Imagine saying comfortably: Go ahead. Judge my book by its cover.
To do that, you need to find someone who knows what they’re doing, and who can help you reach your dream readers – without guesswork and costly trial and error. That’s where I come in – whether you’re a first-time author who is full of questions, or a publishing veteran looking for a partner they can rely on to take care of all the technical details.
I speak and work in multiple languages – we can talk in English, Polish, or Norwegian. If you’d like some extra security, we can also collaborate through a bigger platform, such as Boldbooks.no or Reedsy.com.

Marta is fabulous! I was hesitant to hire someone I've never met, but also pressured by my limitations understanding all of Amazon's formatting requirements and needing to meet deadlines. She was perfect! She understood my needs and offered a super reasonable price. She was always quick to respond, clear in all of her communication with me, and her work was perfect. We never even had a glitch. She was both helpful and personable and I'm going to miss her! She nailed this job and I will always be grateful to her. She's a gem!
How does it work?
I have a clear, tried-out process – and following it with me is how you can stop stressing and dealing with stuff that threatens to steal your writing time. You’ll be back to working on your next creative project in a flash – but with a professionally designed book that you will be proud to display on your shelves.

Marta was fantastic! She was incredibly helpful and patient as we explored different font options for our interior design, always offering thoughtful suggestions along the way. She even added subtle illustrations that perfectly enhanced the eerie vibe we were aiming for. Marta’s expertise, creative touch, and professionalism made all the difference. She was also very timely and accommodating to our shifting schedule. We’ll definitely be working with Marta again!
Selling a book with a bad cover is like showing up to a job interview in pyjamas – you might be a skilled specialist, but you will probably have a problem with getting hired.
