From the beginning, he demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and asked thoughtful, insightful questions that showed he genuinely cared about understanding the purpose and meaning behind the project. His professionalism, creativity, and sensitivity to the tone resulted in a design that was both elegant and deeply appropriate for the occasion. What stood out most was his maturity, intelligence, and the care he brought to every aspect of the work. Communication was excellent throughout, deadlines were respected, and the final product exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Okusanya and would gladly work with him again." โ€” Okwen I help businesses, authors, and brands transform raw content into polished, print-ready and publication-ready documents โ€” catalogs, brochures, ebooks, and PDF layouts designed to look premium, communicate clearly, and build credibility.

Whether you need a product catalog, corporate brochure, ebook, lead magnet, or branded PDF guide, I focus on visual clarity, layout precision, and reader experience. WHAT I DELIVER Catalog & Product Layout Design Clean, structured product catalogs and lookbooks with professional typography, grid systems, and visual hierarchy.

Book layout design for self-publishing authors and small businesses, including professional-looking layouts for publication via sites such as Kindle Direct Publishing, Lightning Source, Lulu and others in both print and ebook formats. Most books require 3-5 hours to finish the layout of interior and cover for print. *Note in my feedback that clients without feedback represent ongoing clients with multiple projects. If you are looking to publish your book or books, my extensive print publishing background will be an excellent resource for you. I'm uniquely qualified to prepare your book from manuscript to finished book for publishing as a paperback, hardcover and/or an ebook. I'm familiar with specific requirements of various common sites, as well as having a great background in the print industry, unlike many "newly minted" graphic artists whose training has focused on websites, web publishing and apps.. I've very proud to say that I've assisted with preparing Best Seller listed books and high profile artists for publication via print-on-demand sites. It's exciting to see this publishing method being used by the "big boys" as well as the self-publishing authors. And to add another feather to my cap, I received word from one Client that his book about early colonial Cambodia was approved by the actual King of Cambodia. Client says I'm "the Royal Typesetter"... :) I'm happy to give you a time estimate for completing your project, but to me, every book is unique, and deserves a unique layout, so giving an exact fixed-rate price is necessarily impossible. Using the hourly rate, you pay only for what YOUR project requires. Let's talk about the possibilities. Every book deserves a great cover, and I'm also available to help you with your cover design, from start to finish, concept to print and ebook publishing. While I generally leave uploading of files to my clients, if you need help, I'm usually available, and I do guarantee my files to sucessfully upload to the various sites, or I'll work on it until it does. This guarantee has even led me to step in and work with the help desks of more than one print site when their automated system thought it detected a problem, and my extensive print process knowledge assured me there wasn't one and sure enough, all was good to go. "Being there" for my clients is especially important to me, and I'm proud of my on-going client list here on oDesk. My clients seem to refuse to close out their accounts even when we don't have an active project. :-) During my nearly 50-years of graphic design within the printing and publishing field, I have witnessed and adapted to the many changes in technology as it relates to the industry. Yes, I'm vintage, but not antique yet! So although I'm specializing in book publishing, if you have other print needs, such as stationery, magazine layout, flyers and on and on, I have done just about everything there is to do in the printing industry. Most of the changes in the print industry have been in the way that typography, photography and art meet and make their way to the printed page. We used to do this with light tables, punch-tape and exacto knives, now we use computers for the whole process. Offset presses have largely remained the same, and the digital presses use the same file types so prepress ideas have remained the same, with technology replacing the hand pasting and stripping departments. My complete knowledge of the process from idea to print serves me well in achieving my client's goals in the most economical fashion possible. I have been using the industry standard computer programs for over 30 years, including Adobe CS6 programs. There are special factors related to putting computer generated art onto paper vs. the computer monitor. Things like color space, RGB vs. CMYK; raster vs. vector; high and low resolution and when to use each one. With my experience and knowledge, I know how to deliver the right file type for the publication method, and how to use the same developmental files to create products that are suitable for both print and e-delivery, saving time and money on multi-use projects. Although printed material is far from leaving us, more and more publication is done in e-formats. Setup of material for printing and e-publication is similar, but there are many specific aspects that need to be addressed in the publication of e-books, online magazines and other multi-media. As the industry changes, so do my skills. I continue to learn and expand my knowledge base in the Graphic Arts, enabling me to provide my clients with the best print and publishing designs for paper and electronic media. I'm enjoying every step of the process. I do know the basics of web design, although having chosen to focus on print-style design, rather than web sites and web pages, but I can help my clients with their basic web-site needs. If you become a client and need supporting documents for use on the web, I can handle it.

Hi, Iโ€™m Veronica a graphic designer with over 15 years of experience, professionally formed in Ecuador and Argentina. ๐Ÿ‘‘ I help turn ideas into beautifully designed, functional products that people actually enjoy using. If youโ€™re looking for a designer who balances aesthetics with usability in journals, or workbooks, youโ€™re in the right place. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Most designers use the same generic Canva templates, resulting in a flooded market of lookalike planners and amateur-looking layouts. I donโ€™t do templates. ๐Ÿ‘‘ I build custom, high-end editorial layouts from scratch in Adobe InDesign, turning your raw manuscript into a sophisticated visual asset. I combine strict marketing psychology with flawless typography to ensure your content converts, commands authority, and stands completely naked of the "self-published" look. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Top Rated - 15 Years - 200+ Projects - Zero KDP Rejections. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Custom journals, planners amd workbooks and high-end low-content books engineered for KDP and Print. Because I design from the ground up rather than recycling overused digital assets, your products will instantly stand out from the sea of stock competition. ๐Ÿ‘‘ With a strong eye for design and a deep understanding of user experience, I create layouts that are not only visually appealing but also intuitive and engaging. Whether youโ€™re building a product for print or Amazon, or developing a workbook for your clients, I bring your content to life with clarity and purpose. ๐Ÿ‘‘ Some reviews from my clients: - "I worked with Maria Veronica because I have high quality standards. I wanted my project to be better than the competition's, so I was willing to pay more, but I wanted very good work. โญโญโญโญโญ - "Veronica is exceptional! If I could give a 10+ rating, I would! She helped me create my first journal, Collecting Miracles. The design was beautiful! It looks and feels high-end, premium. And I hear this from my customers all the time. I don't know how she did it, but she patiently helped me put what was in my head on paper for the journal's design. She listened to my feedback and incorporated my suggestions into the product. She always communicated well and was thorough in everything she did. I cannot wait to use her again for my future journals." โญโญโญโญโญ ๐Ÿ‘‘ What you can expect: โ€ข A collaborative partner who collaborates and helps, gives appropriate design advice, and looks for solutions โ€ข Clean, on-brand designs ready for print or Amazon KDP use โ€ข Thoughtful layout and formatting that enhances user interaction ๐Ÿ’ผ Letโ€™s work together to design a journal, planner, or workbook that doesnโ€™t just look great it truly works. Thank you, Veronica

Ebook Designers Hiring FAQs

What is an ebook designer?

An ebook designer will ensure that both the cover and the text of your ebook looks professional and is formatted properly for EPUB (the file type used for Android, iOS, and most other devices) or MOBI (for use on Amazon devices and distribution via Amazon.com). A capable ebook designer can be found on Upwork and will either work from your digital manuscript file or convert the files of a print book into an ebook format.

How do you hire an ebook designer?

You can source ebook designer talent on Upwork by following these three steps:

  • Write a project description. Youโ€™ll want to determine your scope of work and the skills and requirements you are looking for in an ebook designer.
  • Post it on Upwork. Once youโ€™ve written a project description, post it to Upwork. Simply follow the prompts to help you input the information you collected to scope out your project.
  • Shortlist and interview ebook designers. Once the proposals start coming in, create a shortlist of the professionals you want to interview. 

Of these three steps, your project description is where you will determine your scope of work and the specific type of ebook designer you need to complete your project.

How much does it cost to hire an ebook designer?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced ebook designer may command higher fees but also work faster, have more-specialized areas of expertise, and deliver higher-quality work.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their ebook design services more competitively. 

Rates typically charged by ebook designers on Upwork are:

  • Beginner: $20 per hour
  • Intermediate: $36 per hour
  • Advanced: $65per hour

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project. 

How do you write an ebook designer job post?

Your job post is your chance to describe your project scope, budget, and talent needs. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project.

Job post title

Create a simple title that describes exactly what youโ€™re looking for. The idea is to target the keywords that your ideal candidate is likely to type into a job search bar to find your project. Here are some sample ebook designer job post titles:

  • Help me turn my 200 page business book into an ebook
  • Need graphic designer familiar with digital publishing
  • We need a designer who can create digital books for sale on Amazon

Project description

An effective ebook designer job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From digital formatting to graphic design, list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries, software, or formats, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Ebook designer job responsibilities

Here are some examples of ebook designer job responsibilities:

  • Design appealing covers for my ebook titles
