As a writer and artist I have created hand bound chapbooks of poetry, art books made of hand tinted papers and painted canvas covers sewn together.
As a co-editor and publisher of Toward the Light: Journal of Reflective Word & Image I have experienced the many layers of book design from editing to layout to final printed/bound book.
If you have written work, whether fiction, poetry, non-fiction – I can help you create the “container” for your work – the book.
The process: you have a finished manuscript. It is edited, spell checked and ready to be formed into a book. Together we make the decisions on interior style – the fonts for titles and text, spacing, margins etc. and the cover imaging and information. While the editing, isbn number, printing and marketing of your book is your job, I can support and guide your process and refer you to sources of information as you build your book.
For more information on the process of book design please contact me.
