Custom Cover Design for Self-Publishing Writers

23 Jan

A cover has 8 seconds to attract attention.  Some experts say that potential buyers consider a front cover for 3 seconds and the back for an additional 5.

8 seconds…

Press Play to watch our Custom Cover Video

When it comes to self publishing a high quality book, there is no doubt that a strong cover is among one of the most important elements. And when it comes to strong, artistic, custom cover design, there is no doubt that the designers at Outskirts Press are at the top of their game.

Books are judged by their covers. After the months, years, or decades it took to write it, don’t drop the ball when it comes to the cover.  The optional Custom Cover Design option presents the author with two different original concepts based upon the author’s specific input.  Further refinements can be made to one of the concepts to arrive at a truly original, extraordinary cover that captures the tone and genre of each author’s book perfectly.

Not yet a published author with access to talented, artistic custom cover designers?
