Client Feedback

Hear from our satisfied clients about their self-publishing journey.

Junko, as a Graphic Designer, immediately solidified my confidence that I was in great hands. She took on my project with phenomenal ownership to make sure my book was everything that I had envisioned.
Junko’s work ethics, eye for detail, artistic creative ability and assisting in suggesting set-up of the book, all demonstrated her expertise in her field. But, Junko’s kindness, humility and caring also endears her to her clients. I am indebted to her for helping me in so many ways, so that my own accomplishments would be realized. But I am also thankful for the privilege of working with such a talented and highly educated lady, in this field of work.
I would recommend Junko to anyone who has a need for graphic design work.

Junko formatted my first novel, A Murmur of Men, and I was thoroughly pleased with the end product. The interior design was somewhat complicated with shadows behind quotes and text boxes around parts of each chapter. Junko was able to follow my vision and quickly created a design that worked. My idea for the front cover was enhanced by Junko's graphic expertise and I loved the finished product. I would highly recommend Junko to help with any self-publishing project.

Junko took control of my autobiography. I presented the project to her and she was responsible to design, format and arrange the printing of my story. I was very happy with the final product and I would not hesitate to recommend Junko to tackle any printing project that you might have.

I would highly recommend Junko for any publishing project you may have whether it be large or small. She was very helpful to me when I self-published my second book, The Biscuit Bible. She is a talented graphic artist and provided valuable advice as to how to achieve a more professional layout. She is great to work with especially for those new to publishing and was very generous with her time and expertise. She is knowledgeable in the various requirements for a publishing project and guided me through every step.

Junko is 'a creative'! Like true creatives, Junko guided me to connect my own ideas with her expertise in self-publishing to create and publish my first book, When I went for a walk ... on the beach. Her knowledge of graphic design, art, and photography, as well as an ability to understand an individual author's needs, were invaluable in bringing my project to fruition. Junko's continued support, experience, and knowledge have helped me to create a series of books from this first book, which is now translated into six (6) languages. I thoroughly enjoy working with Junko and anticipate continuing to create many more books with her support and guidance.
