Who I am

 

My name is Marissa Honeycutt and I’m a published indie author and self-taught book formatter, graphics and trailer maker. I published my first book in 2014 and have released twelve books.

 

From the very beginning of my foray into the indie publishing world, I’ve sought to learn all I could about design. I started simply, working in Microsoft Word and Publisher. As I had time (and money) I started learning the abundant, amazing, and non-intuitive Adobe programs. Photoshop and InDesign are my main specialties, along with Premier Pro and After Effects for book trailers. I also work in Vellum, primarily for ebooks (though the program does a very nice paperback, too) since I like the complete control InDesign gives me for designing paperbacks.

 

I want every indie author to have a chance to succeed. Unfortunately, the old adage “Don’t judge a book by its cover” isn’t true. People do judge you by your covers, your graphics, and other things you put out there. A professional presence is incredibly important to your success.

 

Let me help you succeed!

 

Side Note: Starting out as an author is tough; mentally, emotionally, and financially. If you want to work with me, but are struggling to find the finances, reach out to me. I was new once and I remember what it was like. I had a lot of people help me out and I’ll help you, too.

​

For examples of my work, check out "My Books" on my website (which I designed!). Click "Learn More" under a book you're interested in and you'll see the teasers and trailers at the bottom of each page. All teasers and graphics (except book covers) were designed by me.
