Book buyers are also attracted to professional-looking, easy-to-read interiors. We can wrap your manuscript in a striking design that sells.
Karen Saunders has designed the covers and/or interiors of 28 books that have become best-sellers or won awards, including the 2005 Writer’s Digest Grand Prize winner for the best self-published book in America.
“There is not a week that goes by that I don't get compliments on my book cover. Sell Yourself! has been a best seller from the start, and MacGraphics' outstanding cover had everything to do with that. It's a joy to work with Karen Saunders who offers so much design skill and expertise.”

I can much more easily understand what questions to ask printers and designers, and which elements make critical differences in the design process. Karen's eCourse also shows me how to avoid costly printing mistakes by using proper file formats.”
