Lorna Reid

Lorna Reid – Designer

I am a professional book formatter/interior designer who enjoys working in all genres, from fantasy and sci-fi to romance and YA fiction.

Overview

I am a professional book formatter/designer who enjoys working with clients from all over the world on their self-publishing journey. I format books for print and digital markets in a wide range of genres and have a passion for working with indie authors from all walks of life.

My love for books has been present throughout my life, and being able to work with authors to bring their books one step closer to publication makes my heart sing.

I have worked across a wide range of genres, and especially enjoy genre fiction, such as Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Romance, Thrillers, and sub-genres, such as YA, Urban, Paranormal, Dystopian, and Post Apocalyptic. I'm easy going, can work to tight deadlines, and have a good sense of humour. There is nothing I like more than seeing a client's work move out in the world and enrich it.

A few client testimonials:
----------------------------------
Being that this is my first time self-publishing, I wasn't sure how the formatting procedure would go. Lorna was excellent in informing me of how this process was going to go and she exceeded my expectations when it came down to professionalism and meeting deadlines. I plan on collaborating with her again in the future.

Lorna was fabulous to work with. She made changes without complaint and was patient when I ran a little behind schedule (waiting for the cover design from another designer.) Her work is picture perfect and I'm so happy to have found her.

I approached Lorna as a complete amateur and she was extremely patient and answered far too many questions! The formatting in 3 different formats was just as I hoped and more. I would not hesitate in recommending Lorna

I am a returning customer and plan to use Lorna again on future projects. Her quality of work is excellent, and she is very pleasant to work with in every stage of the collaboration. I cannot recommend enough.

I loved how she was so lovely and friendly! I think there was a little bit of a timezone barrier when it came to communication, and I wish we could've talked a little bit quicker about my project. Nonetheless, the job got done, and I'm pleased with the formatting! I am looking forward to publishing my book with Barnes and Noble!

Lorna has done the page layout for both of my novels and she has done a great job. She is always helpful with suggestions or advice about publishing, which as a newbie in self publishing I found very helpful. I'd highly recommend her.

Lorna was amazing to work with and paid close attention to what I wanted done, she also explained things that (as a first-time author) no one tells you so I'm very grateful for that and above all, she brought my book to life with a blood-stained twist. I LOVE my book's interior and the wait for it was worth it! Thank you, Lorna.
