Real Books. Real Authors. Real Results.

Every project you see here started as a manuscript - often from a first-time author.

My role is to transform those stories into fully illustrated, professionally designed children’s books that are ready for print and publishing.

Here’s a selection of recent projects, and you can also see more examples here.

Children’s books

Four Small Boys From Wales

Age Range: 6+ reading (4+ storybook)
Format: 42-page hardback
Services Provided: Full illustration, cover design, layout, promotion, marketing, video

A real life adventure story that explores friendship, facing up to bullies and the hilarious sweet taste of revenge.

We developed fun, colourful, expressive characters and exciting, immersive, funny illustrations.

The final book was bold and bright and printed as a high quality hardback.

Gallant St George and the Dragon of Wales

Age Range: 6+ reading (4+ storybook)
Format: 32-page hardback
Services Provided: Full illustration, cover design, layout, promotion, marketing

We are currently finalising the artwork for this book and we’re hoping to launch a Kickstarter campaign very soon.

Yes, there’s a dragon. Yes, there’s armour.
But it’s not quite the story you think.

At its heart, it’s a journey from anger and division…to friendship. Stay tuned for launch updates!

Fridge Monster

Age Range: 6+ reading (4+ storybook)
Format: 32-page hardback
Services Provided: Full illustration, cover design, layout, promotion, marketing

This is the very first book I’ve written and it is currently a ‘work in progress’ (I am working on it when I get time between projects).

Who is eating all the snacks? Is there a monster in the fridge? It’s a mystery waiting to be solved.

How I approach every project

Every book begins with planning.

Before full illustrations begin, we:

  • Map out pagination

  • Agree on trim size

  • Develop characters

  • Refine the visual style

  • Confirm illustration types (double-page spreads, spots, vignettes)

This ensures the finished book feels structured and professional - not improvised.

Support beyond illustration

Many authors also choose to include:

  • Amazon listing graphics

  • Social media launch visuals

  • Author branding assets

  • Posters and bookmarks

  • School visit materials

All designed to match the visual style of the book.

What you’ll notice across my work

  • ✔ Strong character expression

  • ✔ Clear visual storytelling

  • ✔ Professional typography

  • ✔ Print-ready accuracy

  • ✔ Consistent visual tone

Whether your story is gentle and emotional or bold and playful, the goal is the same:

To create a book that looks and feels like it not only belongs, but stands out on a bookshop shelf.

Thinking about your own book?

If you’ve written a manuscript and would like to discuss your options and understand what the next steps look like, I’d love to hear about it. No obligation. No pressure. Just clarity.
