Concept

and Strategy

If you're an author or a publisher with a book project, bring it to me. I've worked with independent authors and with publishers that don't have the staff or the time to complete the project themselves.

I'll take the time to listen to your ideas of what you want the piece to look like; what you want it to convey to the reader.

I'll put together a concept for your approval. Once a design is approved, you supply the text and any artwork/images and I'll put together the cover and pages, do all the layout, type-setting, paste-up, image editing, and provide files that are press-ready for your chosen printer, providing proofs at each step of the process.

I work on an hourly fee. I'll provide you with cost analysis so there are no surprises.

Sharing

what I've learned

By no means do I consider myself an expert. However, I've been doing this for awhile (desktop publishing and book production) and have learned a few things along the way. I offer a quality product at a fair price. I'm always looking to learn more and will gladly share what I've learned.

I know a Blog is suppose to have a regular schedule of updates. Don't count on it here. I'll try really hard to post new material at least once a month (hopefully the first Monday of the month). If that works for you, come back.

I'll start off by sharing Chapter 1 from "Understanding Typography" by Luke Jones @lukejones

Typography is the core of book production and as such worth spending time to understand.
