If you want your e-book to sell, converting it properly is absolutely essential.
You can attempt to do it yourself, or you can hire a book designer whose one job is to make sure your e-book looks fantastic no matter where your reader is buying it.
The process begins with professional copy editing or proofreading. As a writer, you cannot effective proofread your own work. I know. I’ve tried. It is not expensive and well worth the investment. At Graham Publishing Group, our team includes professionals who do nothing but copy edit and proof read books before they go into production. Readers do not want to see mistakes in your book any more than you do.
The next phase of the book design process is creating the best possible book cover, one that represents you, your book, and your message. Many writers rely on friends or acquaintances to design their book cover. It sounds romantic, but make sure it is in the best interest of your book and really contributes to its appeal and thus its sales. Of course, we are going to recommend hiring a professional book cover designer, because that is one of our specialties at Graham Publishing Group. The process we use is not overly expensive, gives you a number of options to choose from, and is highly respectful of your view of what the cover should look like.
You may have heard the term: interior book layout. There is no way to over emphasize how important this is to your e-book (and your print book) and how it can affect sales. Every e-book platform, from Amazon and Barnes and Noble to Google Books and smartphones, uses a different format. What does this mean? It means that one size does not fit all. You want the interior of your book to be designed specifically for each platform. When your book hits a reader’s specific device – whether it is a Kindle, an iPhone, or a laptop – you want the text to look fantastic.
Remember one other thing when considering the conversion of your book to an e-book. It is not just your reader you are trying to impress. You are trying to impress book reviewers and book bloggers. If your e-book is professionally done, these people are much more likely to give their time to reading and reviewing your book, which, of course, can only help sales.
