P. Bateman is an exceptional writer, as evidenced by the glowing reviews of his work. However, just a year ago, he faced a challenge with two self-published titles to his name. In his own words, &#8220;sales were very slow, sometimes just a few a week.&#8221; Recognizing that the initial cover designs were hindering sales, he turned to the award-winning Design Department at Spiffing Publishing for assistance. Our team immediately got to work, creating two iconic designs that proved to be the right choice for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon relaunching his titles with the new covers, Bateman experienced an immediate surge in sales. Within a week, he skyrocketed to Amazon\u2019s No.1 Bestselling Author and has since claimed numerous top-ranking positions. These include No.1 rankings in Amazon\u2019s Paid Top 100 categories and, most recently, a significant All Star Bonus for reaching the top 5% of books finished (and pages read) on Kindle. The true measure of success, however, lies in the fact that he is now selling his books in large quantities, making his investment in professional designs an obvious decision. Bateman recently emailed us to share that&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor the past four months, the books have totalled between 2000 and 3200 sales per month.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like many of our authors, Bateman has continued to collaborate with Spiffing, resulting in five additional books to date. His success story mirrors that of many others who have utilized our services. As Bateman himself acknowledges, \u201cWhilst the high read-through rate is down to the stories, the initial sales are down to the stunning cover designs.\u201d This serves as proof that, in an age where visuals matter, books are indeed judged by their covers.If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about book cover design and how The Empire Publishers can help you reach to new heights through proper publicity, simply give us a call at: <a href=\"tel:+442045798116\">+44 20 4579 8116\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
