I design the cover and the interior together, as one project, for authors who are done settling for almost right.
You sent references, then more feedback. What returned looked fine on paper and felt like a generic cover for a book you’d never read.
By the third round you started to wonder whether the problem was you. It wasn’t. Nobody had asked the right questions first.
Most authors only find out interior typesetting is its own craft when a reader says the formatting looks a bit off.
That’s why every project starts with a conversation, and why the cover and the inside are designed by the same person.
A book that earns credibility every time you hand it to a client or leave it on a table.
Fiction or non-fiction that should sit comfortably beside traditionally published books.
A steady design hand for covers and interiors that feel like one list.
One designer. One brief. Cover and interior, built together from the beginning.
A short enquiry — tell me about the book, your timing and your budget. I read every one myself and reply within two working days.
A free, no-commitment call — a chance for both of us to check we’re right for each other, with no pressure to go further.
Concepts and check-ins — cover directions shared early, with two check-ins before anything is final and three revision rounds across the project.
Interior typeset in InDesign — margins, type, chapter openings and spacing that let the writing breathe.
Print-ready files — cover and interior set up for your printer, with a timeline confirmed on day one, usually six to eight weeks.
The Reading
A 90 minute session if you’re not sure what your book should look like yet. You leave with a written Creative Direction Summary within 48 hours.
What happens after I send the form?
I read your enquiry and reply within two working days. If it looks like a good fit, I’ll invite you to a free, no-commitment call.
Can I just have the cover?
Yes, just ask. That said, a great cover on a default-formatted interior is the most common regret I hear.
How long does it take?
Usually six to eight weeks from brief to print-ready files. I confirm the timeline on day one.
The book is done. What will it say about you before anyone reads a word?
Tell me about your book and I’ll reply within two working days. If it looks like a good fit, I’ll invite you to a free, no-commitment call.
