Book designer in Leeds
We’ve been designing books for Northern Bee Books and Peacock Press for over 10 years now. You can see some of them on Amazon.
We liaise with authors and guide them through the book design process; from their declaration of a finished manuscript right through to the final cover design and printing options.
We’ve also worked with The Pitfield Trust, World University Service and many independent authors to self-publish books for print but also Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and other print-on-demand services like Ingram Spark and Lightning Source.
We’ve designed over 65 books right here in Oulton, Leeds (near Rothwell/Woodlesford) and we will add more pictures of them in due course.

Free technical guide for self-publishing your book
If you’re looking to self-publish using Amazon Kindle Book Publishing then our free guide to supplying your manuscript might help a little bit.
The document outlines how to supply your files in order to make the book design process easier for the designer, and you. If it saves you time then it saves you money.
Ensure you meet print-on-demand requirements and that the book cover design turns out crisp and high resolution.
Magazine design
We also design magazines, the picture below shows Natural Bee Husbandry [NBH] Magazine published by Northern Bee Books.
We are redesigning and rebranding the magazine as Nature-Based Beekeeping – a joint venture between Bees for Development and Northern Bee Books. So as well as book design in Leeds we also get into magazine design now and then.
