Colleen Sheehan – Designer

My name is Colleen, and I’m a book designer who specializes in books by entrepeneurs, crime authors, and history specialists. I've helped 270+ publishers bring over 690 titles from word processor documents to press and sell more books. I'm ready to help you, too!

The best book designs start where I do: market and user research. Don’t settle for designers who make pretty pictures. Let’s create a design and publishing strategy so you can publish with confidence.

I've worked with a diverse group of clients, from traditional publishers like Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum Press, to USA Today best-selling independent authors, to publishing consultants who need a reliable, quality book designer for their clients. My business was built on referrals from other excellent professionals.

Individual authors whom I've worked with include:

• Mimi Matthews (USA Today best-selling author)

• Wayne Stinnett, (2019-2020 president of Novelists, Inc (NINC))

• Alice Archer (Top Book of 2016 in the HEA USA Today column Rainbow Trends)

• Marianne Fox (Winner of the Nautilus Gold Award in YA Fiction)

I've been working in independent publishing since 2011, and offer clients consulting and hands-on publishing assistance alongside my design work. My process is broken down into clear and concise phases before we even begin. You’ll always know where we're at with your project from beginning to end.

Right now I'm accepting projects that include full book packaging design, which is the print and ebook covers and interiors, as well as offering project management and first-month, post-publishing author support.
