Built for Children's Authors

A children’s book is two crafts at once. Text and illustration have to breathe together across every spread, with the page turn doing as much storytelling as the words. We lay out to the spread, not the page, so the rhythm you wrote is the rhythm a child experiences.

The production side is where children’s books most often go wrong: bleed and gutter allowances on full-color spreads, trim sizes that differ by printer, board book thickness, safe margins that keep art out of the binding. We handle those specifications so your files pass print review the first time.

Every service is modular. Need just a cover? Done. Full wrap with interior formatting, e-book conversion, and Amazon SEO? We’ve got you. Your book, your call.
