Overview
I'm a professional book designer with a life-long passion for all things related to books. I run my own small press, and I've been freelancing as a print book designer, cover designer and ebook conversion specialist since 2012. I had an unbroken 5.0-star rating on Elance and numerous happy independent clients. I work in Adobe Creative Suite, DAZ 3D Studio and Microsoft Office on a Windows platform. I can format your book for Ingram Spark or KDP, or any printer or market you want. I hand-code epubs in HTML5 and CSS. I've done cookbooks, poetry books, novels, illustrated reference books, anthologies, series and stand-alones. I also do program books, magazines, catalogs, posters, flyers, three-fold and multi-page brochures, booklets, and business cards. I also create websites and social media content to help you reach your readers.

I started BLUM in 2006 and spent a full year training myself in every aspect of book design and production, marketing and distribution before I released our first book in 2007. I edit, design, typeset and create cover art for all our titles, and produce press-ready PDFs for print. I launched into ebooks when the Kindle store opened in November 2007; we were in the Kindle store in December. I do web design and am fluent in HTML and CSS, so I hand code all epub editions and use customized epubs to convert to Kindle editions. I design promotional materials including postcards, business cards, flyers and brochures.

Un-Dead TV: The Ultimate Guide to Vampire Television
Brad Middleton
