Sarah Bennett is a joy to work with! Totally professional, totally creative, with elegant taste, a sharp eye for detail, the patience for draft after draft after draft, and the good humor to make the whole process as much of a pleasure as the finished product.

Having never published a book, let alone designed one, finding Sarah Bennett was the best thing that could have happened. Her artistic eye, understanding of poetry, and knowledge of the production process, made working with her a pleasure. I always looked forward to her layout suggestions and willingness to play with ways to incorporate my botanical drawings. The final product is beautiful!

I highly recommend Sarah Bennett. I was very impressed with her efficiency, creativity, and design skills. As soon as she had my manuscript, she began the layout process by sending me various possibilities to consider and making excellent suggestions. We worked together, back and forth by email, to make steady progress. She designed an amazing cover that I feel reflects the heart of the book. Within two months, the project was completed and back from the printers. The final product exceeds my expectations!

Sarah passionately, patiently and persistently designed my book with me. She literally made all the pages by collaging the basketball pictures from my high school year book! Who else would think to do such an amazing thing? She creates a uniquely personal launching pad in which to collaborate.

Sarah has really done a wonderful job with this. A scrupulous editorial eye and a tremendous sense of style when designing and producing a book, but also great kindness and understanding. Sarah is a fine poet herself, who has a lot of sensitivity to the work of others. A terrific person to work with, Sarah Bennett is a top choice for a beautiful book.

I saw what Sarah did to help my cousin self-publish her book and was so impressed I contacted her to do mine. Her estimate was clear, no surprises, and she included so many things I never would have considered. Sarah’s work is done with attention to detail, clean design, and clear guidance for the author, all ending up with a professionally designed product. When I first started my project, I looked all over the internet for guidance but quickly became discouraged until Sarah came along. No stress, a full understanding of my wishes, and best of all, taking me across the finish line!.

In addition to experience and expertise, Sarah has a discerning eye and a strong color sense. She incorporated my preferences and offered me an array of choices. Her attention to detail is superb. Our exchange of ideas was open and agreeable. I could not be happier with the process or the outcome of our work together.

Sarah Bennett designed the book of my dreams. Her sensitive reading of my poems made them look their best on the page. She is a pleasure to work with.

Sarah Bennett is a gem. She crafted my poetry book with talent and patience, and shepherded it quickly through production and printing at an affordable price.

Sarah Bennett was recommended by a colleague. She was terrific. She had previously designed smaller books; mine is 442 pages with over 200 photos. Because of the book’s size and complexity, we had many iterations of design and layout. She made helpful editorial suggestions and developed an organized method of communicating changes and photo placements so that we literally were on the same page. Her rates were reasonable. I highly recommend her.
