Whether you have a novel, picture book, cookbook, photography coffee table book or a step-by-step manual to teach us how to rule the world, the book's design is the first impression opportunity you have to stand out.

A picture tells a thousand words...or the length of your manuscript. If you're looking for an eye-popping picture book or a novel with tastefully sized spot illustrations, images round out your story and attract readers.

Pictures, art and illustration don't just fall into place. They often need love and care to truly be organic to your book. I'll be working with you and the illustrator/artist to ensure that the art meets your story where it lives.

Style is everything. With all of the amazing artists out there, it's likely that (more than any other) one artist really hits the spot, and vibes with your written words. I'm here to make that match happen. I have really great relationships with literary and artist agencies, as well as gems of "free agent" artists. What this means for you is a huge and varied world of artists to potentially work with.

I'm also no stranger to big, scary contracts. I'll walk you through the details and work with agents and partners to make sure we're all on the same page! (Get it? Same page? Can you believe I just did that?)

Pacing is everything in a highly visual book. With the images telling the story too, the correct pace, rhythm and length of the book is very important. This is the first step of a picture book layout. TPC is able to help you "see" the book before we actually see it!

Photos and other images bring your pages to life! Sadly, the perfect images generally aren't in the public domain or just free for the taking. Solution? TPC will research images for your book, edit them and negotiate licensing for use of the image(s).

TPC partners with some incredible editors, proofreaders, indexers, and co-authors. These folks can be crucial to the success of your book, shaping the narrative and seeing any opportunities for even more greatness...with the freshest of eyes.

"I got this book I just approved, now what?!" One of the biggest and most ominous obstacles for a new self-publisher is the process of getting your book printed and distributed. Partnering with a few favorite printers, TPC can make this so much easier!

Let's get this book in people's hands. Whether it's taking the wheel and getting you started with social media visibility for your book or just a few notes of advice. Let's start putting people on notice!

Not everyone has deep pockets for printing, warehousing, and distribution channels. On-demand books sales are an efficient and turnkey way to get out there! I can help with this.

3D renderings, video book teasers, print materials and full-length animated book trailers. Stand out!

You're on the world wide web, baby! Hooray! Getting an online visual presence of your publication is paramount. People are scouring the internet for their next read, addition to their child's library or a truly unique gift book. Your site can be anything you want it to be to bring the pages to life, but also be an invaluable sales portal to your audience!
