These are just a few of the text designs and page layouts that I have worked on over the years.
................ Part title page from The Longest Fight by Emily Bullock (Myriad Editions), set in the 1950s and ’60s. The part title pages deliberately echo elements from the design of the cover, by Leo Nickolls.
................ From The Longest Fight by Emily Bullock (Myriad Editions), set in the boxing world of the 1950s. Loose re-interpretation of contemporary fight posters using 1950s-style fonts.
................ A page from the colour insert to the National Trust guide to Home Brewing, by Ted Bruning. Laid out to a standard series template. Illustrations by Alan Hancocks.

The slideshow above shows a variety of spreads and pages from books I have both edited and laid out. From fiction to travel guides, flowing prose to organised reference material, ultra-modern texts to historical novels, and for any page size or shape, I can design inside pages from scratch or work within a publisher’s pre-set design, moving text on that crucial stage from the copy-edited Word file to professional, polished, tidy and beautiful pages that enhance an author’s work and present it in the best possible light.
Thanks to all the publishers and authors who gave permission to display pages from their work.
