When remember, the price you set when creating a title on platforms such as KDP and Ingram Spark is a suggested retail price.

A bookseller can offer the book for as little or as much as they choose.

The compensation stays the same.

Around the start of the new year, I was having trouble sleeping.

I kept thinking about 300 South—how we started, what we’ve done, and how it’s not enough.

I’ve been an indie author, lost in the grind, and I know too many still are.

I see the misinformation and the shady companies preying on unsuspecting author's excitement and inexperience.

As a mentor, as a service provider, as a publisher, as an advocate of indie authors, I’ve got to do better.

Something’s coming. Stay tuned.

As a self-publisher you become a small business owner. That comes with costs, paperwork, time, effort, and hopefully a bit of profit. In most cases, editing will most likely be your biggest expense when breaking down the process. Because of that, it's not uncommon to seek lower cost options. Unfortunately, in the long run, that can cost more than it saves. With that said, your rant is valid and relatable to so many. Hopefully with each new project, you'll take the experiences and knowledge you picked up to create better and better books. Here's to it!

📚 Standing Out with a Unique, Professional Book Design: The Benefits for Indie Authors

In the bustling world of self-publishing, where thousands of new titles emerge every day, standing out is crucial. For indie authors, a unique and professional book design can be the key to capturing readers' attention and conveying the quality of your work. Here’s why investing in custom book design is a game-changer, along with some key points to consider.

✅ The Benefits of Custom Book Design

1. First Impressions Matter
Your book cover is the first thing potential readers see. A professionally designed cover can make a powerful first impression, drawing readers in and encouraging them to explore further. It signals that your book is a high-quality, well-crafted piece worthy of their time and money.

2. Reflecting Your Unique Voice
A custom design allows your book to reflect your unique voice and the essence of your story. From the cover art to the interior layout, every design element can be tailored to match the tone, genre, and personality of your work, making it truly one-of-a-kind.

3. Enhancing Readability
Professional design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about functionality. A well-designed book enhances readability with thoughtful typography, appropriate spacing, and a layout that guides the reader smoothly through the text. This ensures an enjoyable reading experience, which can lead to positive reviews and word-of-mouth recommendations.

4. Building Your Brand
For indie authors, each book is an opportunity to build your personal brand. A consistent and professional design across all your titles helps establish your identity as an author. This recognition can drive sales of your current and future works, as readers come to trust and seek out your brand.

5. Standing Out in a Crowded Market
With so many books available, a unique and eye-catching design can make all the difference. Custom designs help your book stand out in online stores and on physical shelves, catching the eye of potential readers amidst a sea of competing titles.

✅ Key Points to Consider

1. Know Your Genre
Understanding the conventions of your genre is essential. While your design should be unique, it should also meet readers' expectations for the genre. A professional designer will help balance creativity with genre norms.

2. Invest in Quality
While it might be tempting to cut costs, investing in high-quality design is worthwhile. It can significantly impact your book's success, helping it stand out and appeal to your target audience.

3. Collaborate with Professionals
Working with experienced designers can bring your vision to life. Professional designers have the skills and knowledge to create a cohesive and compelling design that aligns with your goals and resonates with readers.

4. Focus on Both Cover and Interior
While the cover gets readers to pick up the book, the interior design keeps them engaged. Pay attention to both elements to ensure a seamless and enjoyable reading experience.

5. Get Feedback
Before finalizing your design, seek feedback from beta readers or a focus group. This can provide valuable insights and help you make any necessary adjustments to maximize your book's appeal.
Final Thoughts

Investing in a unique and professional book design is one of the best decisions an indie author can make. It not only enhances the overall appeal of your book but also sets the stage for a successful publishing journey. At Stewart Press Publishing, we’re dedicated to helping you achieve a standout design that captures your vision and delights your readers.

A Word From the Founder

Indie authors often face many challenges when it comes to publishing their books. The traditional publishing route can be difficult to navigate, meet expectations, and create a large enough following to attract publishers. The only other avenue many poets and story authors have to take is self-publishing, but that can be tedious and even more frustrating. Not to mention mistakes can cost a writer thousands of dollars. 300 South Media Group wanted to give authors a middle ground between the two factions. That is how Stewart Press Publishing came to be.

There are a number of elements to consider when deciding how to publish your book, from the initial costs to the distribution channels you’ll use. Stewart Press has taken the guesswork out of the process.

With our knowledge, we help you understand the process and carefully plan out the project. We partner with each author to produce a professional book and offer tools to best reach their audience.

Stewart Press does not make its money by charging authors inflated publishing costs. Instead, we offer the full use of our design and editorial services and keep our package fee very affordable.

We want everyone to win. So, by providing professional services for your book project at lower costs, we do our part ensuring the author sees success.

Writing is often compared to an exploration, suggesting that the journey of writing itself is a process of discovery. Writers often begin without a fixed destination, allowing the narrative to unfold organically. Each word, sentence, and paragraph becomes a step in the exploration of the story.
