Book Design & Publishing

I’m a bestselling indie author who designs book covers that understand the Amazon marketplace. I now offer professional book cover design and Vellum formatting for self-publishing authors. Creating KDP-ready and ACX files for Kindle, paperback, hardback and Audible.

You’ve written the story. I’ll help make it publish-ready. From eye-catching cover design to clean, professional interior formatting, I create the files self-publishing authors need for Kindle, paperback, hardback and Audible — removing the technical headache so you can focus on the writing. From full cover layouts with correctly aligned spines to clean interior formatting for KDP, I take care of the technical details that so often cause stress and uncertainty — leaving you free to focus on what matters most: the story.

Cover Design

Covers created for my own bestselling titles, including full wraps for paperback and hardback editions, and series branding. Formatting produced using Vellum — the professional tool used by thousands of bestselling indie authors​

A great cover doesn’t just look good — it tells readers exactly what kind of story they’re about to click.

Understanding your book’s genre is the most overlooked part of launching a title. 

I can help refine your concept so it signals the right tone and audience — creating a cover that stays true to your vision while standing out as a compelling, clickable thumbnail.

Thinking about getting your book publish-ready?

Whether you need help with cover design, formatting or both, feel free to get in touch and tell me a little about your project.

Every book is different, so I’ll always suggest the simplest approach and provide a clear quote before any work begins.

Sometimes a short conversation is all that’s needed to point an author in the right direction.

Prices start around £195.

Book Formatting

Formatting a book for Kindle, paperback and hardback involves more than simply uploading a manuscript. Every edition requires precise layout, trim sizes, margins and export files that meet KDP’s technical requirements.

  • Clean interior formatting using Vellum
  • Correct trim sizes and margin setup
  • Professional chapter styling and typography
  • Front and back matter prepared correctly
  • KDP-ready export files for Kindle, paperback and hardback

I take care of the technical details so you don’t have to wrestle with publishing templates — leaving you free to focus on the story.

As an independent author myself, I understand how important it is that a book not only reads well, but is presented professionally to readers across Kindle, paperback and hardback editions.
