Creator Work
For authors, illustrators, and independent makers who want their work to land as carefully as it was written.
I personally offer cover design, illustration, ebook formatting, and interactive book covers. I also know the right editors and co-writers for several genres — if the work you need is writing alongside your draft, I can pass the thread along without losing it.
What I Do Myself
Cover Design
Covers that do the full weight of positioning the book: genre legibility, quiet type, and an image that survives thumbnail size. I draw before I lay out, which means the final cover has real art at its core rather than a stock assembly.
Typical turn: two to three release cycles (four to six weeks).
Illustration
Interior plates, chapter heads, ornamental initials, endpapers, character studies. If you have a manuscript and a feeling for its visual register, I can meet it. I work in digital ink and graphite, and I'm comfortable matching an existing series.
Priced per plate. Series discounts on request.
Ebook Formatting & Typography
Semantically clean EPUB and reflow-friendly digital typesetting. No bloated markup, no chapter-break weirdness — just careful HTML that reads correctly on any device, with typography that respects the prose.
Includes accessibility pass: reading order, alt text, language tagging.
Interactive Book Covers
A traditional cover is static. An interactive cover is a small, fast canvas that responds to touch, scroll, or device tilt — a storefront that feels alive. Priced competitively to give independent authors a memorable landing page.
Ships as a drop-in page you can host anywhere.
Author Network
I know writers, editors, and genre-fluent collaborators who are actively looking for work. If you need writing alongside a draft, or a careful editor who reads in your genre, start here.
Editing
Developmental, line, and copy — matched to the kind of feedback you actually want at this stage. If what you have is a first draft, you don't need a copy editor yet.
Writing Alongside
Ghostwriting, collaboration, or developmental writing in a genre you trust them to honor. Romance, literary fiction, memoir, middle-grade, technical nonfiction — different people, different genres.
How the intro works
Tell me what the project is and where you are with it. I'll suggest one to three people who fit. You take it from there — I stay available for context if useful, and step back if not.
Referring feels risky when it implies the thought is over. This network is kept as a living page so a referral is really a bookmark — you can return, compare, and decide again.

Starting points — most projects land in these ranges. Tighter budgets are welcome conversations; I'd rather underscope a real thing than overscope a hypothetical one.
