Promise: How to Create a Book Cover that Sells
First of all, if you are thinking of publishing a book, or if you have already published a book and you aren’t getting good sales or have gotten some bad reviews, you may want to consider hiring a professional book designer. The tendency today in independent publishing, self- publishing, is to do it yourself, and that’s, for lack of a better term, a crap-shoot. You are going to be in the wild wild west of not knowing what you want to do, not meeting the printer’s specifications, and just not having a very professional design.
I think that if you’re serious about publishing your book… This is a business. Independent publishing, or self-publishing, is a business. You’ve got to treat it that way. To do that, you’ve got to hire professionals. I would say, first and foremost, for authors who design their own books, or want to, take a hard look at your skills, and be honest, and step back a little bit because you really do need to be very objective about your goals. It’s a profession, and you get what you pay for in this industry, so you really do need to hire a professional.
Do people really judge a book by its cover? Absolutely, and in fact, it’s the gateway to your book. So you’ve got a very, very short timespan to really capture someone’s attention, no matter what the genre.
It is a cliché, but it’s a truism. It’s like showing a home. It’s curb appeal. It’s whatever pops and strikes your fancy. It doesn’t mean it has to be a pretty cover, it just means that it has to do its job. If it’s a non-fiction business finance book, does it target that audience? If it’s a historical fantasy fiction book, does it target that audience? Those are crucial elements to any book’s design, especially if you want to get the attention quickly.
