Sabrina Milazzo

Sabrina Milazzo – Designer

Award-winning fantasy author and professional interior designer for print and ebooks — passionate about working in all genres.

Overview

Hi, my name is Sabrina.

I'm a professional book interior designer and award-winning fantasy author from Germany.

With over 22 years of experience in graphic design, I began combining my professional expertise with my passion for reading and writing in 2019—creating print interiors and formatting ebooks for publishers, self-publishers, and hybrid authors.

For me, readability is the top priority. I pay close attention to purposeful typography, the use of clean and fitting fonts, and harmonious spacing. At the same time, I strive to give each novel its own unique touch—through carefully designed chapter openings and title pages that reflect the tone of the story, remain free of clutter, and blend seamlessly into the overall layout.

By working with me, you’ll receive a professionally designed interior with clean fonts suited to your genre, well-structured chapter headings, purposeful typography, harmonious spacing and page numbering, beautifully illustrated chapter beginnings and title pages, support for images and full-bleed layouts—and of course a clickable table of contents in your ebook. All based on the latest standards of professionally produced books.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me in English or German. :)

⚠️ I am usually fully booked 4 to 6 months in advance. Please plan at least 4 weeks for full layouts, depending on the complexity.

GERMAN:

Hi, ich bin Sabrina.

Ich bin professionelle Buchsatzgestalterin und Fantasy-Autorin aus Deutschland.

Privat arbeite ich seit mehr als 22 Jahren im Designbereich. Seit 2019 verbinde ich meine Leidenschaft für Design mit meiner zweiten Vorliebe, dem Lesen und Schreiben, und gestalte den Buchsatz für Selfpublisher, Hybrid-Autoren und Verlage. Die Lesbarkeit steht dabei für mich an oberster Stelle. Gleichzeitig lege ich großen Wert auf eine ansprechende und zur Geschichte passende Kapitelgestaltung, die nicht überladen wirkt, sondern sich harmonisch ins Gesamtbild einfügt. So erhält jede Geschichte ihre einzigartige Form und ein professionelles Erscheinungsbild.

Wenn du mit mir zusammenarbeitest, bekommst du ein professionelles und ansprechendes Layout mit Schriftarten, die angenehm fürs Auge sind und zum Genre passen, klar strukturierte Kapiteltitel, harmonische Abstände sowie Seitenzahlen. Auf Wunsch gestalte ich illustrierte Kapitelanfänge und/oder Titelseiten, binde Grafiken, Inhaltsverzeichnisse, Fußnoten und einen Index ein – und natürlich ein klickbares Inhaltsverzeichnis im E-Book.

Bei Fragen kannst du mich jederzeit auf Englisch oder Deutsch kontaktieren. :)

⚠️ Ich bin normalerweise 4 bis 6 Monate im Voraus ausgebucht. Für dein Projekt solltest du mindestens 4 Wochen einplanen (abhängig von der Komplexität des Designs).

Sabrina is the best! Professional, kind, efficient, talented, communicates really well and quickly, and delivers quality work. I thought I could format and typeset my first self-published novel myself; I couldn't. So I was lucky to hire Sabrina to do the work for me, and she did it amazingly! And...
