Self-Published Children's Books
I've helped dozens of authors self-publish their children's books over the years, producing books for both Print on Demand Printers and traditional printers. With my expertise I can walk new authors through each step of the publication process, and offer insights to the pros and cons of different POD companies. I can handle every step of the book creation process, from page layout plans, to sketches, to final illustrations, and print-ready book files.
​
I have experience working on all kinds of books, including board books, hard cover, paper back, even specialty designs with embossing and foil stamping.
​
My experience designing print books will ensure your book stands out in quality among other self published books. Creating a children's book is a big investment and a labor of love. Don't let bad art or design mistakes keep it from being successful.

Prices vary as each project is unique. In general, per page cost starts at $150. Book project slots fill up fast, and can take 2-3 months to complete. Contact me for more information and a free quote and character sketch. ​
Self-Publishing Consulting
Have questions, but aren't sure if you are ready to self-publish? The self-publishing process can seem daunting when starting out. I can help provide guidance and advice on every step of the process.
Is my manuscript ready? What should my page size be? What do I include in front and back matter? How do I hire an illustrator, and what should I expect the process to be like? What printers should I consider, and who should I avoid? How do I get an ISBN or LCCN? How can I improve my current book design?
Reach out with your questions, and we can schedule a phone discussion to create a plan that will help you reach your self publishing goals. $50 for up to an hour phone call.
Book Covers and Layout
I've designed covers and layouts for many kinds of trade books, including coffee table books, journalistic books, non-fiction, novels and memoirs. I have designed everything from simple paperback books, to specialty embossed hardcovers with dust jackets. I can guide you through Print on Demand publishing, or be involved directly with your printer if publishing traditionally. I can work with you to turn your text manuscript into a beautiful print-ready layout.
Prices vary as each project is unique. In general, per page cost for text-only layouts starts at $4. Contact me for more information and a free quote.
General Art Commissions
In my nearly 15 years of freelance experience I've done many other kinds of art and design work. Custom portraits, medical illustration, wall art prints, card and game illustration, and more. Contact me with any creative needs!
