With a master’s degree in Publishing and over a decade of design and production experience, I’ve helped authors bring their books from raw manuscripts to polished, professional publications. My background spans both traditional publishing and self-publishing platforms like Amazon KDP, giving me a deep understanding of how to design for readability, market appeal, and long-term success.
I know how personal and overwhelming the process can feel, which is why I guide you through every step. Together, we’ll create a finished book that feels as thoughtful and intentional as the story behind it.
Can you draw/illustrate my book cover?
While I don't offer custom illustrations or drawings, I use a combination of stock imagery, graphics, and other creative elements to craft a unique and fabulous cover for your book.
Can you edit my manuscript?
I don't provide manuscript editing or writing services. However, I strongly recommend hiring a professional editor to refine your manuscript before we start the design phase. You can find skilled editors on platforms like Fiverr, UpWork, and Etsy.
How should I prepare my manuscript before giving it to you?
It is best to provide your manuscript in Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
Do you help with SEO, marketing, and promoting the book?
Currently, I do not offer services in SEO, marketing, or book promotion. However, I'm happy to suggest some basic strategies and resources to help you get started on promoting your book effectively.
— Jamie, Book Publishing Client
“Michelle's design skills are excellent, and her customer service skills are just as good. She provided me with guidance, timely responses, exceptional design options, and assurance that she would help me bring my design vision to life. I approached Michelle with a 400 page document of family recipes that I need converted into a beautiful cookbook under a time crunch. I had no idea how to get what I had into a book form. Michelle held my hand every step of the way, including through a very tedious Amazon self-publishing process. I couldn't have done it without her!”
