Tabitha Lahr

I am a book designer with 20 years of experience and knowledge of book cover and interior design, and print production. I highly value meeting tight deadlines, keeping clients within their budgets—with a good attitude, and loving patience. Writing a book is a tremendous achievement, and I want every author’s book to get the great designs they deserve.
