling marketplace and the importance of eBooks have added some technical considerations to the process. For example, making sure your design is appropriately impactful in smaller or thumbnail sizes is crucial, and it also needs to work well for printed books if you plan to produce them. Physical books and their covers also have a host of technical needs related to the cover design. Our pros will help you navigate the processes successfully and make sure your design meets all the necessities. You’ll be happy with your choice when things run smoothly.
In nearly every aspect of publishing today, the key driver is the intense competition in the bookselling marketplace. Thousands of books are published each week, all competing for the attention of readers, critics, and the media. Book cover design is one of the most potent marketing elements available to you as an author, and you must ensure that you have the best. When you’re planning your book project, make sure you budget adequately for a cover. There are many excellent affordable book cover design services available; be sure to find the right one for your book.
