Sally Rinehart – Designer

Senior-level book designer specializing in non-fiction covers and interiors.

Overview

I am a senior-level graphic designer with over 10 years of experience in the publishing industry. I have worked both in-house and on a freelance basis with commercial publishers and self-published authors, offering design and layout for covers, jackets, ebooks and interiors across all non-fiction genres. I am well acquainted with the the overall book production process, and can either guide you through your project or jump seamlessly into your established workflow.

And when I say all non-fiction genres, I mean it! I can help you with your cookbook, textbook, true crime masterpiece, children's nature guide, coffee table art book, or your mom's memoir. From Italian disco to dachshund photography, I have probably designed a book about it and have some expertise to offer.

I am so happy with the outcome of my book. It was wonderful working with Sally. She responded to all requests and questions promptly. She gave me her professional opinion, and it was great.

Sally did an amazing job with the interior design for my cookbook (my first book). She patiently answered all my questions (and I had a lot as a newbie author) and is very knowledgeable not only with design, but with bookmaking and the publishing process as well!

Amazing to work with. We had multiple zoom calls that helped me through the entire process of making a book cover. Helped through the process of getting my book up on amazon as well. Highly recommend.
