5 Tips to Designing a Great Book Cover

  1. An good book cover design visually delivers a book's theme/message and can give off feelings of excitement and anticipation for discovering further adventures or insights.
  2. Many books are purchased off of a shelf which means that your book only has a few seconds to attract reader. This means that it should be eye-catching and attractive.
  3. A well designed cover gives your book more purchase value. In order to set a price on your book that is current with today's market - you need to invest in a good book design!
  4. Make sure that your entire book is designed appropriately. Readers look at the spine, front cover and back cover before promptly making the decision to buy.
  5. After skimming many books on a shelf, the book with the best design is usually purchased. Books with interesting and well designed covers and spines win.
Book Cover Design—Eighty percent of all books are sold based on the cover alone. The cover design is the single most important marketing tool used to sell your book. Many times the design of your cover will determine its placement on bookstore shelves and displays. A cover must be suitable for its content and, equally important, it must have a high quality appearance.
