This week, I dove deep into something we often overlook but absolutely transforms our reading experience: book design.

In my latest podcast episode, I chatted with Michael Pietrobon, a book design expert who's basically the wizard behind making books not just readable, but irresistible. Here are some mind-blowing insights.

What REALLY Makes a Great Book Design?

  • It's WAY more than just a pretty cover
  • Interior design is where the magic happens
  • The goal? Make reading feel effortless

3 Key Design Elements That Matter

  1. Cover Design: Your book's first impression
  2. Interior Typesetting: What keeps readers engaged
  3. Consistent Design Language: Creating a cohesive experience

Pro Tip: A good design feels like a friendly invitation to dive into the story. If a book feels cramped or difficult to read, most readers won't make it past the first chapter!

Bonus Insights

Michael shared an incredible hack: Designers consider how your book will look as a tiny thumbnail on someone's phone. Talk about attention to detail!
