Veronica Scott – Designer

Hello!

I'm a Designer and Art Director for many years. Prior to establishing myself as a freelance book designer in 2019, I worked as a designer and art director for some stablished kids’ publishers like "Capstone" and "The Creative Company" (Amicus).

Before that for 14 years I was a marketing designer.

Yes, I'm that old but I'm also super cool, trendy and extremely tech savvy!

I was born in Rio (Brazil), studied in Milano (Italy), moved to US in 1993 and LOVE the winters in Minnesota where I currently live with my husband and three big nordic dogs.

Living in different countries and learning different cultures gave me a global source of inspiration.

I’m known for being patient and caring about the books I work, I’m always willing to guide first time authors from manuscript to final files.

I’m specialized in kids illustrated books from simple text to more complex versions.

Services I can provide:

• Cover and interior layout design and typesetting for print and digital formats, project management and consulting.

• Art Direction: I can art direct your illustrator during the project through you. Or I can provide an initial layout with print specs and spacing for text so you can make make decisions with your artist. I recommend getting a professional illustrator with experience in publishing.

• Ebooks: I create ebooks in ePub format to fully utilize the font choice and font size options on the device used.

• Conversions of book formats, specially from PDF to ebook.

• Interior book design.

• Marketing design: I can create 3Ds of the book and ebook for social media at no charge. For more advertising materials you will need to specify what those are in order to get an accurate quote. I can create ads, banners, posters, flyers, stickers, or any other print or digital material for your book promotion.

Project management on my end means I manage the raw book materials from design to press-ready. I deliver the finished book files ready to upload to your company of choice.

Before making an accurate offer I will need to know if your book is text-only or has any specific formatting requirements such as charts, illustrations/photos, footnotes, endnotes, indexes or other things of that nature.

Looking forward working with you!

Veronica
