Collaborators

A trusted circle for the parts of your author journey I don't hold myself.

Writing your story is only one piece of bringing it into the world. Along the way, you'll need other hands — a designer who can translate your voice into visuals, a formatter who can make your pages feel like a real book, a web presence that matches the story you're telling.

I don't refer lightly. Everyone on this page is someone whose work and integrity I trust — people who meet you the way I do: as a whole human first, a client second.

Jess Langley

Brand Designer & Business Doula, The Colorful Jess

When it's time for your words to have a visual home to match, I hand you off to someone I trust completely. Jess blends 14+ years of design experience with an intuitive, human-centered approach to helping creatives show up fully as themselves. For my author clients, her process mirrors mine: she starts with who you are before she ever opens a design file.

Services for my clients:

  • Cover Design — $500–$1,500 for 2–4 concepts, depending on complexity

  • Full Book Formatting — starting around $5,000 for a ~200-page manuscript, including cover art and optional interior graphics to break up the reading experience

  • Author Branding — starting at $2,500, for a full visual identity built around your story

  • Web Design — starting at $2,500 for a simple Squarespace site (she can also point you toward trusted referrals if you're building elsewhere)

Pricing varies by project size and scope — the numbers above are starting points, not fixed quotes.
