Build an Author Brand
That Lasts
Distinctive. Credible. Unmistakably You.
A powerful author brand ensures every touchpoint —post, page, and pitch— earns recognition and trust. Let’s shape a presence that works as well as your words.
Publishing isn’t just about the book.
It’s about how you’re seen,
across every platform.
Most authors struggle to grow an audience not because they lack substance…
…but because their author brand feels scattered, generic, or forgettable
If you’re serious about connecting with the right readers, this is where it starts.

Doc Solammen
is the author of the critically-acclaimed novellas “Tangy Bonanza,” “The Nexus of Crisis,” and “Go-Devil Boogie.” He is published by Bedlam Press.
As a professional writer with three traditionally published novels in print, I wanted my first self-published book to be as polished and professional as those to which my readers are accustomed.
To that end, I was extraordinarily choosy about the freelancers to whom I entrusted the work’s cover art and layout. Ben’s stellar credentials compelled me to open a dialogue with him. I was impressed straight away with his responsiveness and focus on customer satisfaction.
Ben takes great pride in his work and quantifies success in happy and repeat customers, not dollars and cents. Impressed, I hired him—which turned out to be a perspicacious move on my part insofar as I’m ecstatic with the appearance of the new book.
In addition to completing a large and complex job on schedule, Ben cheerfully and promptly accommodated my requests to revise the one or two small details my neuroticism demanded.
Moreover, he stands behind his work to such an extent that he makes himself available to answer client questions even after a gig is formally concluded. If you’re looking for a top-tier layout artist, you cannot—CANNOT—do better than Ben.
