Print and eBook design for independent authors
Let us help you publish your eBook or print book and get it out into the world! We’ll polish your ideas into the gleaming pearl you know it can be. We make it easy—even fun! Let’s get started.
Let our pro book designers turn your stories into gold.
Welcome to our real live book design studio, staffed by award-winning artists who love books and know the craft of making yours look as good as the biggest publishers. (We do books for them too.) No “meatgrinders” here, no machines pooping out template after template like sausage. We’ve been designing print books by hand for 30 years, and creating custom eBooks since they were invented.
You have a question? We’re quick to answer all emails. Or call us on the phone. Our studio has big bright windows, cheerful people, sunny flowers, great coffee, and a fuzzy dog named Gus. Besides being good at all this, we’re fun to work with.

We Fell for This One!
We were thrilled to do the whole works on The Dumb Zone: the cover, the interior, and the eBook to match. The author designed the laughs. Know anybody into climbing? This hilarious new spoof by Leah Carson is on sale now.
Amazon Best Seller!
Prescriptions for a Healthy House, the amazing home health resource by the team of Paula Baker-Laporte and John Banta, stole two of the top three spots on Amazon’s Best Seller List, including #1 in two different categories! We designed the cover and the interior. Paula and John provided the smarts. Congratulations!
New Texas Thriller!
We were excited to be chosen to design the interior, the cover, and the eBook edition of The Point, and we think we did it justice. N. Lane Akin spent 20 years writing this thriller, based on his true-life experience as one of the Texas undercover agents fighting the meth lab outbreak of the 80s and 90s.

“It is PERFECT!! Thank you so much and I will be recommending your book formatting service, as well as contacting you for my second book, which I’m already working on!”

Do You Need an ISBN?
You did the hard part. You wrote your book. Now it's time to publish it. But what's this? Vendors want an ISBN from you. What even is that? Do you really need one? Where do you get it? ISBNs look kind of scary because they're so legal-ish and computer-y. And that...
