A book goes through many stages before it\u2019s in its complete and final form. The final stage of the book is when it\u2019s essentially the product itself that the reader beholds and enjoys. Every stage in the formation of the book is as necessary as the other.

The work of design Is difficult and not easy which is why many authors delegate this duty to a designated designer someone assigned to do this job, however not every author (especially not one that\u2019s starting out) has this luxury. Despite people often saying \u201cDon\u2019t judge a book by its cover\u201d this is impossible to do, your first impression is your last impression. Appearances matter and it\u2019s human nature to go by a cover.

However, if you aren\u2019t confident in the design that you build you will create a subpar cover, and this will have a substantial impact on how well your book does.
