About.
We learned everything we know by doing it ourselves—apprenticing ourselves on our own books, from screen to page to reader. This makes us unique within book design: we offer more than "just" covers, typesetting or eBook production. We have experience and expertise across every domain of books, from writing and editing to choosing titles and writing blurbs. We know traditional publishing and self-publishing inside-out. We can offer candid advice, informed guidance, and hard-won insight at every stage of the author's journey, from editing manuscripts to making their book available worldwide, in print and digital eBook formats. We can answer questions and provide technical assistance along the way, informed by our own bestselling books and two decades of creative and publishing experience.

Blurbs, tag-lines and marketing copy.
If the cover does its job, readers land at the blurb (product description), where each and every word should help them get what the book is (or isn't), or convince them to buy. We can write, or edit, blurbs—and more.
Marketing materials and mock-ups.
Uploading, setting up and publishing.
