Design Tips For Writers - Tyler Wagner
Lets Make This Thing Look Pretty!
Welcome back! At this point in the Authors Unite book series, you either just finished getting your book edited or you’re in the middle of the editing process as we speak. You’re doing great. Keep up the awesome work.
I want to start of this book about design by asking you a question.
Do you judge books by their covers?
That’s not a trick question. Think about it. We’re all told don’t judge a book by its cover
from when we’re in kindergarten. But we all do it. We do it metaphorically, with cars and houses and other people. And we do it literally, with books.
Great content that’s had great editing will make sure that the people who read your book won’t be able to put it down.
