BOOK DESIGN
BOOK COVER DESIGN
A well-designed cover sells a book! I partner with you to create a compelling and attractive book cover. With over fifteen years of experience in the publishing industry and an eye for current design trends, I am your one-stop shop for all things book cover-related. I offer illustration, design, and hand lettering services. I can act as a guide for new self-publishers who may be unsure where to start or as a partner for experienced art directors.
PICTURE BOOK ILLUSTRATION & DESIGN
As an experienced illustrator and designer, I’m the perfect partner to bring your picture book to life. I can handle every process step, from rough mock-ups to a final print-ready file. With an eye for detail, I create picture book artwork and design that seamlessly melds words and images to tell your story. I also work with your printer to ensure the final print file is formatted correctly per their specifications.
ART DIRECTION
I offer art direction services if you need additional assistance beyond book design. An art director shepherds your project from start to finish, managing all those day-to-day details to give you time to focus on marketing and promotion. If you are an author looking to hire an illustrator for your picture book project, I can help you find the right artist for your manuscript and work alongside them to develop illustrations to help your book succeed.
EDITORIAL
I offer unique picture book editorial services from an illustrator’s perspective. If you’re a picture book writer looking to take your manuscript to the next level, consider partnering with me to provide practical and helpful feedback on how your story flows visually. Are you telling instead of showing? I can help with that. Is there too much manuscript on a page, leaving it unclear which visuals should be illustrated? I can help you narrow your focus. Maybe there’s no solid visual at all on a page. I can point that out too. Ensure your picture book manuscript inspires strong visuals that leap off the page. Editors know when a manuscript has them and when it doesn’t. I can help you polish the visual storytelling of your manuscript!
