Testimonials
I’m the founder of a writing studio and we have worked with Angelique for our clients who have typesetting needs. When I send a writer to Angelique, I know I can 100% trust that they are in capable hands. Her attention to detail is impeccable and her eye for design is unparalleled. And if that weren’t enough, Angelique has led workshops for our studio and written blog posts that have helped our members expand their writing and publishing knowledge. We feel very fortunate that she’s willing to share her talent and skillset with us. She is a joy to work with.
Angelique’s natural artistry combined with her attention to detail produced a skillfully-done cover that exceeded my expectations and imagination. She truly has a gift for design and the skillset to bring it to life. A pleasure to work with!
I am an indie publisher, and I’ve worked with Angelique on multiple projects including children’s picture book typsesetting, formatting, and fantasy graphic creation. She is timely, professional, courteous, and a pleasure to work with. Her wonderful artistic eye added special elements to my work, elevating my projects above and beyond what I ever could have imagined. Her creative input is priceless and unparalleled. I will be working with her on many more projects to come so that she can add that special Angelique-touch to my work.
Book Layout Services
Picture book layout and formatting are in a classification of their own. There are lot of parts and each page typically has its own layout. Unfortunately, this does not allow for a standard option at a lower price and each job is custom.
Everyone deserves a beautifully designed and formatted book. I’ve created several book layout templates for authors who want that little added touch to make their book stand out but don’t have the budget or need for a custom layout. There are several options for you to choose from. I’m sure you’ll find the perfect design to fit your needs and genre.

Cover Design Services
I offer two levels of book cover design services, plus a cover design service for mini books (ideal for printed short stories). The standard cover design services offer professional cover design for those on a tighter budget. But if you’re looking for a custom design that requires a custom composite of images and artistic elements, please check out the custom design service. All cover design services are available for ebooks, paperback wraps, and hardcover dusk jackets

Don’t want to wait for a standard or custom design? Check out my selection of premade covers here.
The standard option relies heavily on the use of stock images with minimal to no photo manipulation or composites. Several graphical elements may still be used to convey the authors vision, but these covers will not be created with a complete custom design.

Looking for a unique, one of a kind book cover? Then this service is for you.
Custom designs rely on photo manipulation and composite designs to create unique book covers. A custom design can use multiple elements and images to create the desired effect. NOTE: Currently, I do not create digital renderings or 3D CG characters, rather I rely on several databases of both live-action and CG characters in my photo composite designs.

Every book needs a great blurb.
Many authors struggle with summarizing their work into a blurb that attracts readers. After your book cover, your blurb is the next step to closing that sale.
There are also two types of blurbs every author must have. One, the back-cover blurb that you find on all books. Two, a blurb that reads like ad copy for your book retailer book description (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, Kobo, etc.).
Send me a detailed book summary and maybe a few key points you would like the blurb to touch on and I’ll turn it into a blurb that sells.
Do you need both (book cover blurb and a blurb that sells)? No problem, I can help you with both.
