Self-publishing Sales Will Soar When Your Book is Designed Well
Corporations spend millions of dollars on determining their product packaging. They spend months taking surveys and performing marketing tests. They hire people to analyze every word they use, and they pay top dollar for the best graphic designers. Those companies know that the proper packaging could mean the difference between having an industry-leading product, or a warehouse full of unsold merchandise. The same can be said about the design of your book.
Your book might be filled with prose that would make William Shakespeare blush, but you will be hard pressed to give copies away if your book’s art looks cheap and unprofessional. Many authors elect to hire freelance graphic artists to handle their book’s design and layout. That’s a great way to go if you can afford it. Less well-endowed authors can save a few dollars by handling their basic design on their own with computer software such as Quark or Adobe InDesign. Whichever way you decide to go, here are some things to consider regarding your book’s layout and design:
- Cover art. Your book’s cover will give readers their first impressions of your work. A well-designed cover furnishes readers with just enough information to spark their curiosity and make them want to look inside. If you are designing your own cover, remember that it will be laid out in one large piece that wraps over the book. Your printer will give you exact dimensions for your layout.
- Margins. An easy way to spot a book designed by an amateur is by checking the margins. Remember that the point of setting your margins is to make your book neat and easy to read. If your book’s inside margin is too small, readers will struggle with the words close to the bend of the book. A typical 6×9 inch book will have margins of ½ inch on the top, bottom and outside and ¾ inch on the inside. If you are struggling to find the correct parameters for your layout, consult your printer or publisher.
- Photos. Simply put, great photos sell books. Try to stay away from photos taken from common digital cameras. The image quality is fine for a scrapbook, but they will look very amateur in your professional product. Your photos should be professionally processed if at all possible. If you are processing your own photos using Adobe Photoshop or other processing software, do your best to highlight the key areas of your images. Crop out unnecessary portions of images. Always set the dots per inch (DPI) to at least 300, and adjust image sizes to fit the area needed. Contact your publisher or printer if you need help preparing your images.
- Full bleed. When an image goes to the edge of a page that is called a full bleed. A lot of designers like to use full bleeds to make images as large as possible. Each printer can inform you of their full bleed standards, but you should expect to extend your full bleed images by at least 1/8 inch beyond the edge of the page to avoid clipping. Be aware that many printers charge extra for full bleed processing.
- Shelf appeal. Your book should have a strong appeal to skimmers. Most readers will decide whether or not to purchase your book while standing in a bookstore or browsing online. One great way to hook potential buyers is with lots of quick facts or interesting information set in pullout boxes, illustrations, charts, graphs and crisp photos.
- File types. Be very cautious when you create or adjust any images using design software. Printers have very strict standards for the files they convert to plates. Some printers still prefer all images be .tiff files, but most accept .pdf files now. When you create a .pdf file you are flattening all of the layers of your layout into one image. This frequently causes problems for people who like to use design enhancements like drop shadows and color gradients. Talk to your printer or publisher to be sure all of your illustrated images are transferring properly.
- Keep it simple. Don’t go overboard with your layout. If you are not an experienced designer, trying to do too much will just highlight your inadequacies. Make sure your bases are covered. Have clean margins. Justify your type. Allow plenty of space between your images and text.
