About My Business
Creating and publishing a book on your own can be INTIMIDATING, TIME CONSUMING and REQUIRE INSPIRATION that you may not have at the moment. Need an editor, proof reader or designer? I can help. I am a published photographer and writer with a wide range of interests. I am also old but undaunted by computers and pixels!
I have helped design and publish many different types and styles of books, from children's books, wedding albums, personal memoirs, travel journals, blog books, and art portfolios. My wife is working on a series of essays and commentary of the Books of Mormon (Nephi, Isaiah, Mosiah) , and I am compiling a 35th anniversary commemorative book for a cattle breeders association.
An exclusive photographer for www.istockphoto.com, I have been the website manager for the 200 member Parker Artists Guild (http://parkerartistsguild.com) for two years, and an authorized bookmaker for BlurbNation.com since 2007.
Areas of Expertise
Editing and/or proofreading. Blurb Book design. Editing, scanning and sizing photographs. I am a biologist and was a Marketing and Technical Services Manager and International Project Manager (Korea, China & Thailand). I lived in southern Africa for 25 years. I photograph fine art for artists and write about my community for the local newspaper. My wife, Jan, an experienced executive secretary and teacher, proofs, edits and formats your text with a deft hand.
