Testimonials

Veronica created amazing bookmarks, bookplates, and locker magnets... I absolutely love them! At all my signing events, readers rave about how beautiful my swag is. And all for a reasonable cost. ~ Brenda Drake, New York Times Bestselling Author (Library Jumpers series) Veronica is amazing! Her work is flawless, & being an author, too, she brings something unique to the conversation. She knows what readers like and that is reflected in her designs. I am in love with my bookmarks and trading cards, and I will definitely be using her again!! ~ Rachel Harris, New York Times Bestselling Author (The Fine Art of Pretending) Veronica is a joy to work with. She's smart, savvy, creative--and able to make beautiful graphics that work perfectly for your events. You can ask her for something very specific (Can we have our PubTalkTV in a martini glass logo in an 80s TV, looking like Behind the Music?) or tell her something general (We need a graphic for an event where agents and editors act as cupids!) and, she'll make something wonderful--and quickly. She understands the needs of authors and agents and will make sure you--and your event--look good. ~ Jessica Sinsheimer, Literary Agent (Sarah Jane Freymann Literary Agency, LLC) Would it be weird to leave up my new banner (designed by @vbartles ) in my house all the time? Because I really do love it that much. ~ Kathy MacMillan, author of Sword and Verse and Dagger and Coin Veronica created amazing bookmarks, bookplates, and locker magnets... I absolutely love them!

If you would like your designs to reflect your book, I will need a high-resolution image of your cover.

Layered .psd files are preferable (your publisher may provide you with this file upon request) If you don't have the .psd file, a high-resolution cover photo will work. I will also need any additional images or artwork you would like to include. If you want images other than your cover art, and you don't have them, I would be happy to help you find the perfect images.

 

** Note: Prices DO NOT include proofreading / copy editing. I will always do my best to make sure there are no errors on my end, but I will not correct typos or grammatical errors submitted to me, as the "errors" I perceive may have been intentional. As such, I am not responsible for typos or misinformation in your final images. Please make sure to proofread all of the information you want included in your designs before submitting the information to me, and please double-check all proofs thoroughly before approving the final designs!
