Overview
Complex layouts (in print and digital books) involving illustrations are not a problem for me. I recently completed a privately-published family history that included more than 120 black-and-white photographs, some of which dated back to the late 19th century. Each photograph was edited to correct for over, under, or uneven exposure, and each was prepared for optimal resolution in print. (See "McKeen Country" cover--which I also designed--and example interior pages in my gallery.) For a digital example of a heavily illustrated e-book that I created, you can explore "The Urban Herbalist," by Rosita Arvigo, on Amazon using their "Look Inside" feature. However, there is an example in my gallery of multiple interior Kindle pages as shown in the Kindle Previewer.
I also do promotional mock-ups showing your book in various final formats and settings which you can see in my gallery. While I don't specialize in cover design, I've been known to dabble in it successfully from time to time.
The selected works in my portfolio include "Beating Depression and Bipolar Disorder Without Drugs," which I shepherded from developmental stages to final publication in both print and e-book/Kindle. I edited the three books by David Neilson and designed the interior layout for each as well as converting the books for e-book and Kindle publication. The three books of the Clay Series, I wrote and self-published, but I was smart enough to hire an outside editor and cover designer for each one. I did, however, do the digital conversions. Finally, I co-wrote "Surviving Healthcare" with my friend, Cristy Kessler, edited it, and converted it to e-book and Kindle.
The portfolio and gallery are only small representations of the work I have done over the years. Please visit my website for more information.
