I'm Lisa...the graphic designer who partners with authors to help them influence the world with their books.
I've been designing BOOK COVERS & INTERIORS since 2003 and began my career learning the dos and don'ts of book design from large publishing houses. Since 2010 I have partnered my skills and expertise with self-publishing authors to bring the highest level of professional book design services directly to them. I provide authors with the large publishing house quality book design services they deserve as well as consultations for the self-publishing process.
Other design services include crossover brand identity and marketing materials an author needs:
• Card decks
• Logo design (brand identity system)
• Social media graphics
• Course workbooks
• Opt-in PDFs
• Postcards + bookmarks
• Speaking event display signage, etc.
I love working one-on-one directly with authors to bring their book vision to life. It is always a thrill to experience a first-time author's excitement of seeing their manuscript look like a "real book" after they get the cover design concepts all the way through to the first proof PDF of the full interior.
"YOU are making this MORE than I could have dreamed of! You are THE PERFECT PERSON to be doing my book. Not only are you excellent at what you do, but I am falling in love with your heart in the process. I’m so glad to be partnering with you!" ~ Ginger E. "The Word Way"
"I truly appreciate your support, education, and attention to detail. Thank you so much for your dedication to making this book shine." ~ Katie H. "Charlie Learns About Her Allergies"
"Lisa is so buttoned up in her process. She'd send me a proof then there was a questionnaire I'd fill out. Everything is well documented." ~ Dubb A. "From The Cult To The Kingdom"
"I was not sure how the process would work and self-publishing my first book, it was daunting. Lisa guided me through the entire process with clarity and respect." Bethann M. "The Invitation"

Find your dream assistant now
This is such a needed service for authors. I've used VA/PA services from other well-known freelance platforms, but they can be overwhelming and daunting. Looking for an assistant who has some knowledge of the author world (such as Bookbub Ads) is like looking for a needle in a haystack with these larger platforms.
I had been dragging my feet on hiring a more permanent VA/PA for so long because I didn't want to have to deal with looking through that proverbial haystack, but Busy Bee makes it so easy to find the assistant you need for the work you need as an author. Thank you, Brian!!
