The cover was ready. But there was one problem. Amazon KDP kept rejecting her Book. The chapters were breaking unexpectedly, the table of contents wasn't working properly, margins were inconsistent, and the eBook displayed differently across devices. After months of hard work, she was stuck at the final stage of publishing. That's where I came in. I reformatted her manuscript, rebuilt the book structure, fixed the layout issues, created publishing-ready files, and ensured everything met Amazon KDP requirements. A few days later, her book was live. That experience reflects what I do every day. I help authors, coaches, publishers, entrepreneurs, and first-time writers transform completed manuscripts into professionally formatted books that are easy to read, visually polished, and fully ready for publishing. Whether you're publishing on Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Kindle, Lulu, or Draft2Digital, I make sure your book meets platform requirements and provides an excellent reading experience for your audience.

How to Hire Top Editorial Designers

How to hire editorial designers

Editorial designers can help you design the layout, typography, and art direction of both digital and print media assets. 

So how do you hire editorial designers? What follows are some tips for finding top editorial designers on Upwork.

How to shortlist editorial design professionals

As you’re browsing available editorial design consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want an editorial designer who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., designing magazine cover art and illustrations with Adobe Illustrator).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what it’s like to work with a particular editorial designer.

How to write an effective editorial design job post

With a clear picture of your ideal editorial designer in mind, it’s time to write that job post. Although you don’t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if they’re the right fit for the project. 

An effective editorial design job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From editorial illustrations to art direction, list all the deliverables you’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 or design tools, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

Or do you need help overseeing the layout and art direction of an ebook? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life.
