Annie Wilkinson – Designer

Let’s team up to turn your stories into enchanting visual adventures! My goal is to ensure your book is not just read, but cherished.

Overview

Why choose me? I’m a solid creative professional with over 15 years experience, and I’ve worked for many self-published authors and big name publishers, including Penguin/Ladybird Books, Simon & Schuster, and National Geographic. I have a keen eye for colour, detail and storytelling, and aim to enchant young readers everywhere!


Your input matters. Open communication and collaboration will ensure the results you seek through each stage of the process: sketches, colour, and design. I work digitally on an iPad but aim for the look of softer, traditional materials, adapted to meet the unique personality of your book. I’m also committed to delivering quality illustrations on time, so that your book can reach eager hands without delay. And let me be your one stop shop - I can also design the typography of your book and ready it for printing!
