Book design for independent authors

Your book deserves better than a cover with clip art.

Stop letting your brilliant ideas hide behind mediocre design. It’s time your book dressed for success.

Hey there, I’m Jess, the design wizard behind Jess Creatives. When I’m not making websites, I’m turning bland books into eye-catching masterpieces. Because let’s face it, in the world of self-publishing, standing out is the new fitting in. (I know, because I’m also an author myself!)

I’ll work with you to create a book that doesn’t just tell your story – it screams it from the rooftops. No more looking like every other “7 Steps to Success” snoozer on the shelf.

And guess what? I do both covers AND interiors. Because a book with a stunning cover and boring insides is like a Twinkie – all flash, no substance. If you’re looking for an editor, I recommend Jodi Brandon Editorial. (Your book will thank you!)

I’ve designed:

  • Non-fiction books
  • Cookbooks
  • Memoirs
  • Trade books
  • Kindle books
  • Annual reports

Now, for those of you ready to go all-in on your literary masterpiece, I’ve got a deal that’s hotter than your book is about to be.

For a cool $2,500, you can snag both a show-stopping cover design AND an interior layout that’s smoother than your protagonist’s pick-up lines. That’s right, for less than the cost of a used car (and infinitely more useful), you can have a book that looks as good as it reads.

This isn’t just design, folks. It’s literary armor, protecting your brilliant ideas from the deadly sin of being overlooked. Because in the jungle of self-publishing, your book needs to be a peacock, not a pigeon.

Remember, you’re not just publishing a book – you’re launching a brand. And nothing says “take me seriously” like a professionally designed book that can hold its own against the big publishing houses.

Let’s chat about turning your manuscript into a magnum opus that’ll make readers swoon and competitors seethe.

Because life’s too short for boring books, and your ideas are too good for Comic Sans. 

(p.s. – we also need to make sure your author website is in tip-top shape!)
