Amanda Letcher – Designer

Children’s book illustrator and book designer. I specialise in picture books and middle grade fiction and love to use texture and colour.

Overview

I’m an illustrator and designer from Australia. I worked in the graphic design industry for 18 years and am very experienced in formatting, picture book and middle grade book layout and cover design. I have also been illustrating professionally for the last 5 years, including the illustration and book design of several picture books that are currently available on Amazon.


My style is fun with lots of texture and colour. I am a strong believer that my illustrations and layout are there to help bring your story to life. I like to try different layouts, view points and including a little humour when appropriate.


When you work with me, I will help you go through your publishing journey as easily as possible. I'm here with suggestions, ideas and years of knowledge to create a stress free process for you. I have extensive knowledge of designing for Amazon KDP and Ingram Spark to help guide you.
