Book design

[edit]

Wave books are published with simple covers, lacking the marketing blurbs common in the publishing world.[7] Its translations avoid the use of facing pages of original and translated text, and the translation of Olio includes foldout, detachable pages.[8]


In 2021 Wave began producing its first audiobooks that are recorded as read by the author in a live audience setting.[7]
