Self-Publishing Made Easy and Professional
In the past, I have had work printed through a major academic publishing house, only to receive a pittance on each book sold. I wrote the book, they did the technical work of formatting and layout, and they kept the profits. Self-publishing is the way to go if you want to reap the benefits from your work.
For the second edition of my non-fiction academic work, I knew I would need some serious assistance in design and layout. Darlene and Dan filled that need. After ten plus years of research and writing of drafts, (always focused more on my message than on the nuts and bolts of publishing) to have someone as talented as Darlene format my work in such a way that it looks so professional was a blessing. I knew what I wanted to say, and she turned it into very professional product comparable to products from the best of the big publishing houses. With Dan’s creative cover design as the icing on the cake, the project came together better than I had ever expected.
Darlene and Dan solved a whole lot of problems for me. Always available by phone email or text — and always able to solve any problem or make any changes immediately upon my requesting them — it has been a pleasure working with them, and I can recommend their services without reservation.

I am truly happy with the front and back cover designs you created for my math book, Fraction Fundamentals.
I, myself, am a textile designer and fine artist and for the past 50 years have always done my own artwork.
But not this time. This time I wanted to create an effect that I knew I could not create.
During our collaboration, you proved many times over that you have not merely an immense abundance of technical knowledge and skill, but great communication skills that enabled me to collaborate with you with 100% ease and success.

I am so impressed with the cover (as well as the Teaching Law cover [below]). I just opened the file to have another look at the cover and continue to be thrilled. Thanks so much for being able to grasp the work and relate it to the cover design!
