Book Design

Your writing is important.

Let’s make it stand out together.

For most of my design career, I’ve been helping writers get their work in the hands of readers through compelling design that stands out from the competition.

Whether you’re an established publication like Poet Lore or an up-and-coming series like We the Interwoven, I deliver consistent, modern designs that make your words sing.

Why trust your baby to me? As a fellow writer, I know how important it is that the design of your book captures the spirit of your writing—and attracts your ideal audience.

You can trust that your writing will be in good hands.

How does this process work?

Step 1: We meet & greet.

We’ll meet in person (if you’re local) or over Zoom (if you’re not) to discuss your needs and vision for the project. We’ll talk about dimensions, visuals, and the project’s timeline.

After this initial meeting, I’ll always be available via email to answer any questions or concerns that pop up.

Step 2: I’ll make & you’ll review cover options.

No matter what your project is, I will give you three basic cover options from which to make your decision. If you have ideas at the onset, great! If not, I’ll come up with something based on the feel I’m getting from the manuscript.

If none of these initial designs work for you, we’ll keep tinkering until you’re satisfied.

Step 3: I’ll create and you’ll proofread the interior.

I’ll deliver an interior that’s both beautiful and readable. We’ll proofread together to edit away any pesky typos that might have popped up in the design process.

Included in your initial cost is one round of proofreading changes as well as a 24-hour final pass, but note that any more rounds of editing cost extra.
