James Warwood – Designer

Hi 👋

I’ve been writing, illustrating, and self-publishing my Middle Grade books for over 15 years. I love writing, but over that time I’ve discovered that I love bringing a story to life with drawings even more.

That’s what gets me up in the morning, along with black coffee ☕

I was born and raised in England, but currently live on the border of North Wales (dragon country). I use pencil and pen to outline my illustrations, then put them into Adobe Illustrator to polish them up. My designs and characters are simple, but effective, and have a cheeky and playful style that fits perfectly within middle grade books and light-hearted non-fiction.

Here’s how I can bring your story to life:

💰 Complete eBook & Paperback production (illustrations, interior design, and the cover for a competitive and affordable price)

✏️ Hand-drawn illustrations

🗺️ Detailed and eye-catching maps

📖 Interior book design

📔 Book cover design

Here’s my creative process:

🎥 Video call to kick off the project

✍️ Illustration samples

📝 Chapter by chapter illustrations & interior design

⚗️ Regular Revisions, with no limits

🧙 Cover design at the end

Here’s what I can’t do:

🎨 Picture books
