After years in the corporate branding world I decided to bring my graphic design skills and printing expertise back to my first love: books. That’s how Inkwood Booksmith came to life. As a writer, I understand the desire to transform your ideas into a book you can hold in your hands and share with the world — and now it’s my absolute pleasure to help other writers realize their dreams through thoughtful, professional book design and self-publishing guidance.
