Diana A.
Author | Book Designer
I’ve self-published 17 books and spent the last 5+ years helping authors with the part that often feels overwhelming: formatting, design, publishing setup, and Amazon optimization. Most of my work includes: ✔ Book formatting (print + ebook) • KDP paperback/hardcover • IngramSpark • Kindle EPUB • Picture books • Nonfiction books • Journals/workbooks/planners ✔ Book design • Children’s book interiors • Cover design • Text placement • Typography • Print-ready PDFs ✔ Amazon optimization • Metadata research • Keywords • Categories • Blurb writing • A+ Content ✔ Children’s book editing • Developmental edits • Story flow • Character development • Read-aloud pacing • Picture books, chapter books, middle grade I’ve worked on children’s books, nonfiction books, journals, poetry books, memoirs, and business books. Some of my own published titles include: Roadmap to Publishing Children's Books Marketing Children's Books for Introverts Too Cute to Spook THUD! THUD! The Lazy Stork I Will Be There Dino Trouble Series Young Dream Makers Series What clients usually hire me for: “I have a manuscript/book idea and need help getting it ready for the world.” That could mean formatting a picture book, designing a journal, optimizing a KDP listing, refining a manuscript, or helping launch a book properly. I’m practical, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. And because I’ve gone through the publishing process myself many times, I know how to spot problems before they become expensive mistakes. Let’s make your book look professional and get it ready for readers.
