Freelance Designer for Children's Books and Wellness Products
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Ongoing Freelance Designer Needed (Print + Digital)
Hello! I’m Sharon Thayer, an award-winning children’s book author and publisher with an expanding product line (including both children’s books and a women’s wellness gift product).
I’m looking for a reliable freelance graphic designer to partner with on an ongoing basis — someone I can return to regularly for design and production needs.
Must-Have Skills (Primary Focus)
These are essential:
Book interior layout experience (Adobe InDesign)
Strong print design skills (sell sheets, postcards, inserts, packaging)
Ability to create press-ready printer files
(correct sizing, bleeds, crop marks, CMYK, PDF/X export standards)
Comfortable working with printer templates and requirements
Able to assist with submitting/uploading final files to printers when needed, so I am not in the middle of the production process
Nice-to-Have Skills (Secondary / Occasional)
These are a bonus, but not required:
Social media post templates (Canva or Adobe)
Simple ad layouts and promotional graphics
Brand-consistent digital assets for email or online marketing
Style & Fit
I’m looking for design that feels:
Warm, uplifting, and gift-market friendly
Professional, clear, and not overly corporate
Suitable for families, women’s wellness, and heartfelt storytelling products
Working Relationship
Ongoing freelance work as needed
Starting with a small paid test project (exercise/instruction card)
Opportunity for long-term partnership if it’s a great fit
Prefer working with one consistent designer as my primary point of contact
To Apply
Please share:
3–5 portfolio samples (especially print layout work)
Confirmation that you work in InDesign and can deliver printer-ready PDFs
Any experience submitting files to commercial printers
Thank you!
