Sabrina Milazzo – Designer

Professional book formatter/interior designer for print and ebooks & award winning fantasy author who loves working in all genres.

Overview

Hi, my name is Sabrina.

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


I have been working as a designer for more than 20 years. Since 2019 I have been combining my passion for design with my second passion - reading and writing - by creating the interior of print books and formatting ebooks for countless publishers, selfpublishers and hybrid authors.


For me, readability has top priority. That's why I'm paying extra attention to purposeful typography, the use of clean fonts and harmonious spacing. However, I also like to give something unique to each novel by designing appealing chapter beginnings and title pages that fit the story, are free of clutter and that integrate harmoniously into the overall picture.


In short, by working with me you'll get a beautiful layout design with clean fonts that fit your genre, well-structured chapter headings, purposeful typography, harmonious spacing and page numbering, illustrated chapter beginnings and title pages, images & bleed images and of course a clickable table of contents in your ebook. All according to the latest standards of professionally edited books.


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

⚠️ Please keep in mind, I'm booked several months in advance. Therefore, it's usually too late to contact your interior designer one month before you plan on publishing. You will want to give your interior designer time to properly work on your project. On top of that you should have time to order a proof copy so that we can fix any last issues that might come up. :)

GERMAN:

Privat arbeite ich im Designbereich bereits seit mehr als 20 Jahren. Seit 2019 verbinde ich meine Designleidenschaft mit meiner zweiten Vorliebe, dem Lesen und Schreiben, und gestalte den Buchsatz für Selfpublisher, Hybrid-Autoren und Verlage. Die Lesbarkeit hat dabei oberste Priorität. Doch auch eine ansprechende und zur Geschichte passende Kapitelgestaltung, die nicht überladen wirkt und sich harmonisch ins Gesamtbild integriert, ist wichtig, damit jede Geschichte ihre einzigartige Form und ein professionelles Äußeres erhält.


Das heißt: Wenn du mit mir zusammenarbeitest erhältst du ein professionelles, ansprechendes Layout mit Schriftarten, die angenehm fürs Auge sind und zum Genre passen, klar strukturierte Kapiteltitel, harmonische Abstände und Seitenzahlen. Auf Wunsch: Illustrierte Kapitelanfänge und/oder Titelseiten, Einbindung von Grafiken, Inhaltsverzeichnissen, Fußnoten, einem Index und natürlich ein klickbares Inhaltsverzeichnis im E-Book.


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

⚠️ Bedenke bitte, dass ich im Normalfall mehrere Monate im Voraus ausgebucht bin. Einen Monat vor dem geplanten Release anzufragen ist in den meisten Fällen zu spät. Dein Designer braucht nicht nur die nötige Zeit sich um dein Buchprojekt zu kümmern, idealerweise solltest du auch einen Testdruck bestellen. Auch die Fehler, die dabei noch ins Auge springen können, benötigen ebenso Zeit, um sie zu beheben. :)
