Lindsay Heider Diamond – Designer

Hi! I have 25 yrs of design experience, work with self published authors and am easy, dependable and reliable to work with. Let’s talk!

Overview

*** I am not accepting Book Interior or Production Management requests at this time. ***


I love books. I love designing books.


I have worked with self-published authors and our collaborative creations have won "best book" awards by Amazon.com, Kirkus, Best Thrillers, Writer's Digest, Indie Reader, and Reader's Favorite. I have also worked on books through Amazon Publishing and Girl Friday Productions, gaining a larger publication company experience. I have over 25 years of graphic design and illustration experience and can assist in cover design and additional marketing materials for new and established authors.


Cover design is one of the most important aspects of a marketing plan for a book. It is the first impression that a reader gets and can also influence other retail and blogging venues who might want to promote the book.


I believe that authors should invest in a professional designer if they want their book to have some longevity in the marketplace. The author spends countless hours writing a book; a few more hours by a professional designer can make that book shine. And with my years of experience, ability to stay on task and communicate well, I can help your book do just that.


Paperback, hardcover, hardcover with dust jacket, ebook (Kindle/Nook), posters, bookmarks and social media imagery are all options and can be included as a package design.


Contact me for more information. I can let you know the process I use and ways to cut costs for your book design.


Thanks and congratulations on your book!


Lindsay

Lovely experience. As a first time author, I was not only given exactly what I needed for cover design. I felt as though I was supported in my views and ideas. I was encouraged with the entire project, not just the cover. Great overall interaction! Clark
