Cover Design

They say you can't judge a book by its cover. Maybe not – but you can judge a book’s sales that way. The fact is, Lulu books with custom covers sell four times as many copies as those that use one of the default templates. Why? Because most people are attracted to a book by how it looks on the outside – even when they're looking at it onscreen.

So what can you do to up your odds of attracting eyeballs – and securing sales? Leave those templates behind and wrap yourself in one of our professionally designed covers. It’ll make your work look as good on the outside as it reads on the inside.
