What I Do
Hello! I’m Iseabail Lane, (my friends call me Ish) an experienced book designer, layout specialist, and publishing consultant. I help authors, small presses, and entrepreneurs transform their manuscripts into polished, professional, beautifully formatted books ready for print or digital release.
With deep experience in fiction, nonfiction, workbooks, children’s books, historical manuscripts, herbal guides, and illustrated titles, I bring a blend of technical precision and artistic sensitivity to every project. My goal is simple: to make your book look as good on the inside as it reads on the page.sh

Why Work With Me
I understand both the art and the engineering of book layout. From margin math and running heads to typography, kerning, widows/orphans, and visual pacing — I handle the details so your book feels intentional, readable, and professionally crafted.
Authors often tell me they appreciate:
- My ability to take rough manuscripts and turn them into polished interiors
- My attention to detail in long-form, complex projects
- My experience producing books that blend creative storytelling, education, and design
- My supportive, collaborative style
If you want a layout designer who treats your book with the same care and pride you do, you’re in the right place. Let’s make something beautiful together.
