ABOUT Mo

lizrd.jpg

I accept a limited number of commissions from authors and small presses for the design and layout of limited-run chapbooks or paperback trade titles.  My services include revewing and critiquing book proposals, designing an interior layout and cover, converting a manuscript into a print-ready format for the printer of choice, and supplying an ISBN and bar code. I work with local experts for editing, proofing, advanced graphic design services, and offer guidance on promotional and marketing issues.
 
My fees vary according to the project, but as a rule of thumb they average $35-$60 per hour depending on the specific tasks commissioned.  I offer a free consultation for the purpose of determining the scope, and thus the costs, of the project. Recent design commissions can be found under Trade Books (paperbacks) or Chapbooks (sewn books)
