Bryony van der Merwe – Designer

Whether you are publishing traditionally through a publishing house, printing at an offset printer, or delving into the exciting world of self-publishing, I can guide you through the process of turning your story into an awesome book.

Whether you have your illustrations ready and are looking for text placement and cover design, or whether you only have the text and aren’t sure what to do next – get in touch, and I’ll talk you through the next steps.

I treat every client and manuscript individually and go out of my way to deliver a quality product. English is my native language, and I pride myself on being friendly, open, and honest.

I can design ebooks, softcover, and hardcover books for all platforms. I also work closely with an illustrator.

Message me if you have any queries. Some 5-star client reviews:Kris Dunn Troiano, "I have worked with Bryony on five of my children's books, and I am always so happy with her work. She is a professional and excellent at what she does. She helped turn my children's books into books that are easier for children to read and fun due to the way she added beautiful colors to some of the text on each page, and she recommended a book size that I would not have thought to use which makes my books look much better. She knows how to add the right book design touch to get your books to market. I will hire her again for my sixth and seventh books."

Diana Salas, "Bryony did an amazing job!!!! I have no words to describe how wonderful job she did. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Bryony on my first book. Bryony did everything she describes in her info; her timeliness, quality and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I am really happy with the results. This is my first book and she helped me and guided in a very kind manner. I highly recommend her work."

Sandy McBride, "Bryony was a joy to work with, she captured my vision for this book exactly as i pictured it being. She was patient and very professional and kind, as this was my first attempt at publishing a book. I am thankful I was able to work with her on this project."
