What clients are saying …

Janell was the perfect match for my first book project! She patiently and diligently answered every single one of my questions, suggested several options for fonts, applied hearts and lilypads as bullets, and found graphics to match my theme. She made sure I was fully satisfied at each phase of the process, even accommodating several late content changes. I especially appreciated Janell’s advice on kerning/spacing and overall layout. To my delight, she was also able to maintain nearly all of the creative formatting and images from the paperback for the eBook-bonus! Her creative design work and value provided far exceeded my expectations. I am happy to refer Janell to others and hope to collaborate with her again in the future!
