Design Philosophy

Typesetting is more than the art of arranging text on a page

Good book design should be seamless, genre-appropriate and enhance the reader experience. Formatting should be appreciated but unnoticed, the foundation on which a book’s content is laid. But it should never be anything less than exquisite.

Sci-fi Author
After reading the book summary and notes I sent him, Shaun was able to work up some very elegant and evocative artistic cover options, one of which now dresses my book beautifully. Even though he is on the other side of the world to me, he provided quick replies, accurate advice, and knowledgeable solutions to all my queries. Very professional. I won’t hesitate to approach him again as my science fiction series for young adult readers continues to grow.Read more

Shaun was a delight to work with. I entrusted the formatting of my book, in the Italian language, to him and he did a superb job. After the first draft that he sent me I made several requests related to my personal format preferences, and he quickly obliged without hesitation. My book contained many illustrations, and he improved upon them in various ways. I unreservedly endorse him as someone who is highly skilled and a pleasure with whom to work.Read more
