Sparky Bites Publishing
Design & Layout
Books That Look as Sharp as They Read.
A good story deserves a great home.
That means covers that stop thumbs mid-scroll and interiors that feel clean, professional, and effortless to read.
At Sparky Bites Publishing, design isn’t an afterthought — it’s part of how your story greets the world. We don’t use templates. We don’t force your book into a premade mold. We design covers and interiors that fit the soul of your story, not a trend or a generic style guide.
This is where your book gets its look, its presence, and its heartbeat on the shelf.
Cover Design
The Face of Your Story — Done Right.
Your cover is your first impression. And in this industry, first impressions matter.
We design covers that:
- Match your genre while still standing out
- Feel intentional and professional
- Respect your book’s tone and audience
- Create instant curiosity
- Look great in thumbnail AND full size
- Print beautifully on Amazon, IngramSpark, or both
- Stay consistent if you're starting a multi-book series
Whether you need a dramatic fantasy cover, a gentle children’s book design, or a clean nonfiction layout, we craft covers that actually sell your story.
Interior Layout
Clean, Credible, Comfortable to Read.
Nothing pulls a reader out of a story faster than sloppy formatting.
We build interiors that feel effortless, polished, and genre-appropriate.
Your layout includes:
- Professional typesetting
- Balanced margins
- Chapter styling
- Drop caps (optional)
- Clean line spacing
- Widows and orphans fixed
- Page numbers, headers, footers
- Table of contents setup
- Print-ready formatting for Amazon and/or Ingram
- eBook formatting available upon request
From children’s books to 400-page sagas, we ensure your interior looks like it belongs on any bookstore shelf.
Illustrator Coordination
You Write. We Handle the Art.
If your book requires illustrations — children’s books, memoir inserts, chapter flourishes — we coordinate the artwork process so you don’t have to.
We help:
- Identify the illustration style you want
- Provide clear briefing guidelines
- Manage file specs for print
- Place illustrations in the layout
- Ensure consistency and visual balance
- Confirm color profiles for accurate printing
You stay focused on your story. We manage the logistics.
Barcode Placement & Print Details
All the Technicals, Handled for You.
Print-ready files need exact specs:
- Trim size
- Bleed
- Margins
- Resolution
- Color profile
- Spine width
- Barcode position
We take care of all of it — so your book uploads cleanly and avoids the dreaded Amazon/Ingram “rejection for formatting issues.”
