Typesetting & Cover Design
Your book deserves to look as good as it reads
Publishing a book isn’t just about the words on the page — it’s about how those words are presented. Good design builds trust with your reader before they’ve even turned the first page. Whether you’re creating a paperback, hardback, or eBook, we’ll make sure your book is polished, professional, and visually appealing.

Typesetting & Interior Layout
Typesetting (also called interior layout) is the process of preparing your manuscript for print or digital formats. It’s more than just making it “look nice” – it’s about making it readable, accessible, and elegant on every page.
Poor typesetting can distract readers while great typesetting disappears into the background, supporting the reader without getting in the way.

Books with
Visual Content
Books that include lots of visual elements such as photos, illustrations, graphs, tables or diagrams, require extra care in layout. Each image must be correctly anchored in the text, positioned for clarity, and checked for print resolution. If your manuscript includes more than 20 images or figures, we’ll quote you for Image-Heavy Typesetting.
- Careful placement and anchoring of each image
- Consistent spacing, sizing, and captions
- Optimised layout for print and/or eBook viewing
- Technical checks for resolution and colour compatibility
- Ensure that all images comply with EU and UK digital accessibility standards (EPUB/WCAG)
You’ve worked hard on your visual content – we’ll make sure it looks its best on the page.
Cover Design
Because people do judge a book by its cover
Your cover is your book’s first impression. It’s the thing that makes someone pause, click, or pick it up in a shop. A strong cover makes your book stand out in a crowded market – and shows that it belongs alongside the best.
We offer bespoke cover design that reflects your book’s genre, tone, and target audience. Every design is crafted for your book and your vision. Our cover design services include:
- Custom front cover (paperback, hardback, eBook, or all three)
-
Typography, colour palette, and imagery suited to your genre
-
Full wraparound print layout with spine and back blurb
-
Metadata and barcode integration as needed
-
Collaborative design process with feedback rounds
Hardback editions and special finishes
For authors choosing a hardback edition, we can also design covers that take advantage of a range of premium production options available through our printer. These include cloth or casebound hardbacks, as well as optional enhancements such as foiling, sprayed edges, and ribbon markers.
These features can add a tactile, collectable quality to your book and are particularly well suited to gift editions, illustrated titles, or special releases. We’ll advise you on which options are practical, cost-effective, and appropriate for your book, and incorporate them into the cover design where relevant.
Whether you want something bold and eye-catching or subtle and literary, we’ll make sure your book looks considered, professional, and irresistible to readers.
