She advises writers who are on a tight budget to check online for affordable pre-designed packages, or, for design contests where you might be able to get your cover designed for free. You won&#39;t be able to provide much input in the design if you go this route, but the price will be a better fit for your budget. If you can afford to hire a designer to custom design a book cover be sure it is a collaborative effort, Willis says. Make sure the designer understands your book genre, audience, and key points of your storyline. And, most importantly, if you are given a design that you don&#39;t like or that doesn&#39;t work, speak up.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-79/Utilizing-Budget_2D00_Friendly-Design-Options-for-Self_2D00_Publishing-Your-Book.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../Utilizing-Budget_2D00_Friendly-Design-Options-for-Self_2D00_Publishing-Your-Book.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/design/w/cover/6806/utilizing-budget-friendly-design-options-for-self-publishing-your-book/revision/1Fri, 09 Mar 2018 17:52:57 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:ea774c1c-c587-45f7-994b-295a872ac483Valerie Willishttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/design/w/cover/6806/utilizing-budget-friendly-design-options-for-self-publishing-your-book#commentsRevision 1 posted to Cover by Valerie Willis on 3/9/2018 5:52:57 PM<br /> <p>Hiring a designer to create a custom book cover can be costly, but it doesn&#39;t have to be as author and former graphic designer Valerie Willis explains.
