Book Design
I enjoy the close author and publisher collaboration required by book design. Together we create a product so appealing that someone buys it for the pure pleasure of readership and ownership.
In 1982 I founded Vesta Publishing Services, a freelance book design and publishing company. I've worked with a long list of publishers and self-publishers since then.
Books currently in production are for Spellbinder Press, a mass-market paperback mysteries imprint, and for Kit Sibert, a grief counselor.
