Overview
I've been a book designer for more than twenty years. I've designed covers for HarperCollins, Macmillan, Penguin Random House, and many smaller publishing houses and university presses. I specialise in memoir, biography, history and other forms of non-fiction.Before I start I will ask you lots of questions about how YOU see your book, so we can work together to create something compelling and bold that makes your title pop out on the shelf or screen.
