Book Design
I work with both publishers and self-publishing authors — offering design and layout of both covers and interiors. Each project is unique, so let’s start with a free consult to discuss the scope of your project and then I’ll provide a custom estimate for just what you need.
Typically, my process begins with a Design Consultation, followed by 3-4 cover concepts from which we refine your final cover (including spine and back cover). For interiors, I develop an interior sample to make sure we are aligned on the look and feel before I format your book. Proofreading rounds of corrections come next, followed by final print-ready files prepared for whatever your chosen print path is: whether traditional, print-on-demand, or both.
Print Design
Annual Report? Catalogue? Strategic Plan? Any special publication you are wanting to develop — I can help. As with books, my services include design, layout, rounds of corrections, and delivery of final press-ready and digital files as needed.
Project Management
It takes a village. With colleagues in editing, eBooks, web design, Amazon support and printing, I can help you put together a custom team for your project, and manage all the parts for a successful and efficient outcome.
Print Coordination
Don’t know where to start with finding a printer or weighing the options? Don’t understand all the lingo? Let me help. I can recommend appropriate printers for large, small, or on-demand print runs. Requesting quotes, comparing them, and recommending options, as well as communicating with them through the entire process until the books are delivered.
Publishing Support
The world of book publishing can be overwhelming to a new author. Let me help orient you to it all and equip you to navigate it. Whether it is understanding your printing options (and their pros and cons), or figuring out what an ISBN is, why you need it, and where to get it. Book an information session with me to get all your questions answered. If you hire me to design your book this will all be included.
