Kimberly Martin, Owner and Lead Designer
I grew up in California in the '70s and '80s and have also lived in Oregon. I now live in Georgia just north of the Atlanta area. I have always been an avid reader and I love working with authors to help them bring their own book to life. Clients will often send me a copy of their book when it is done and I am always thrilled to see the work I helped create in print.
My design background started when I began to design the flyers and brochures for the retail shop I worked in for extra cash in the early '90s. This turned into my first small business creating similar items for other shops in the area. I left the retail store to work at Kinko's where I often copied and bound books for customers. I am a bit of a perfectionist which got me in trouble at work as I tossed out too much of what I considered poor quality and returning customers would walk out if I wasn't available to do their work.
During this time I started my own poetry website which quickly became a popular poetry community. I began creating websites and left my job at Kinko's to pursue my website business full-time. A few years later the poetry community decided they wanted to publish a book of poetry and turned to me for help. Like many new self-publishing authors I made a lot of mistakes. I spent too much money on the first book we published and was not happy with the results. I knew there must be a better way and started doing research and learned as much as I could about self-publishing and how to format books. I did both the interior and cover design on the next poetry book edition myself and all future books the community did were also done by me. The lessons I learned in this process lead me to create the self-pub.net website in 2003 so I could offer advice and information to other self-publishing authors. I soon started offering interior formatting and cover design services and that became the focus of my business.
I now have over 8 years of experience formatting books and creating covers for self-publishing authors and small publishers. As a self-published author myself I understand how important your book is to you and take great pride in all the books I format, no matter how big or small.
