How Much Will It Cost To Design A Book Cover?

We all know that have a professionally designed book cover can make all the difference when it comes to sales. A professional cover will indicate to the reader that you are a proper writer, that you have taken pride and care over your novel, and will be more eye-catching and intriguing to them, motivating them to buy.

However, some authors fret over the costs of book cover design and this can put them off seeking out the help of a professional. So let's investigate exactly how much a book cover design is going to set you back, and what’s included in the price. 

Of course, there is no precise figure for the cost of a book cover as projects vary greatly as do the amount that designers charge. Cost can basically scale up or down depending on how much time designers spend working on it. So if it’s a simple cover with stock photography, this will naturally cost less than a uniquely designed cover with lots of intricate artwork. 

What do you get for your money?

By hiring a professional book cover designer, you are paying for studio time where the designer will listen to your ideas and get to know what your book is about and what genre it has written in. They will then choose professional licensed stock photos and graphics to make up the cover. The book designers need to purchase the graphics, so they will include this when costing up your cover design. Images usually cost around £5-10.

You might think about trying to source images yourself for your book cover. While there are lots of free images available online they may only be for personal rather than commercial use or may require attribution which you obviously won’t be able to give on your cover. If you use them and don’t credit the photographer you could get in a lot of trouble. 

Your book cover designer will also have access to commercial fonts which they can use to create the title for your book and add the blurb at the back and your author name. Book designers usually have a large library of already purchased commercial fonts to choose from. However, if they do think a new font that they haven’t already bought would be the perfect fit for your book, they may well up the price of the cover - but should always discuss this with you first. 

A professional book cover designer should always explain exactly what is included in their costing before you agree to choose them. They should be happy to send you a full breakdown of what will be included in the fee and the total cost of the project. Book cover designers who try to add on lots of extras as the project develops are not reputable and should be avoided.

You can also discuss with your cover designer whether the costs include any amends. That is if you don’t like the design or have some feedback or tweaks, will they allow these changes to be made for free, or will these cost extra? Being clear about everything from the outset will ensure that you are both on the same page. 

Reasons why you should pay for professional book cover design

Books are judged by the covers and a professional design will massively increase the chances of you selling more books. You know that your book cover will work if you decide to sell printed copies of your book and that they’ll use the latest technology and software to produce the best possible version. You ever will be unique, genre-specific, and something to be proud of!

The average cost of book cover design is varied, but usually between £250 and £450 for using stock imagery and anything up to £1500 if the artwork is produced bespoke for you. However, it really is an investment worth making!

How To Get An ISBN For Your Book

Did you know that the UK publishing and bookselling market is one of the largest in the world? People in Britain love to read, and people in Britain love to write.

When you purchase a book you may or may not have noticed that there is a code that appears on the cover and that is the book’s ISBN.

The ISBN is the book’s unique identifier. No two books will have the same. 

If you're looking to publish your book this year, you need to make sure that you obtain and ISBN before you release it. 

ISBN Numbers - The basics

An ISBN is a 13 digit number that helps to identify the novel, though books published before 2007 will only have 10 digits. Each edition of every book published will have this unique set of numbers, so if you republish your book in the future you will need a new ISBN for that edition. The ISBN serves to identify the title of the book as well as it’s format and edition. 

ISBN stands for 'International Standard Book Number.' They are used in the U and overseas. However if your book is published in the UK and subsequently in a different country, a new ISBN will be issued for that edition. 

Why do we have ISBN’s

ISBN’s allow publishers, booksellers and those who buy your books to understand where the book was published. This helps ensure they pick the right version. 

ISBN - a breakdown

The first three digits are prefixed and will either be 978 or 979.

After this the next 5 are to indicate the nation or geographical region of publication.

The next 7digits or fewer will inform of the publisher or imprint of the text.

Then 6 digits or fewer can single out the particular edition of a title 

Finally there is a check digit (1 digit), and this validates the rest of the number in terms of mathematics.

You can find the ISBN on the back cover the book, usually located by the barcode. For eBooks there is a slight difference as they don’t included on the cover and will instead be found amongst the details of the order page. 

To purchase an ISBN you can go online to https://bookisbn.org.uk/ or https://www.nielsenisbnstore.com/ the cost is around £80 though you may need to pay more for the image of the barcode. 

Once you have received your ISBN you need to register it which you can do on websites like Nielsen Books. It is also possible to download forms to apply for an ISBN and post these, though this natural takes longer. 

An online ISBN can be yours as soon as the information has been processed. If you choose to fill out the form and post it, you may have to wait around a week to receive your number. 

Do ISBNs Expire?

Your ISBN is yours permanently and won’t expire or stop working. 

So now you know all about ISBN’s when you come to publish your next novel you can make sure you follow the process and have everything in place for your upcoming release.

Why Do Authors Use Pen Names?

If you’ve ever had the urge to assume a different identity when writing, you are not alone. Lots of authors decide to use pen names instead of their real names when writing a book.

What is a pen name?

A pen name is a name that an author will assume and choose to publish under rather than using their given name. Doing so is a personal choice and is completely legal. The name you choose would appeal to the book's cover and also be used in any marketing material relating to the book, so if you do decide to do this, it’s important that you are completely happy with your choice!

Choosing a pseudonym can be lots of fun, but it's important to take this seriously. Try to think of a catchy name and one that is relevant to your story and suited to your target audience. 

What are the reasons for choosing a pen name?

You might think it’s a little strange to change your name when writing a book. After all, it was you who put the blood, sweat, and tears into creating it, why wouldn’t you want all the credit? There are lots of reasons why you might choose to use a pen name instead.

To better suit the genre

If you come up with a pen name that perfectly suits your genre, this could make your book stand out. For example, if you are writing a romance or erotic novel you could use a name such as “Scarlett Fox” or if you are writing a horror novel, and a name like “Damien Black.”

To separate your different works

If you write across multiple genres you might consider giving yourself a pseudonym for the books you write in one genre and use your real name for the books you write in another. This helps ensure you don’t confuse fans of your work who tend to prefer authors to pick a genre and stick with it. If you write a popular romance novel and then release a hard-boiled detective fiction as your next book, romance fans might buy it expecting more of the same, and then be very disappointed.

Because your own name is difficult to spell or pronounce

If you have a name that’s difficult to pronounce or difficult to spell, using s pseudonym can help to make it easier for fans to find you and remember you. 

Because another writer has the same name as you

If another writer shares a name with you, you may wish to choose a pen name so as not to create any confusion. 

Because you want to separate your working and personal life

Depending on the kind of novel you write, you may also wish to keep your real identity secret. If you write erotica for example, for privacy reasons you might not wish your family and friends to know you are the author. 

To avoid gender stereotyping

Unfortunately gender stereotyping does still exist and some readers may believe that thriller novels are best written by men and romances are best written by women. While this is a very old-fashioned notion, some authors choose neutral pen names, for example by just using their initials so their gender is not revealed.

Both publishers and self-publishing platforms like Amazon KDP will happily accept authors who want to use a pen name.

Here are some examples of authors who decided to take on a pseudonym for some of their work:

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson — AKA Lewis Carroll 

Samuel Clemens - AKA Mark Twain

James D. Grant - AKA Lee Child

Daniel Handler — AKA Lemony Snicker

Agatha Christie — AKA Mary Westmacott

Stanley Martin Lieber -  AKA Stan Lee

Joanne Rowling - AKA J.K. Rowling & Robert Galbraith

Theodore Seuss Geisel — AKA Dr. Seuss

Eric Blair — AKA George Orwell

Agatha Christie — AKA Mary Westmacott

Stephen King — AKA Richard Bachman

So are you going to use a pen name for your next novel? Let us know in the comments if you are, or already do!

Questions To Ask Yourself Before You Start Writing A Book

Writing a book is no mean feat, and if you have a book inside you that's dying to be written, it's a good idea to ask yourself a few questions to gain insight into your own motivation and the (often grueling) writing process before you begin. Writer Joseph Epstein wrote that "81 % of Americans feel that they have a book in them." That's approximately 200 million people just in the USA who would like to be writers! Many people feel they have a book to write, yet the proportion of those who go on to start and finish their books is a small fraction of this. 

So if you want to be in the rather elite group of people who do manage to write their books, it's worth asking yourself the following before you begin:

Why am I doing this?

Understanding your motivation for writing a book is very important. You need to be clear on your end goals and then always have them in mind as you write. You might be doing this to be a world-famous writer, or because you will never feel satisfied unless you try, or because it seems like a fun hobby to explore. All reasons are valid, but being able to define them clearly can be helpful.

Is my idea good enough?

Be honest about your book idea, and don't start to write your book until you've unpacked it, probed it, and fleshed it out a little. If you've been struck by inspiration or have had the same idea for years, make sure that you've done some research around it and that you feel confident you can write an entire book with the material before you begin.

Who will want to read this?

Does your book have a ready-made audience? Who are your ideal readers? Where can you find them? Being clear on who will want to read your book and doing some audience research can help ensure you are writing a story that will have readers!

Do I have the time?

Writing a book takes time and commitment, and it's also essential to figure out how you'll find the time to write. Create your writing schedule before you begin, and set yourself small and more significant goals to help keep you motivated along your writing journey. 

Can I handle rejection?

If you intend to publish your book, it's a good idea to consider whether you'll be able to handle rejection. Publishers, agents, reviewers, readers (or the lack of them) can all be harsh and demotivating and pretty tough to handle. Writers need to be prepared for that and be confident they'll be OK with the rejection that, in most cases, is pretty inevitable. 

Who is my support network?

Having a great support network can also help make the writing journey so much easier. Think about who you have to support you, and consider joining writing groups for that additional level of professional support and advice too.

Have I told my family and friends?

Your family and friends can be an invaluable source of support but can also be incredibly obstructive when it comes to book writing if you don't give them fair warning. If you want to give yourself the best chance of success, make sure they understand what you are trying to achieve, how you hope to achieve it, and how important it is to you.

How will I motivate myself?

Writer motivation can be a big problem, so take the time to think about what motivates you, and have some tried and tested methods in place ready to put into action when your motivation wanes.

By asking yourself the above questions, you can help to prepare yourself for the journey ahead. Preparation is critical, and by being realistic and honest with yourself from the outset, you will give yourself the best chance of making it through.

Writers! Are You Paying Attention To Your Mental Health?

Creativity and mental health have been speculated about over the decades and explored on many occasions. We all know about those famous creative people who found their artistic genius something of a curse, sometimes with dire consequences.

However, being creative can have many positive health benefits too, and lots of therapy uses innovative methods such as writing to help people suffering from mental health issues explore and take back control of their problems.

While writers are no more susceptible to mental health issues than anyone else, it is vital to be aware of some of the problems that writers commonly face, which can take their toll on their wellbeing. Let’s explore some of them and what we can do about it. 

Feeling lonely

Writing can be a fairly solitary pursuit. Writers can spend a great deal of time alone and work by themselves. 

Writer burnout

Writers may burn the candle at both ends, and when an idea takes hold, it can be challenging to remember to take breaks and know when to stop.

Writer’s block

When writer’s block strikes, writers can lose their motivation, their sense of purpose and can become incredibly frustrated and feel as though they are stuck in a rut.

Self-doubt and criticism

Writers are often their own worst critics and are full of crippling self-doubt, never believing they are good enough or that their work is of value.

Writer’s and rejection

Writers often suffer from years of rejection, and no matter how hard they try or how much effort they put into their work, they can get little to no reward.

So if you are feeling as though writing is taking its toll on your mental health, what can you do about it? 

Use your writing to help explore your feelings

Writers have a fantastic gift - they are used to writing and exploring thoughts and feelings for their work. So if you are feeling down, write about it and try to find some catharsis in that. 

Be aware of the signs

Stay alert to signs of depression, frustration, stress, anxiety, and burnout so that you can act fast if they do strike.

Know when to stop

Give yourself regular breaks, holidays, and try to work within normal working hours to avoid exhaustion and burnout. Make sure that writing doesn’t completely overtake your life and have other things to look forward to.

Gather a great support network

Try to find supportive family members and friends you can talk to, join writers groups, and find like-minded professionals to help keep you grounded.

Remember to stay active and get out into the world

Keeping physically well will also help to keep your mental health strong. Get fresh air and exercise, eat well, drink water, and you’ll find that you’ll feel strong and positive throughout the day. 

Get help when you need it

If you do feel lost, confused, depressed, or that you can’t cope, don’t be afraid to reach out to someone who can help you. 

Paying attention to your mental health is something that everyone should do more of. Being aware of when you are suffering or warning signs can help you take swift action and ensure that you stay positive, motivated, and healthy as you continue along your writer’s journey.

Simple Steps To Finding Your Agent

Looking for a book publishing agent? It’s not as easy as you might think! Unfortunately, nowadays the competition for finding an agent can be just as high as finding a publisher. However, doing so could be your key to success when it comes to finding an audience for your book. 

To find the right literary agent for your project, you’ll need to put the work in and spend time finding the best way to sell yourself and your work. You’ll also need to do lots of research to find the right agent for you. 

However, if you follow our simple steps, we can make the process of finding an agent so much easier. So let’s take a look at how to go about it. 

Find out whether you really need one

If you are a fiction author, the truth is, if you can get a literary agent, you’ll have a much better chance of success. Writers & Artists editor, Alysoun Owen, reveals: "Nearly all fiction authors do require the representation of a literary agent if their book is to be produced by a traditional publishing house. And that is also true with some forms of general non-fiction too — such as histories, memoirs, and biographies.”

If your goal as a writer is to be published by a big publishing house, you also certainly need an agent to get your foot in the door. If your book is more niche, you might not. 

Who doesn't need a literary agent?

Nonfiction writers, and poets, and those who have written a novel in a very specific and narrow genre are less likely to need an agent. If you’ve written academic or educational work, you also are more likely to be commissioned directly by a publisher. 

Nowadays many authors also choose to self-publish, which also naturally eliminates the need for an agent!

So now you have determined whether you require one, what are the next steps?

Do your research and make a list

Agents need writers to make money. So you just need to find the agent that’s dying to represent you! It’s your job to discover which agents are looking for authors like you. Put together a shortlist of agents that specialize in your genre. You can use directories such as The Writers & Artists Year Book, or Agent Query, or Publishers Marketplace to help you. Some questions to ask yourself before adding them to your shortlist could be:

Do they represent books in my genre?

Are they looking for new authors?

Does their website and promise appeal to me?

What's their client list ?

Have they had a lot of success?

Are they legitimate?

The last point is important to ensure you don’t waste your time. Agents that ask for a fee upfront are usually not worth bothering with. 

Send your query

Whatever you do, don’t send out a generic query letter. Make sure you have taken the time to personalize it and write each one separately. This takes more time, but tailoring your query is essential. Agents will spot generic queries a mile off, and they won’t be impressed. Your query letter should be nothing short of perfection. Read the submission guidelines and follow them. 

Follow up if you don’t hear back

Agents are very busy and often inundated with requests. Lots of agents let you know how long to wait before sending a follow-up. But don’t be afraid to get in touch again if you haven’t had a response. No news isn’t necessarily bad news after all!

Don’t just say yes!

While receiving a positive response from an agent can be very exciting, don’t just say yes right away. It’s still important to ensure you feel comfortable and happy that this agent is the right agent for you before you sign the contract. Remember if one agent wants to represent you, others probably will as well. 

Don’t rush into any decisions, you only get one shot to get this right!

Finding an agent can take time and effort, but by following these steps you can give yourself the best chance of success and make sure that when you do land your agent, they are the perfect one to sell your book. Good luck!

Choosing The Right Kind Of Editor For Your Book

We all know that when the time is right, hiring a professional editor can be the best way to ensure that our book is in top condition before we publish it, or send it off in the hope that an agent or traditional publishing house might take it on.

However, not all editors are created equal, and understanding the different types of editors out there is crucial if you want to feel assured that you are making the best choice for your book. 

Let’s first examine some of the differences between Copyediting and Proofreading. 

The end goal of both these types of proofreading is to improve the content of the book. However, copy editing is usually what a person would do first. Proofreading is the very detailed and final look to ensure that nothing has been missed and that the book is completely flawless. 

While copy editing ensures that spelling mistakes and grammar errors are fixed, in professional publishing this is more nuanced and the copy editor will likely be following a particular style, for example, Chicago Manual style - to ensure that the book is consistent throughout.

The majority of copy editors will also offer additional services than just making sure the text is correct. They can also look at other important elements such as readability, ensuring that the words flow and the prose is accurate. Essentially, they will make suggestions to help make your sentences read better. 

A proofreader is like a book inspector. They will go through your text and be eagle-eyed to any errors. The proofreader will be the last port of call before your book is published or goes to print. A proofreader isn’t just hunting for typos, they will also make sure that the page numbering is correct, the indexing is accurate, the text is aligned, the word spacing and paragraphing is correct. Their job is to ensure that no reader, however meticulous and eagle-eyed, will have anything to complain about when they part with their hard-earned cash to buy a copy of your novel.

It’s possible that a proofreader may also offer a fact-checking service for certain types of novels, though this is less common.

So, which service is the one for you?

If you’re an indie author and you want to self-publish your book, you should try to do the majority of editing yourself before passing it over to a professional. After you have finalized your structure and you are happy with how your story reads, only then should you hire a copy editor. If you are likely to move things around or eliminate passages, hold fire.

All authors should hire a copyeditor to go through their work. However, if your budget allows it, hiring a proofreader to give your book that final polish could also elevate it ahead of the competition. It’s always best to hire two separate people (even though your copy editor may also offer a proofreading service) as this way you’ll get a fresh set of eyes on your book. 

Once you’ve finished the proofreading stage of your book, you’ll finally be ready to publish and you can rest assured that you’ve done everything you can to ensure that your book will reach its full potential.

How To Create The Perfect Coffee Table Book

Writers may try their hand at many different creative projects over the course of their career, and if you are in between projects you might want to discover something a little different.

Creating a beautiful coffee table book can be a rewarding and satisfying project that you can treasure forever, and make money from too. 

So what are some of the things you need to consider when creating a coffee book?

What’s the theme?

All coffee table books have to have a certain theme, though this really can be anything. From animal photography to beautiful parts of the world to interior design to something really specific like insects, coffee cups, or camper vans, you can choose anything you like. All that’s important is that your theme appeals to people and your images are attention-grabbing enough to keep them interested.

Curating your pictures

Once you have a theme, you need to pull together your best pictures. Make sure you keep your target audience in mind as you do. You might think about sharing some of your intended images via your social accounts and getting feedback so you can make sure that you include the most popular ones in your book.

Design and layout

Your publisher will provide a design and layout for your book, however, you should have already come up with an outline of how you want your book to look as well as a specific format in mind. Your pictures need to be converted into the optimum format for the publisher. High-res digital pictures usually give the best effect. High-quality pictures are imperative if you want your coffee table book to be successful.

The design of the book is what gives it its personality. Go to your local bookshop for inspiration and to understand the breadth of your choices. Your design will link to your theme and your chosen audience so if your theme is youthful and vibrant, make sure that your design choices reflect this. 

Options for publishing

You can choose to submit your book to a traditional publishing house or to self-publish. While a traditional publishing house will have more resources available to you in terms of design, marketing, and distribution, they will also have editorial control. Self-publishing can be an exciting way to create the coffee table book that you want, but the cost of production is all on you. Choosing your paper with care as well as deciding on the size will all have an effect on production costs. 

A coffee table book can be a fantastic way to express your style, hobbies, and interests on a particular subject. If you have a gift for photography and are passionate about a topic, turn your art into a coffee table book, and not only will you have a lovely thing to be proud of, but could make some sales too!
