Mind the Margins

"I was working on a book project with a group of authors, and although the book was essentially ready, the person we had hired to help us wasn't completing the work in a timely or professional manner. We were stuck and weren't sure what to do. Lorie DeWorken quite literally saved the day! I'm not sure what we would have done without her. Her level of professionalism, expertise, and dependability were a breath of fresh air to the project, and she helped us get the book over the finish line. I can't recommend Lorie highly enough!"

"Lorie was recommended to us and I have to say that this was great advice. We were really pleased that we emailed Lorie and asked if she could help us out as the communication, the quality of the work, and the time frames were all of the highest quality. She delivered before time, and was really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Lorie and will definitely use her again. Thanks Lorie."

"Lorie is extremely talented and has a professional style that fosters a genuine working relationship. Highly recommended. It was a delight working with her."

"Lorie is a pleasure to work with, always willing to make changes until I'm satisfied. I am particularly impressed with how she designed the print versions of my books. Her font and layout choices really added to the overall professional look of the books, which is very important for an independent author."

"Lorie Was fantastic to work with. She created such a professional looking ebook. She was so easy to work with and I would highly recommend her."

"Lorie was perfect. She created exactly what I had envisioned in my head pretty quickly. Her first 3 page options she provided nailed it on the first try so there wasn't much for me to say except "good to go!" will be getting her to do my next ebooks!"

"She helped me convert my book to an EPUB file with 32 pictures and different fonts. It looks beautiful. She communicated and was clear on deadlines that she met. I highly recommend!"

"Lorie was the greatest gift to me in the crazy, "I have no idea what I'm doing" process of getting my book published. My only regret is that I did not do a local search and find her before spending so much time and frustration with an earlier book designer I found on Reedsy. He was from Australia! And here Lorie was so close by and so amazing. She is incredibly prompt, helpful, talented and reassuring when you are worried or wondering how to make your book its best. She was so patient and helpful when I needed to correct the text at least three times. You will do yourself a favor using her talents to bring your talent to light. "

"Lorie did an incredible job on our project. We will definitely be working with her in the future!"

“Great cover design, book formatting, and ebook creation. Lorie took my suggestions and created a more beautiful book than I ever could have imagined! I'm a happy customer, and I've already hired her again!”

"Lorie was joy to work with. I would definitely hire her again as she treated it like a partnership and offered proactive solutions to any challenges we faced."

"My first cover, layout and design partner did not work out. My 30 year project was done and desperately needed help. I was referred to Lorie by a local Missouri author who had a wonderful experience with her. Lorie took my project and executed every aspect with pinpoint compatibility to my vision. Lorie is thorough, communicative, punctual, easy to work with and very skilled. I am completely satisfied and recommend her to anyone needing a quality manuscript partner."

"One of the best experiences I've had on Upwork has been with Lorie. Not only highly professional and good at her craft, but just a very nice gal to work with. She went above and beyond the call of duty to offer fantastic advise and expertise to me and I am extremely happy I hired her. You can't find a better person to help you with your Ebook, thanks Lorie!"

"Lorie created a beautiful, print-ready paperback design for my new book. We went through a couple of versions together until we agreed on the best format. Excellent work."

"Lorie, you are the BEST of the BEST, and I just can't tell you how much you and your work mean to our small, family run business. Thank you so much for doing such an excellent job for us, once again! You're a pleasure to work with. Very high quality, proactively offering expertise and suggestions, timely completion, fair price, easy to work with. I could go on and on."

"Lorie was extremely good at communicating throughout the project even as I had a few changes to the timing. Her expertise and willingness to accept feedback was fantastic!"

"Lorie DeWorken is talented, creative, and friendly. She was flexible and professional throughout the book design process, and provided me with numerous style options for fonts, the introduction, and chapter headings. I love how my book turned out! If you want an amazing designer, choose her. You won’t regret it. I highly recommend Lorie’s work."

"Lorie is fantastic!!! Her initial product is wonderful, and she is responsive to feedback that gets you where you want to see the end result. Thanks so much for all your time and dedication, Lorie!! I so appreciate having had the opportunity to work with you!"

"Lorie is amazing to work with. She took the project very seriously and was very detailed through the process. Her work was top notch and I'm very happy I found her."

"I heard about Lorie DeWorken three years ago from an author on LinkedIn who said she had a fabulous book designer who could work miracles. She was right. Lorie’s been the designer for 10 of our books and she’s always a pleasure to work with. Professional, reliable, willing to accommodate changes, even at the last minute. She is, in the true sense, a designer - offering wonderfully creative ideas for both print and EBooks. Her EBook conversions have been flawless, which counts for a lot when you see how many poorly produced EBooks are on the market today. All of our authors have been enormously pleased with her work."
