JustYourType - Certified Book designer and book typesetter

Book design is my passion! I've been a student of typography and have had a love of books since I began reading at the age of four. • Highly experienced professional book designer and book typesetter, awarded Upwork Top-Rated and Pro Designer Status, Private Talent Cloud status, and Certifed Editorial Design. • Specializing in custom interior book design and typesetting for authors and publishers across the globe. • Work with a commitment to excellence. • I work with you and your printer to help ensure that your files are trouble-free when it comes time to print. • I am well-versed in KDP print on demand, IngramSpark, and LightningSource book setup specs. I'll gladly work with your printer as needed. • I also offer ebook conversion for epub and mobi and other digital platforms. What clients say: ________________________ “Sue of JustYourType knows book design and typesetting like Michael Jordan knows basketball." -Mark Kuta, author, "Think Like a Ceo" Gold Medal Book Award _________________________ Sue’s attention to detail and ability to see a project through from start to finish amidst extenuating and stressful circumstances is unparalleled. We hired her for an extremely intense InDesign project that resulted in 2200 total pages across five separate fully-styled books. The books were for an international project with an 8 hour time difference and a language barrier. We originally intended for her to be our only designer, but quickly learned that we’d need more personnel to stay on deadline, so we hired two more designers and Sue ran the entire team. She had a very clear and logical system, and oversaw the work of the entire design team, as well as doing much of the work. Despite the multitudes of challenges and obstacles thrown at Sue and our team as we worked on these books, she completed the project with pinpoint accuracy, an incredible eye for detail, and a willingness to go above and beyond our expectations in both speed of work and availability. She was also a quick and efficient communicator with a solid work ethic and a persevering attitude. Anyone who hires her should consider themselves extremely lucky! Marie Casias Manager, Marketing & Administration TIG _________________________ "I never even THINK about hiring anyone else as a book designer for my books. Sue is just that good." -joneborne _________________________ “Sue’s creative and artistic book design captured the mythic flavor of "The Stillness of Love and Exile.” The exquisite layout was a major reason the judges at the Independent Book Award selected my book as a Silver Medalist for Best Fiction. Great book designer!” -Rosa Martha Villarreal, The Stillness of Love and Exile Award-winning Book Designer: 2008 - 2014 PubWest, IPPY, and Axiom Business Books Awards. _________________________
