BOOK Design Circle
We all deserve an opportunity to be seen through our work.
Est. 2025
This private and FREE 7-week design circle is an opportunity to create, learn, and gain a one-of-a-kind experience into the publishing industry.
You will get a glimpse into the process of book design, hear from publishing professionals, and create a finished project(s) that will go in your portfolio with an extended resume and cover letter review.
