Taryn Nergaard – Designer

✨ Currently accepting fiction manuscripts in all genres (non-illustrated projects only).

✨ I’m especially passionate about supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors in bringing fiction and memoir to life with care, intention, and respect for your voice.

As a writer myself, I understand how personal a book can be, and how important it is that the finished product feels professional, readable, and true to your vision. With over six years of experience and 80+ professionally designed books, I specialize in creating beautiful, reader-friendly interiors for self-publishing authors.

I transform manuscripts into polished, professional layouts that reflect your voice while elevating the reader experience. From typography and spacing to thoughtful design details, every element is approached with care, precision, and usability in mind.

I’m deeply familiar with the technical requirements of KDP and IngramSpark, so your files will meet publishing standards without overwhelm or guesswork. Whether this is your first book or your tenth, I value a collaborative process where your vision leads and the final result feels unmistakably like your book.

I typically book projects up to a couple of months in advance and approach every manuscript with care and attention to detail. However, if your timeline is tighter, feel free to reach out.
