Book Interior Design

The book doctor is in!

If you are writing or have written a book and are planning to self-publish your work, it is imperative that your book’s interior design is professional, impeccable, and beautiful!

With my writing, editing, and design background, as well as my experience with the self-publishing industry for non-fiction writers, I will make your content shine with the most thoughtful, appropriate, and professional creative approach. Your work deserves the best presentation possible, and I will ensure that you receive nothing less!

Book Covers

Writers and readers both know that “you can judge a book by its cover.” Unless you are an established author with a loyal following, readers are often attracted to a book by … yes … the cover!

Scroll through a list on Amazon and notice how your impression of a book is influenced by its cover. Your book not only deserves, but commands, a cover that will draw a reader to the words inside that you worked so hard to write.

Whether you are publishing something new or re-publishing a previous release, I will work with you to bring the essence of your book into your cover art with caring and attention to every detail. You and your book deserve it!

Artistic Website Design

Having a professional, well-designed website is vital to your business and to the image you portray to your customers, readers, and fans. People use the Internet more than any other source to gather information and gain an impression of what you have to offer, so your website must reflect well your business, your work, and you!

I will collaborate with you to achieve the look you desire, both in design and in content. To accomplish a unique design concept, I do not work with templates but rather a “blank slate” theme — this way, I have complete flexibility to create the effect you want, and no two sites will have a “cookie cutter” look. Your site will be distinctly yours!

Graphic Design

Whatever your project, I can help you bring your vision to fruition! From ads and flyers to promotional postcards and bookmarks … business cards and correspondence cards to fundraising items and logo merchandise, I will work with you to make your brand, your business, and YOU shine!

Client Testimonials:

Stacey is an amazing, multi-talented professional. Every step of the way, she understood what I needed in my entire book publishing enterprise before I knew it myself. She got the cover exactly right, she was meticulous about the interior of the book, she made sure everything was perfect, and she was as committed to the project as anyone could have been. She is creative about book design and about the business of publishing. She was recommended incredibly highly to me by someone I respect a lot, but that wasn’t the half of it: she listens, she laughs, she cares, she follows up…and follows up some more. The book Admitted wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Stacey Aaronson.

Having worked with Stacey on literary event committees for several years, I knew she was the one to design and manage a website for my husband, a published author, and for our organization, The Literary Guild of Orange County. In all endeavors, Stacey evidences creativity, accuracy, and congeniality. With client satisfaction guaranteed, she delivers on promises in an efficient and professional manner. We are thrilled with the results of her website designs and the process that led to their fruition.

As I began working on my second book, I knew I needed a website. Without a true understanding of what a website should include, I didn’t know where to begin. I did know that I wanted something beyond a boiler plate, fill-in-the-blanks site. On my wife’s recommendation, I contacted Stacey. She responded immediately and made an appointment to interview me regarding my needs. With patience and grace, she asked questions about fishing and listened reflectively until we both began to see how the website might look. From the beginning, Stacey made it clear that she wanted this website to express my personality. This included attention to details regarding color, photographs, captions, borders, and various pages and links. Throughout the initial design process, I appreciated the integrity with which she conducted business and her willingness to accommodate my wishes. I look forward to our continued association as the website evolves.
