You’ve written your story. Now let’s turn it into a professionally designed children’s book you’ll be proud to publish. I help children’s book authors transform completed manuscripts, existing artwork, rough concepts, or AI-assisted illustrations into cohesive, print-ready books they can confidently publish and share. As a self-published children’s book author and designer with more than 15 years of experience in book design, visual storytelling, and print production, I understand how overwhelming the publishing process can feel. There are countless creative and technical decisions to make, and it is not always clear what should happen next. My goal is to guide you through the process, answer your questions, solve production challenges, and help you move forward with confidence. I can help with: • Clean, readable layouts designed for young readers • Strong visual flow between the manuscript and illustrations • Professional interior and cover design • AI-assisted illustration development and refinement • Character and visual consistency across illustrations • Photoshop editing, color correction, and artwork preparation • Print-ready files for platforms such as KDP and IngramSpark • Visual direction that supports a consistent author brand If your illustrations are incomplete, inconsistent, or still in the concept stage, I can help develop and refine them through an AI-assisted creative process. This includes direction, character development, image refinement, compositing, editing, and production preparation so the finished artwork feels intentional and works as a complete book. To get started, I typically need your final manuscript, any completed illustrations or visual references, your preferred trim size, and your publishing platform. If you are still making those decisions, that is okay. I can help you determine what is needed before production begins. I believe great children’s books are built with intention. Every choice, from typography and page composition to character consistency and pacing, should support the story and the reading experience you want to create. I work best with authors who care about quality and value a thoughtful, collaborative process. Whether this is your first book or your tenth, I can help you navigate the journey from manuscript to finished book and bring your vision to life with confidence.
