Self Publishing – Choosing between CreateSpace and IngramSparks

Many authors contact me, uncertain as to which outlet will showcase their book cover art to best effect. Here’s what I tell them…

Testimonials:

"Simon understood my thriller book cover design brief, and gave me a cover which has increased sales."

Susanna Quinn

"I gave Simon a tough brief, and his design just took my breath away. This cover looks so much better than other Regency Romance out there. The understated corset on the front is just the right amount of provocative, whilst still being elegant and refined. Simon was a true professional from start to finish. His prices were excellent value, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him."
