Overview
Whether you are publishing traditionally through a publishing house, printing at an offset printer, or delving into the exciting world of self-publishing, I can guide you through the process of turning your story into an awesome book.
Whether you have your illustrations ready and are looking for text placement and cover design, or whether you only have the text and aren’t sure what to do next – get in touch, and I’ll talk you through the next steps.
I treat every client and manuscript individually and go out of my way to deliver a quality product. English is my native language, and I pride myself on being friendly, open, and honest.
I can design ebooks, softcover, and hardcover books for all platforms. I also work closely with an illustrator.
Diana Salas, "Bryony did an amazing job!!!! I have no words to describe how wonderful job she did. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Bryony on my first book. Bryony did everything she describes in her info; her timeliness, quality and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I am really happy with the results. This is my first book and she helped me and guided in a very kind manner. I highly recommend her work."
Sandy McBride, "Bryony was a joy to work with, she captured my vision for this book exactly as i pictured it being. She was patient and very professional and kind, as this was my first attempt at publishing a book. I am thankful I was able to work with her on this project."
