I will work with you on the book layout and cover design to give you the book you want, the book that is a pleasure to read. I will ensure that all chapter titles, page numbers, headers, widows, hyphenations, font sizes and images come together in a professional and attractive book layout.

Studies show that consumers spend eight seconds or less considering a book before moving on to the next one on the shelf — in other words, people really do judge a book by its cover.

• Don’t you feel that your book deserves more than eight seconds of attention?

Without professional layout and an eye catching cover, your book risks being lost among the thousands of other titles competing for attention from the media and the buying public.

Like writing, producing a high quality book takes time, effort, creativity and a keen sense of the book business. SpicaBookDesign supplies the design services and expertise necessary to put a professional face on the book you’ve worked so hard to create. With over 20 years of experience, we help authors get to market with a great looking, properly designed book, on time and on budget.

• Here's an offer: SEND us your book.

I promise we'll treat it with complete confidentiality.

We'll read it and get back to you with some ideas and questions about how you see marketing the book and your interest in on-line opportunities as well as traditional markets. And we'll do this at a price that makes sense for you and for us.

E-mail your questions at iryna@spicabookdesign.com.

Yours Sincerely,
Iryna Spica, book designer

I love books. I love libraries. I love our Munro’s Books and Chapters. I love reading books most of all and can’t imagine my life without books. That is why my profession and my passion are book design. I always have some books nearby to read. I am dreaming about my home book collection that have books of my favorite Russian, Ukrainian and English writers – Leo Tolstoy, Anton Chekhov, Ostap Vyshnya, John Galsworthy, Oscar Wilde, Somerset Maugham...

I came to Victoria from Ukraine in 2008. In Ukraine I was a newspaper designer and did books for my friends – the local writers. I believe that writers are special and interesting people, I love to listen their stories and ideas, to work with their manuscripts and to be helpful as much as possible...
