Red has done book layout for a decade for independent authors, traditional publishers, independent and hybrid publishers, and most of her own books. Her approach is unique, combining tools from the Adobe Suite, Microsoft Suite, Atticus, and Cloud-Based design platforms. With her own artists on retainer, she even includes some personalized illustrations and symbols as fits the content. She considers your content for opportunities to allow the text itself to stand out appropriately. She can work with multiple trim sizes. Every single book layout is custom; allowing you to select how your chapter starts, dinkus symbol (subchapter separator), and primary content appears. Many font selections are available and an in-depth consultation by Zoom will allow you to choose and customize the look you desire for your content. Initial consultation for appearance – Sample overview of elements – Review of Manuscript for changes – Final layout all included.

What Clients Say
Kimberly Krueger, Founder of FEW International Publications
"Personalized. Creative. Strategic. Attention to every detail. Reji did beautiful editing, coaching, layout, and design work for 5 FEW Titles. She never ceased to amaze me with her ability to envision an elegant theme for each book that tied all of our stories and devotions together while simultaneously reinforcing the FEW Brand. She really understands branding! Her expertise in marketing books to #1 also proved to be top notch as her coaching and proprietary strategy helped us secure #1 Bestsellers, #2 Bestsellers, and titles in the top 10 on Amazon. She is excellent at what she does and her knowledge of both publishing and the industry provided much wisdom throughout our entire process. Reji is huge-hearted in business and in life, so it is no surprise that In the two years she partnered with FEW, our incredible books and authors went to new heights!"
