Transform Your Memoir Manuscript into a Professional Masterpiece
Book Formatting & Cover Design for Your Memoir authors
You’ve poured your heart and soul into your book—don’t let subpar formatting or a lacklustre cover hold you back. First impressions are EVERYTHING when it comes to your memoir. Readers make snap judgments based on how your book looks, and a professional finish can make all the difference.
In the self-publishing world, it’s not just about having an important story to tell—it’s about presenting that story in the best possible light. The right formatting ensures that your book looks polished and is easy to read, while an eye-catching cover design will grab your reader’s attention and make them want to dive in. With professional book formatting and custom cover design services, you’ll be ready to impress readers.
My husband, Dyfed Edwards, takes care of this side of things for me. Dyfed says, "Drawing from decades of experience in both publishing and writing, I offer specialised expertise in book formatting and cover design. My background as an author has given me valuable insight into how books should look and feel to readers, while my extensive career as a journalist — primarily on the production side of regional daily and national daily newspapers — developed my eye for effective design. As a former design editor, I've cultivated a nuanced understanding of visual presentation, typography and layout that translates perfectly to book formatting and cover design. This combination of writing experience and design expertise allows me to approach each project with both aesthetic sensibility and practical knowledge. I work with authors to create professional, polished books with thoughtfully designed interiors and compelling covers that honor their content while appealing to readers. My goal is simply to help writers present their work in its best possible light."

When you work with Dyfed, you’ll receive:
Let us help you present your work the way it deserves to be seen. You’ve done the hard part—writing your memoir. Let us handle the rest.

Dear Marnie
Marnie was exactly the person we needed. Eric had written his memoir but it needed a thoughtful, expert edit and a bit of tidying. She was meticulous and sensitive in her reading and suggestions; also her enthusiasm for his writing and her understanding were so encouraging. She then steered us to just the right people to see it through and…
Wake Up Little Suzy Marnie – a trusted friend. I chose Marnie to help me with my first memoir back in 2017. My book had some very sensitive content. Marnie ensured I was kept ‘safe’ from any potential legal fall out. I felt confident that I was in the hands of selfless wisdom. She knows her subject intimately. Seven years…
When the Window Closes: What I learned caring for my mom while she was alive and dying I don’t know what to say except that Marnie is THE BEST! I found her in the acknowledgments a friend wrote in his memoir, and I messaged him to ask about her. He could not say enough good things, so I reached out to…
Marnie helped me dive deep and made sure my readers could understand where my character and the other characters were coming from. Most importantly, she helped me deliver the best memoir I could. For that I am very grateful and would suggest and recommend her to anyone who is looking to build something that they want and to have her…
