Overview
I'm an illustrator, book designer and writer from the UK with 20 years' experience in the publishing industry. I've worked for a number of high profile clients, providing illustrations for books (covers and interior pages), magazines, websites and other media.
I'm also a traditionally published author of popular philosophy (occasionally also providing illustrations for publishers of my own books) and a self-published writer of fiction, so I understand the publishing and book production process from all sides.
I don't use stock photos or images, and my covers usually incorporate some form of illustration. My style suits humorous fiction and non-fiction, satire, or quirky and unusual subjects.
I also offer book formatting (both print and ebook) and interior design, production management (seeing your book through the publishing process, uploading to Amazon, Ingram Spark, etc), and I'm happy to provide free advice on blurb writing, book marketing, author platform, and other book-related matters.
Whether you are a self-published author or a fellow industry professional, I'll try to accommodate your budget. Please get in touch to tell me about your book and to chat about your requirements.
