How to choose a book layout designer

On Reedsy, you'll find professionals who have worked with the likes of Anne Rice, George R.R. Martin, and Louise Penny. We handpick our designers for their industry experience: to guarantee the quality of your collaboration, only the top 3% of applicants are accepted. 

Here are a few things to consider when searching for your designer.

  1. Pay close attention to the professional’s sample portfolio. Reedsy allows you to search by genre so that you can find designers with a track record in your niche. Remember to browse their portfolios to ensure their style is the right fit for your book. 
  2. Select up to five book designers. Instead of pairing you up with a faceless professional, as many other services do, Reedsy enables you to pick your own designer. To maximize the possibility of a match, request quotes from up to five book designers. 
  3. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about the process. Whether it’s before or during your collaboration, every designer will welcome your interest in their craft. The clearer you are in expressing your vision, the smoother the collaboration will go.
