Just like you, I like to cross things off my to-do list.

If getting your book (finally) done is on your to-do list, let me add it to mine and we’ll both be happy.

The whole process of getting your book into print can be overwhelming and confusing. I put my 15 years of experience in book design and book printing to work for you when you partner with me to take those manuscript files sitting on your laptop and make them into a book your audience can hold. My calm, friendly and encouraging nature makes completing your book project a pleasant experience. I give you the last “you can do this!” that you need to get your book done!

I work with professional communicators from around the world. I’m Canadian, and after quite a few years in Europe and Asia, I moved with my family to the USA at the end of 2020.

Let’s connect on Linkedin or Unsplash.

You….

…are a skilled, clear communicator.

You make your living from communicating and you know how to do it well. You communicate well by e-mail, and are clear and precise.

… have hired a graphic designer before.

This isn’t your first rodeo. You or your agency have worked with a professional designer before for your social media graphics or your blog or website. But this time you need a book design specialist.

…are honest and down-to-earth.

You are the real deal. You’ve worked long distance with other contractors and know that honest communication is essential to work together well.

….are generous and reasonable.

You or your company have allocated a budget for professional book design services. You don’t insist on the lowest possible rates. You’ve learned the hard way that you lose time and money when you work with contractors who are less than professional.

….have a life outside of work.

You understand that work is not everything and value both hard work and well-deserved rest.

I…

…am a skilled, clear communicator.

The most common feedback that I receive from clients is that they appreciate my clear and prompt communication. Just like you, I love to write.

…have worked with your type before.

This isn’t my first rodeo, either — I’ve worked on hundreds of books, send thousands of files to print, and I can provide advice and insight to make your book project turn out better than you ever imagined it would.

…am honest and down-to-earth.

I’m no good at pretending. I am happy to provide references from clients who have worked with me, in addition to what can be seen on my Testimonials page. 

…am generous and helpful.

I charge what I believe my expertise is worth, and I am generous with changes to client files, doing my best to not exceed the the agreed-upon budget. My pricing is usually project-based.

….have a life outside of work.

I don’t take rush projects and don’t work all day every day. You’ll find me doing book work most on Tuesdays through Thursdays. I enjoy making books but I love the people in my life more.
