Author Resources by Someone Who Gets It

Here's what I've learned from working with indie authors: the ones who launch successfully aren't always the ones with big budgets—they're the ones who have a clear plan.That's why I created these resources.As a book designer, I see where authors get stuck. Not knowing what size to make graphics. Staring at a blank Kickstarter page wondering where to start. Trying to coordinate a launch without a roadmap. I've watched writers delay their launches because the design and planning piece felt too complicated.You shouldn't need a design degree to launch your book confidently.So I built what I wish more authors had: systems that actually work. Real templates. Clear timelines. Step-by-step guides in plain language. Everything organized so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start moving forward.Whether you're planning a Kickstarter campaign or gearing up for a book launch, these toolkits give you a professional foundation—without the overwhelm or the guesswork.Ready to simplify your launch?

Whether you need a single print piece or a full suite of marketing materials, I bring the same attention to craft and detail to every project.With a background in advertising layout, magazine production, and brand-forward social content, I'm comfortable working inside an established brand system or helping you build one from the ground up.
