    My name is Kiryl and I would be happy to help you with: • Book, e-book and magazine covers for print and e-distribution. • Layout design and typesetting. Usually it takes 1-2 days to create the first drafts and then another 3-5 days to complete the project. But, of course, it could be done faster if needed. Please review my portfolio and, of course, feel free to ask any questions.

    Specialties: Reflowable ebook design for ePub and mobi (Kindle) Proofreading I produce ebook code by hand, rather than using a conversion software. This ensures cross-platform compatibility, accurate links, reflowable text, aesthetic design, and overall excellent UX while maintaining clean, readable, minimalist code. I provide an ePub that will fully validate for Kindle, iTunes, Nook, or any other distributor. I can also troubleshoot ebooks that have already been created using a conversion software, if that's what you need. I have experience creating ebooks of all levels of complexity, including novels, reference books with hundreds of footnotes, cookbooks, some picture books, etc. If a print design has been created already, I can match the look and feel of it skillfully in ebook form. I am able to craft basic designs "from scratch," as well, but graphic design itself is not my specialty, so for more in-depth graphic layouts I would defer to someone else for the initial design. I am also an editor with an eye for detail, which gives you the added benefit of an extra eye skimming over your content. While I don't spend extra time proofreading unless it's agreed upon as part of the contract, I do make a habit of noting any typos or inconsistencies I may encounter along the way and passing them along to you, the client. I can also do some formatting for print, as needed, using InDesign software. Note: Not interested in content creation or ghostwriting.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ""I was beyond impressed with Eisen and cannot sing her praises enough. I contacted her for some simple design work to format a whitepaper and she blew it out of the water with just my brand guidelines, the content, and a very loose example. I gave little to no direction and she delivered a piece of collateral that was above and beyond what I could have asked for. I then asked her to turn a sales word document into a presentation and again, like magic, she delivered a beautiful and well-thought-out format that I could not have even begun to imagine. Eisen nails it every time in a beautiful, efficient and timely manner. If you need design work and need it fast, she is it."" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Eisen is highly skilled, efficient and fast! I could not ask for a better collaborator. Her layout work is consistently excellent, she makes updates quickly, and when I needed a wholesale redesign as I did on this project, she gives me a fair price and completes the work beautifully.

    💠 Line editing 💠 Copy editing 💠 Proofreading 💠 Most writers are afraid that their work contains mistakes or typos that will distract from their message. As an editor, I catch those mistakes and polish your writing so that you can share your content with confidence. A great message can get lost when it lacks clarity or contains errors. As a native US-English speaker, I can identify when something should be reworded for clarity and flow. I am a detail-oriented reader, which means that I can spot typos and grammar errors as well. Clients who work with me also get the benefit of an editor who has been a school librarian for over 15 years. My experience with children’s books, middle-grade books, and educational content is helpful for authors writing kid lit and curriculum. From first draft to final product, I can edit: ✔️Nonfiction books ✔️ Children's literature (picture books, middle-grade, YA) ✔️Graphic novels (comic books) ✔️ Curriculum and educational content ✔️ Presentation and webinar slide decks ✔️ Blogs and web content ✔️ AI video captions and transcripts ✔️ Content that has been translated into English or was written by a non-native English speaker My editing services include: ✅ spelling ✅ typos ✅ grammar ✅ formatting ✅ continuity ✅ flow ✅ syntax and word usage Invite me to apply to your job posting or contact me to schedule a discovery call.

    Hello! I’m Jess, an artist & designer based in NE Ohio who has been working in publishing for over 5 years. With a keen eye for detail, I collaborate closely with authors and publishers to create unique designs that benefit their target audience and accurately represent the author’s work. Whether you’re an established author seeking new solutions for your next book, or a brand new writer looking for a partner in designing and publishing your debut novel, I’m here to help bring your work to life - and to get it on as many shelves as possible. A little about my work process and what to expect - I do not use templates for my book design work, so each book that I work on has unique formatting. However, this does require more time and communication between myself and the client. My work does best when the client is involved in the process - discussing fonts, helping look for inspiration photos to convey their ideas, and experimenting with different solutions. It is a process. There is not instant turn-around time, as I do not use templates nor generators. If you need print-ready files this week with no collaboration, then I am not the designer for you. But if you are looking for a partner in the creative process who is committed to your book and fulfilling your dream to make your book unique amongst it's competition and includes a lot of personalization, then we will work well together! --Areas of Expertise-- -Book cover design -Book Formatting and Typesetting -Preparation for publishing platforms (Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Blurb, etc) -Ebook cover design -Ebook interior formatting (EPUB and MOBI) -Market Research

    With over 10 years of freelance experience with a focus on books, I work with you to make sure your final product looks good in your readers' hands. I do cover designs, typesetting, fantasy map creation, and editing. I use either Adobe or Affinity programs and follow industry and publisher standards to create high-quality books in both print and digital formats. I have done multiple book projects including fiction, non-fiction, research reports, poetry, plays, and school books. Along with those, I have done multiple different styles of formatting and design for software and hardware manuals, internal training, and company white papers. Ready to work together? Let's talk :) PS. I do not use AI - no generative images for cover designs, no text for writing, and prefer to work with clients who support the thought that creative work should remain with humans.

    I'm an English/Spanish/English translator. I have over 30 years' experience. It started as a side hustle, but since I joined Upwork in 2017, it's become my day job. I specialise in translating books, ensuring that translations are accurate and that the author's tone or intent is not lost. When translating, I spend a lot of time researching unfamiliar terms and words to make the final document as accurate as possible. Editing or proofreading a book is similar, and I have a good eye for finding mistakes or a better word in certain places to deliver quality content. We live in a world where AIs are getting better and better, and more and more people are turning to them for faster and cheaper work. But they still need to pay attention to detail and humanise the text. I can do this work, checking vocabulary, grammar and, of course, the intent of the text. Reading is one of my main passions, so translating books is more of a pleasure than a duty, and I enjoy doing it no matter what the subject. I describe myself as - professional - Responsible - Experienced - Punctual and - A person who can go the extra mile to meet the standards required by the client. I studied Computer Science at a local university and have worked in this field for most of my professional life. I translate into neutral Latin American Spanish. I will be happy to provide you with any information or guidance you need to complete your task. “A translator is a reader, an interpreter, and a creator all in one”. -Bijay Kumar Das

How much does it cost to hire a book designer?

Book design goes beyond having an aesthetically pleasing cover: The inside layout should also be pleasant to look at and easy to read. Book designers understand how to format text and pictures to give readers the best possible experience. Professional book design can help your cover pop in the bookstore and get it into readers’ hands. 

Book designer costs vary depending on your individual needs, but you can expect an hourly rate between $25 and $100. The number of years of experience a designer has, your desired book format, and the number of revisions you require will all play a role in cost. 

Experience and expertise 

Book designers need graphic design skills and expertise in InDesign and Photoshop. An entry-level book designer might be a good fit if you’re looking for an ebook cover, basic text with headings, or someone who can format using templates. 

Intermediate book designers might be better suited to format text and pictures or graphics and print cover design. Expert designers can format longer, more complex manuscripts and are more likely to know how to optimize your cover for the marketplace. 

Format

Format plays a significant role in design costs and is incredibly important, especially if you’re self-publishing. Professional design services for an ebook will be less costly than an entire book layout for print. The design process for an ebook is less time-consuming than a print book because print books require front and back covers as well as the design of the spine. 

Scope of project 

The time a designer spends on your book depends on how many adjustments you need. Book design services typically include revisions, so if you know what you want, the included revisions might be enough. If you’re less confident, you might want to see a couple of cover mockups or tweak the interior book design. Additional mockups and revisions can bring additional charges.

Geographic location

Book designers can work from anywhere in the world, so it’s possible to outsource your design needs to any location. Designers in cities with a high cost of living will likely charge higher rates than those living in more affordable locations. Consider where your designer lives when choosing the right fit for your book. 

Popular book designer projects 

Some designers specialize in a cover design or a specific type of book design. Book designers might charge an hourly rate of $25 to $100, or they might charge per page or offer a flat rate for just a cover. Ebook cover design is going to cost less than softcover or hardcover book design because physical books require front and back covers as well as spine design. 

Book cover design is a valuable niche because a cover optimized for your target audience will help readers see your book on the shelf and pick it up. Book cover design costs vary depending on if you need a front and back cover and if the book is soft or hardcover. Flat rates typically range anywhere from $30 to $100, with larger agencies and designers charging significantly more. Sometimes they offer add-ons like an ebook cover for an additional flat rate. 

Children’s book design is key in capturing young readers’ interest. Keeping kids’ attention requires illustrations, colors, and fonts to be vibrant, eye-catching, and easy to read. Children’s book designers typically charge a rate per internal page, maybe around $18 per page. Additional flat rates might be added on for elements like front and back cover, hardcover, dust jacket, and more. 

Basic novel design requires designing the front and back cover, spine, and internal text formatting. A basic novel designer will likely charge a flat rate per page, maybe $10, and charge more or less depending on your specific cover design needs.
