Lorna Reid

Lorna Reid – Designer

I am a professional book formatter/interior designer who enjoys working in all genres, from fantasy and sci-fi to romance and YA fiction.

Overview

I am a professional book formatter/designer who enjoys working with clients from all over the world on their self-publishing journey. I format books for print and digital markets in a wide range of genres and have a passion for working with indie authors from all walks of life.

My love for books has been present throughout my life, and being able to work with authors to bring their books one step closer to publication makes my heart sing.

I have worked across a wide range of genres, and especially enjoy genre fiction, such as Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Romance, Thrillers, and sub-genres, such as YA, Urban, Paranormal, Dystopian, and Post Apocalyptic. I'm easy going, can work to tight deadlines, and have a good sense of humour. There is nothing I like more than seeing a client's work move out in the world and enrich it.

A few client testimonials:
----------------------------------
Being that this is my first time self-publishing, I wasn't sure how the formatting procedure would go. Lorna was excellent in informing me of how this process was going to go and she exceeded my expectations when it came down to professionalism and meeting deadlines. I plan on collaborating with her again in the future.

Lorna was fabulous to work with. She made changes without complaint and was patient when I ran a little behind schedule (waiting for the cover design from another designer.) Her work is picture perfect and I'm so happy to have found her.

I approached Lorna as a complete amateur and she was extremely patient and answered far too many questions! The formatting in 3 different formats was just as I hoped and more. I would not hesitate in recommending Lorna

Working with Lorna has always been like a breath of fresh air. She is so professional, kind, and amazing at what she does. This is my fourth time working with her, and I anticipate to do so again in the future!

Lorna is about as easy to work with as they come. She communicates often and genuinely cares about the project. Nice, timely, and her work is first rate. Would recommend her a million times!

I hired Lorna to design interior elements that my cover designer couldn't do. She did a first rate job on the whole manuscript, and continued working with me to make some necessary revisions, such as changing the copyright page and author note, and adding an ARC page. She even volunteered to make changes on the cover when its designer dropped out. I certainly hope to work with her again.

Lorna helped me out with my manuscript when another professional let me down due to ill health. The collaboration was straightforward, easy and straightforward. She was extremely helpful and patient with me. I highly recommend.
