Book Design for
Self Publishing AuthorsProfessional book design that you can be proud of.
Book Design Services
Open Heart Designs provides exceptional book design services for self-publishing authors, small presses, academic presses, and traditional publishing houses.
BOOK COVER DESIGN
Contrary to the popular saying, books are judged by their covers. I work with you to understand your vision for the cover design, combine it with my creativity, and produce a unique cover that you love.
INTERIOR FORMATTING
I will take your completely edited, final Word manuscript and design the interior pages and format them for self-publishing services such as KDP Print, Ingram Spark or any printer you choose to work with.
PRINT ON DEMAND SET UP
Need help getting your book submitted to print-on-demand sites? I can help with the details, including title set up, uploading cover and interior files, order proofs, and setting distribution channels
EBOOK CONVERSION
Another great way to reach readers is to convert your print book to a format that can be read on e-readers, such as Kindle and iPad. Using your completed print book files I will create a great-looking validated and reflowable epub for upload to any ebook platform.
PUBLISHING NUMBERS
Confused about how to get an ISBN, how many you need, a barcode for the back cover, a number from the Library of Congress, or how to register your manuscript with the Copyright office?
I can help!
PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
Do you have a marketing plan for your book? Using design elements from your cover and/or interior I can create promotional graphics for social media, your website and other marketing avenues to help you spread the word about your new book. Ideas include postcards, business cards, bookmarks, flyers, and signage.
