Kristina Konstantinova – Designer

Professional book formatter and typesetter with over 10 years of experience with publishers and indie authors in various genres.

Overview

Hi, my name is Kristina and I'm a book designer with a love for typography and finding the *right* font for every project. As a professional typesetter, I've worked with clients from all over the world from publishing houses to indie authors, and I've helped various authors take their manuscripts from simple documents to press-ready books ready to be read.


With over 10 years of experience in typesetting, I have worked across a wide range of genres. I started my journey during my undergrad days with poetry and plays before moving on to educational texts, company white papers, and religious non-fiction. As of the last few years, I started dipping my toes into fantasy and sci-fi, and I'm absolutely loving it here.


One of the major things I noticed through this journey is that every book, every genre, and every author requires a unique approach to get to a final design. This means I do my research to figure out the best way to present your book while letting readers focus on the content, not on the design.

What some of my clients have said about me:

"Kristina's expertise, professionalism and creativity was exceptional - her understanding of the requirements in sending a book to print was such a wonderful help to a first-time publisher like me. I simply could not have achieved the level of success that I did without her! I really hope to work with Kristina again in the future." - Sally Romano, author of Days of Yore


“The typesetting is absolutely glorious, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Beautiful work and vision by your typesetter!” - Barry W. Mahler, author of Ungod


“Everything about it is great! Everything just fits perfectly! It was fun and I would honestly love to work with you in the future!” - P. J. Capewell, author of The Dark Mirror and The Death Games Series


“Kristina was outstanding! She went above and beyond to make sure our final product was better than we expected. Thank you!” - Alyssa, co-author of The Black Book of Scams
