Owl design your book.
SERVICES: Cover design • Interior design and layout • Press production
Warning! Do not try this at home! Leave it to the professionals. Designing a book cover is the most important part of your book and your branding; done badly, your reputation may be at risk. Your cover is the sales pitch, your glorified business card, and the apex of your hard work, so don't go for anything less than great. From interior layout to press production, our files are built clean and press ready. Our design work speaks for itself and is equal to anything a major publisher puts on the shelves. In most cases, even better.
Owl customize your book.
SERVICES: Photography • Fine artists • Children's illustrator • Graphic Artist
Your book should stand apart from your competition and sometimes stock images just won't do, especially for children's books. We represent some of the best talents around, from watercolorists, digital artists, fine artists, technical illustrators, children's illustrators and photographers. When you need original, professional art to compliment your book, we work together to find the right creative look to illustrate or photo shoot that wonder cookbook. As for the creative artists out there, consider publishing a book yourself. A large format coffee table book of fine art or a photo series would be the perfect next step in expanding your work to a wider audience.
Owl design your website.
SERVICES: Web Design • Social Media promotional pages
Do yourself a favor and go back to the last publisher you were considering working with, then come back here. Notice how bland their site is. The designers at Wisdom House Books come from a creative background in advertising, so all of our designs from book covers to websites are a very important part of who we are. Most other publishers are naturally writers and editors, but when it comes to an eye catching website or book cover, you will be less than impressed. When building your website, we use uncomplicated programs so that you can simply take over once the site is complete. No HTML coding to learn and much more affordable than a traditional web designer. We will set you up every step of the way.

Once your cover design is complete, we are ready to brand your identity. You are the hero of this story so it's time to let the world know.

Creating a brand based around YOU will heighten your reputation, expand your viability, and most importantly, sell your books. You will be the expert in your field and the go-to-author when media opportunities come knocking. Branding under Wisdom House Books has it's advantages but sometimes you might need your own brand to promote yourself or your company.
