UPWORK Upwork is a good middle option. You can find pretty cheap talent and, if you look hard enough, pretty high-quality people. Especially for something like eBook design—which isn’t overly complicated— finding someone with a lot of experience, great reviews, and some good examples of past work is usually enough to ensure success. PROFESSIONALS The final option is to work with a firm that’s really professional. The challenge here is that a lot of the companies that look professional are really just fancy middlemen between you and cheaper, overseas labor. Don’t mistake a high price tag for professionalism. If you don’t want to mess around or waste any time, and you just want it done right without the back-and-forth, this is probably your best option. 304 · ThE SCriBE METhOD
