Overview
I am a professional book formatter and interior designer who finds genuine joy in helping authors navigate the final, crucial steps of their self-publishing journey. Having formatted hundreds of books since 2019, I’ve had the privilege of working with indie authors from all over the world to turn their manuscripts into gorgeous, standout designs.
I provide expert formatting for both print and digital markets across all genres. While I have a deep love for the immersive worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, romance, and YA, I also specialise in the technical precision required for complex nonfiction. My goal is always to create a clean, professional interior that honors the author’s voice and provides a seamless experience for the reader.
I’m known for being easy-going, patient with first-time authors, and highly attentive to the tiny details that make a book feel "big five" quality. I work to tight deadlines and take great pride in seeing my clients’ work move out into the world looking its absolute best. Whether you are a seasoned bestseller or a debut author, I am dedicated to making the design process the most exciting part of your publication journey.
