Premium Book Interior and Cover Design Services
Tradition Infused with Modern Design DNA
As a premium book interior design firm, The Book Makers specializes in crafting beautiful book interiors that meld modern typography with bookmaking traditions that date back over five-hundred years. This unique blend of craftsmanship and modern elements is what creates our unique design DNA. It is in every book we create and our books real impact.
The Ultimate Interior Design
The Book Makers’ innovative book production technology delivers the quality typesetting and layout for a professional finish that will make your book stand above the others. We specialize in producing high quality print and eBooks for discerning clients who want the best for their readers.
Bulletproof Layout for Print and eBook
Bulletproof Layouts are our premium book interior design choices. These pre-designed layouts are far from standard, as we have put thousands of hours of research and development into these designs to assure that they are rock-solid and deliver outstanding results every time, in print and eBook editions.
Cover Design Sells Books
Books are often judged by their covers, and your book cover is the marketing face of your book, or its brand. Your cover must appeal to your audience and grab their attention within seconds. The Book Makers Cover Designers know the most important qualities that go into successful book covers, and how to best communicate what your book is about in an instant.
Highly Skilled Editors
A well edited book is one that reads well. Nothing is more frustrating for a reader than reading a book filled with grammatical and typographical errors. Correct punctuation and solid spelling are also core fundamentals of a well written work.
Audio Books that Sound Incredible
With a professionally produced audiobook, your listeners will experience your work in stunning clarity with real impact. We offer narration services for both fiction and non-fiction works that sound as good as your book reads.
Our Designs are built for the 21st Century Author
Reading in the 21st century never looked so good. At the Bookmakers, we apply our bulletproof designs to your digital eBook interiors just the way we do with our print editions. With thousands of hours behind our technology platforms, we build eBooks that are compatible with the entire range of eReader devices, books that work every time and have a style that compliments your print book.
