Combining creative design with technical process
Our skills as book designers have been nationally recognised, having won numerous national book design awards across a range of publications. In addition to the design component, the nature of this work necessitates methodical organisational skills and proficiency in desktop publishing. We have an understanding of all the components of book publishing - writing, editing, illustration, proof reading, indexing, design layout and artwork. We are happy to help in any or all of these areas to successfully see a project through to completion.

Telling your organisation's history is our specialty. Combining, words, pictures and graphics to produce a rich record of events for present and future audiences is a real thrill. We have produced histories for BHP, IGO, Ramsey Healthcare, MLC, City of Perth and the Town of Victoria Park to name a few.
We have a strong history of working with authors and illustrators to produce successful children's books loved by children and adults alike. We assist with planning, design, artwork and printing. Titles such as 'The Sausage that Went for a Walk' and 'Where's Stripey' are just two of many enduring favourites.
If you take the time to listen, everyone has a great story to tell. Some of us even put it to paper. We can preserve your memories and experiences by carefully placing words and images into beautiful designed pages of books. Books that will talk to readers today and in the future.
Telling a great story is a real art-form, and so is publishing it. We have helped many authors and publishers turn manuscripts into beautifully crafted books. From layout to typography we can help design and print your novel.
