Self-Published Authors

In addition to the book covers I’ve designed for my publishing clients I also work directly with authors looking to self-publishing through such platforms as Create Space.

The Year After, by psychoanalyst Ashley Warner, is an honest, courageous, and inspiring chronicle of Warner’s recovery from a rape she experienced as a young woman in New York. Warner brings a forward-looking perspective to the book while remaining true to her arduous journey of recovery. The result is an empowering memoir about the courage to heal and the promise of peace. When Warner approached me to design the cover for her book we discussed different concept options and decided to focus on illustrating year after the rape when she walked around New York observing the changing of the seasons. The final design avoids any direct reference to the trauma of Warner’s story, focusing rather on the process of healing and change she underwent. The book has received considerable praise from readers and journals, including this from Kirkus Reviews: “An honest, moving and inspirational memoir of recovery.”
