You wrote a great book. Doesn't it deserve aÂ
fabulous design?
Publishing a book has never been easier! It is no longer necessary to go through a formal publisher to become a published author. So with the explosion of self-published books out there, what is going to make YOUR book stand out? The design! Let me help you STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD with a well-designed book that looks just as professional as any book published by a large publishing house. From one book lover to another, let’s work together to make sure your book gets the attention it deserves!
What We Do
You wrote the book - now what do you do with it? Bring it to me and I'll do the rest: typesetting, graphic design, and layout of the whole book, start to finish, including getting it ready to print, designing the cover, and preparing an ebook for you. I specialize in children's books!
Self-publishing a picture book can be really overwhelming. Let me help you to design your picture book and get it ready for publication, from working with the illustrator to designing the text to saving it for print.
The Book Design Process
You give me your edited text and illustrations (sketches or completed)
I will prepare and send you a sample page or chapter with font choices
Once we settle on a design, I will design the rest of the book
Once the book is completed, I will prepare the files for printing/upload

About the Virtual Paintbrush
I am a designer who loves books as much as you do.
When you write a book, you put yourself into it. The last thing you want is for people to overlook your book because of bad design. Everyone judges books by their covers, and here at the Virtual Paintbrush, I understand how to design books that will not only stand out and look professional but allow readers a glimpse into the soul of the book.
My name is Shanie Cooper, and I am a graphic designer with over 20 years of experience in the industry, both teaching and designing. I have serviced clients all over the world, and have worked with businesses, corporations, publishers, and many self-published authors just like you. I look forward to working together!
