I have over 30 years of typesetting experience in the publishing industry. This experience includes typesetting for a large publishing company for over thirteen years as a senior member of the composition team. During that time, I typeset numerous book interiors for fiction, non-fiction, Bibles and Study Bibles. I also have experience typesetting financials, marketing products, newsletters and catalogs. In 2018, I transitioned to full-time freelance typesetting/design. I have extensive experience using Adobe InDesign and I'm very well-versed in creating and analyzing design specifications and layouts. My files use all of the automation features InDesign offers, resulting in consistently accurate, professionally designed and typeset files. I prefer to work on a fixed-price basis. My specialties include book interiors and long documents for print or reflowable ebook products. It's always so rewarding to start with a basic manuscript file and transform it into a beautiful, readable, professional book or publication. Thank you for your consideration.
