Book Designers use their skills to form the layout and look of the book's interior, including fonts, colors, illustrations, boxes, charts, headings, tables, and photos.

Book Design is even becoming a part of the self-publishing process for authors who want to create unique and exciting content for their readers. A professional book designer on Freelancer.com will help authors succeed by creating a visually engaging cover that appeals to readers and make sure that the layout of each page follows professional publishing industry guidelines.

    I already have a partially finished minimalistic cover design for my 6" × 9" non-fiction book (total of 64 pages in length). What I need now is someone who can take that artwork and lay it out correctly for a hardback cover (case binding with no dust cover)—front, spine, and back—complete with proper bleed, trim, and spine text alignment. Note: There is only art on the front of the cover. The back will be blank. Please return a print-ready PDF that meets IngramSpark/KDP hardback requirements, along with the working file (Adobe InDesign or Affinity Publisher preferred) so I can tweak it later if needed. Accuracy on dimensions is critical; apart from that, nothing about the original artwork should change unless it doesn't meet fidelity/resolution standards....

    I need a complete manuscript for an adventure-themed children’s story created specifically for the 3-to-5-year age range. The tone should be playful and imaginative while still keeping sentences short and vocabulary age-appropriate. My end goal is a physical book, so please shape the pacing and page breaks with printed spreads in mind—roughly one short paragraph (30–40 words) per double page works well for this audience. I will commission illustrations separately, but a simple scene note at the top of each page break is helpful for the artist. What I’m expecting from you • A polished story of 450–650 words that follows a clear beginning-middle-end structure and finishes with a satisfying, uplifting conclusion. • Page-by-page layout suggestion...
