I assist authors and publishing companies by producing appropriate cover artwork and interior page design to give the best possible presentation of a written piece. I am also able to provide complete printing preparation and liaison with publishers for all technical prep for a book. A pleasing book cover can capture the attention of a reader that otherwise might have passed on a book that is actually of interest to them.
Likewise, the spacing of text lines, how chapters are divided, the number of pages and even the placement of page numbers plays an important role in the comfort and ease with which a reader can enjoy a book. I strive at all times to engender the best possible experience for the reader, and by doing so serve the the goals of the author and publisher.
Whether a book is fiction, or a technical volume requiring illustration or charts, I am able to design a complete package that is ready to go to the selected printer for completion. I also design books for eBook distribution, whether as PDF files or in some other electronic format.
If you are a self-publisher, I encourage you to see my list of actions that are necessary for a professional presentation of your book, and also for the best way to have your volume included in the collection at the Library of Congress, included into lists for 'books in print,' and other technical and legal issues that should be addressed during a books production.
