TESTIMONIALS

“What [Sarah] did, the quality of her work, her dedication, and willingness to go way above and beyond expectations made this a fantastic and relatively easy debut book launch. From cover design, formatting, and project management, Sarah is a true professional with a strong work ethic, absolute talent, and makes the process easy to understand. The best decision I made was to hire her. Worth so much more than I paid.
That is such a vital point to me; I am going to repeat it. Her work was worth so much more than I paid. She is the real deal.”

— MATTHEW McREYNOLDS
author of Falling Onto Cotton

Sarah has an incredible ability to understand what I need before I know I need it. We have worked together to create flyers, postcards, social media graphics, advertisements, and catalogues and her work is consistently on-brand and fits with the big picture of the event or product that we’re marketing. Sarah’s enthusiasm is as inspiring as her design sense and it has been a pleasure to work together.”

— KATE CONDON-MORIARTY

Working with Sarah was a joy. From our first interaction, she laid out her full process and timeline, giving me a wealth of well-organized information that was a huge help in deciding which designer would be the best match. She was always on time, gave me more than I asked for, and not only supported my vision but enhanced it greatly by taking my often rambling ideas and running with them. I have several other books underway and I can't wait to work with her again.”

author of Touch of Fire

“I had the pleasure of working with Sarah as a publisher on my novel. She has an excellent sense of graphic design, typesetting, and product design and it made the book a joy to read (and to write). I didn’t have to worry about a thing.

— DAVE PROCTOR
author of Gross

“Incredible work. Do yourself a favor and get her to work on your project. She will exceed your expectations, as her attention to detail is as good as it gets. Just pay her whatever she asks and know you're money is being well spent.”

— AARON WEINSTEIN
author of The Baseball Brain

“I have worked closely with Sarah for many years now. I have been absolutely blown away, countless times, by her creativity, resourcefulness, and incredible design skills. Working with her in publishing, I saw a demonstrable, dramatic increase in sales as soon as she started designing with us. Her consultations are fantastic as she quickly and earnestly assesses your needs, and is able to work with your dreams (and budget!)”

— MADELEINE CURRY

“Sarah defeated my expectations. She was patient, resourceful and her work really resonated with my message. The book cover and the interior design were just impecable. It was such a pleasure to work with her.”

author of Stop Freaking Out About Retirement
