Irresistible Book Design for Self-Publishers

You've spent countless hours perfecting your manuscript. Let the rest of the book publishing process be easy!

I'm Jennifer Omner, owner of ALL Publications and an award-winning book designer, serving as a guide through the book publishing maze. After your book has been professionally edited, I offer the following services.

• Interior book design: making the pages of your book look pleasing to read and formatting the file correctly for offset printing presses or print on demand.

• Cover design: making your book cover shine above the competition so it's the one purchased. Take advantage of my marketing background here.

• E-book design: creating ePub and Mobi files so your book can be read on a Kindle, Nook, iPad, iPhone, and other e-readers.

• Book publishing numbers: helping you obtain the appropriate numbers for your book including ISBN, bar code, and Library of Congress Control Number. Please visit my Resources page and see the links under Book Publishing Numbers.

• Book printing: ensuring the files of your book comply with printer's specifications and meet prepress standards. Matching your specific book with a compatible, quality book printer and coordinating the process through delivery to you. Or recommending sources if your print run is under 500 books. If you are planning to use Lightning Source or CreateSpace, I know their file specifications.

• Marketing material for authors: designing business cards, bookmarks, and postcards to promote your book.

• Marketing tips: enter your email address in the box above to receive my free, twice monthly e-newsletter.

Current Book Tip

Discussion of fixed layout e‑books versus “apps” (applications) arose from my last e‑newsletter. Apps are software, generally designed with interactivity. What I’ve heard in the publishing industry is that book apps are expensive to create and sales are negligible. I checked with my client Paul Gerald who had a book app developed for Breakfast in Bridgetown and he said his sales are 96% for the print book, 3.8% for the e‑book, and 0.2% for the app. Results may vary for your book/subject matter. (I design print and e-books, but not apps.)
