Overview
👋 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
