I earned my MS in English with an emphasis on Book Publishing from Portland State University. I'm skilled in interior book design and specialize in children's books. I've typeset for four independent publishers, and have experience designing and typesetting many genres of books. I also offer proofreading services. I am proficient in InDesign for both print and digital book production.

I'm a freelance writer specialising in: - creative writing - ghostwriting - writing for children - educational materials (particularly primary school, or TEFL) - article writing - travel writing - editing and proofreading I graduated from Bath Spa University in 2011 with 1st class hons in Creative Writing and English, after which I spent five years living in Asia (China and Japan) where I was working as a freelance writer and TEFL teacher. These days I am a frequent contributor to several TEFL and travel websites. As an experienced language teacher, I specialise in working with those who use English as a second language. I also have much experience of materials with children as their target audience (as I have worked with many different textbooks during my time as a teacher, as well as making my own graded materials and specialising in writing for children during my time at University) and so any creative writing, editing or article writing to do with children would be my cup of tea. I pride myself in sticking to deadlines, working professionally and neither overselling nor underselling my abilities. I have an excellent command of the English language and also speak basic Chinese and Japanese. Contracts I love include: - writing stories for children, ghostwriting children's books and creating educational materials. Whether it's creating a modern version of a well-known folk story or creating original content on a chosen theme, ghostwriting for children is my specialist topic - writing colloquial, easy-to-read travel articles, especially with listicle features and awesome destinations (I specialise in Japan, China, and the UK - particularly my niche of the Channel Islands) - I'm always interested in long-term, professional contracts with top clients If you are interested in hiring me to help with your projects, please get in contact. I look forward to hearing from you.

You have a wonderful story but turning it into a memorable children's book takes more than words. As a Children's Book Illustrator, I create Picture Book Illustrations, Storybook Illustrations, expressive Character Designs, and Amazon KDP-ready artwork that help authors bring their stories to life. Every story deserves its own visual identity. Some books are written to inspire bedtime smiles. Others help children recognize their first letters, count their first numbers, discover animals, explore science, strengthen their faith, or build confidence through meaningful storytelling. Whatever your vision may be, great Children's Book Illustration transforms words into an experience children can see, feel, and remember. I specialize in Children's Book Illustration, Storybook Illustration, Picture Book Illustration, Character Design, Children's Book Design, Book Cover Illustration, Amazon KDP Book Design, and Visual Storytelling for independent authors, publishing companies, educators, schools, businesses, and self-publishing creators who want professional illustrations that engage young readers while supporting the purpose of every page. ✨My illustration services include: ✔ Children's Book Illustration ✔ Storybook Illustration ✔ Picture Book Illustration ✔ Character Design ✔ Cartoon Character Design ✔ Children's Book Cover Illustration ✔ Book Cover Design ✔ Animal Illustration ✔ Educational Illustration ✔ Alphabet Book Illustration ✔ Counting Book Illustration ✔ Preschool Illustration ✔ Early Reader Illustration ✔ Nursery Book Illustration ✔ Christian Children's Book Illustration ✔ Coloring Book Illustration ✔ Activity Book Illustration ✔ Workbook Illustration ✔ Watercolor Illustration ✔ Digital Illustration ✔ Amazon KDP Book Design ✔ KDP Book Design ✔ Print-Ready Publishing Files ✨ How I Bring Stories to Life Every illustration begins with understanding your story, your audience, and the message you want children to remember. From expressive characters and colorful environments to page composition, visual pacing, and storytelling, every decision is made to create illustrations that feel engaging, memorable, and consistent from the first page to the last. Whether your book is educational, inspirational, adventurous, humorous, or heartwarming, my goal is to create Children's Book Illustration that captures attention, supports your narrative, and gives readers a reason to return to your book again and again. What Your Readers Will Remember: Children rarely remember every sentence. ❇️They remember the little bear carrying a backpack. ❇️The curious rabbit exploring the forest. ❇️The brave little girl chasing her biggest dream. ❇️The colorful letters that made learning exciting. ❇️The playful illustrations that made reading feel effortless. That's why every Children's Book Illustration I create is designed to inspire imagination, encourage curiosity, strengthen learning, and build an emotional connection that stays with young readers long after they've turned the final page.
