Book Design & Typesetting
Below is a selection of books that I have either typeset or designed for indie authors and educational or not for profit organisations – skills I have acquired and developed ‘on the job’. I use a mix of Photoshop, Canva, Acrobat and other tools to help me achieve my objectives. My aim is always to try and match style and form to the author/content, and also to make the book as engaging, technically sound and accessible as possible.
THE HORMONE HEIST
I worked with the author to edit and proof the manuscript before typesetting the interior and converting it into both PDF and EPUB formats. She provided the cover.
More information is available on her website.
BEYOND THE SILENCE
The author and I collaborated on her memoir, with me first copyediting her manuscript and then typesetting it to produce a print-ready PDF and review copy, as well as an EPUB file. The client designed and provided her own cover.

THE NEW ASTROLOGY OF TOWNS & CITIES
In 2013, I worked closely in collaboration with the Urania Trust and Astrological Association to produce the second edition of a much-loved astrology reference classic by the late Harold Wigglesworth to mark the 40th anniversary of its original publication. On this project, I designed the cover, laid the whole book out and created the e-book version, creating (through trial and error and a bit of insider guidance) two different versions for iTunes and Kindle. A real learning curve, but one I really enjoyed!
