Escape - But Remember to Come Back!

I have been a fan of Romance novels since I was a youngster. I was first introduced to Jane Austen and I couldn’t get enough of it. I remember when I was 16 and read my first romance with erotic scenes. I was on a residential trip for school and found a book called “Vaccine”, and sadly I cannot remember the name of the author.

Books are incredible, even more so once you realize they are gatekeepers of your escape into a land of mystery and surreal involvements. They can teach you and help you learn things on almost any subject, topic, theme, philosophy, or genre. They also have the ability to deliver feelings and emotions like no other medium.

As a professional graphic designer for over 15 years, I've had the pleasure of working on hundreds of books. I fell into the extraordinary world of Indie publishing almost seven years ago. From Children’s picture books to Romance, Sci-Fi, and Self-Help, I help authors polish their manuscripts for publication. Specifically, I offer formatting and book design services.

If you’re an Indie author like me, you probably already know the value of beta readers.  In a well-planned book production process, you should send out an early manuscript (even before you send it to your editor) for beta reading.

It’s the very opposite of freedom of speech, because it acts to prevent those who create beauty, knowledge, consolation or delight from earning even a modest living from their efforts.
