Every book we publish is produced by people who have spent their careers in publishing. Editors who have worked on titles across every major genre. Designers who understand the difference between a cover that looks good and a cover that sells. Project managers who keep production on schedule and authors informed at every stage.
This page introduces the core team behind Digi Book Studio. These are the people your Publishing Specialist coordinates with on your project. These are the people responsible for the quality of every book that leaves our studio.
Kevin founded Digi Book Studio in 2013 after a decade working inside traditional publishing. He watched authors sign contracts that did not serve them, lose rights they did not know they were giving away, and pay for services that were delivered below the standard they were promised.
Digi Book Studio was built as the alternative to that experience. Kevin oversees operations, author relations, and the standards that govern every service we offer. He is reachable directly at kevin@digibookstudio.com for authors who have questions or concerns that need to go to the top.
His publishing philosophy is straightforward: an author who understands exactly what they are getting, what it costs, and who is doing the work is an author who can make good decisions. Everything we do is built around giving authors that clarity.
Sarah has spent 14 years in professional editing across fiction, narrative nonfiction, and memoir. Before joining Digi Book Studio, she held editorial positions at two mid-size trade publishing houses and worked as a freelance developmental editor for authors publishing with major New York imprints.
She leads our editorial team, assigns editors to projects based on genre and workload, and personally handles developmental editing for our most demanding manuscripts. Authors working on literary fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction are frequently assigned to Sarah’s direct editorial oversight.
Her approach to editing is grounded in a single principle: the editor’s job is to serve the manuscript, not to rewrite it. Every author she works with leaves the process with a book that reads better and still sounds like them.
Marcus has been copyediting professionally for 11 years. His background is in academic and technical publishing, which means he brings a level of precision to consistency, terminology, and factual accuracy that general copyeditors frequently miss.
He builds the style sheet for every manuscript that goes through our full editorial process and conducts the final copyediting pass before manuscripts move to proofreading. Authors in business, self-help, health, and technical nonfiction benefit most directly from his specific area of expertise.
Priya is the last set of eyes on every manuscript before it goes to the design team. She has been proofreading professionally for nine years and holds a background in linguistics that informs how she approaches consistency in language use across long-form manuscripts.
Her role is quality control across the full editorial process. She reviews manuscripts after copyediting is complete, catches anything that survived the previous passes, and signs off on manuscripts before they move into production. If something is wrong with a manuscript that reaches the design stage, it went past Priya, which does not happen often.
Jordan has designed book covers professionally for 12 years. Her portfolio spans literary fiction, commercial thriller, romance, business nonfiction, children’s books, and illustrated nonfiction. She has worked with authors publishing independently and with authors whose publishers include major traditional houses.
She leads every cover design project from brief through final file delivery. Before she produces a single concept, she studies your genre, your comparable titles, and your target reader. The covers she produces are not generic. They are built to compete on the shelf and in the thumbnail.
Jordan’s covers have appeared on titles that reached Amazon bestseller lists in their categories. She does not lead with that fact because she knows a bestseller list ranking involves more than a cover. But a cover that does not work never gives a book the chance to find out.
Daniel has been formatting book interiors for print and digital publication for ten years. He works across all trim sizes, all genres, and all levels of interior complexity, from straightforward trade fiction to heavily illustrated nonfiction with charts, tables, and embedded images.
He produces print-ready PDF files for every printer and distributor we work with and EPUB files that pass technical review on every major retail platform. His work is the reason authors open their proof copies and feel like they are holding a traditionally published book.
Daniel also handles fixed-layout EPUB production for children’s books and illustrated titles, a specialty that requires a different technical skill set from standard reflowable eBook formatting.
Renee manages every audiobook project from manuscript preparation through platform submission. She has worked in audio production for eight years, with a background that spans podcast production, commercial voiceover, and audiobook engineering.
She oversees narrator selection, coordinates recording sessions, manages the editing and mastering process, and handles technical submission to ACX, Findaway Voices, and additional distribution platforms. Authors who have tried to navigate the ACX submission process on their own before working with Renee frequently describe the difference as significant.
She maintains relationships with a roster of professional narrators across genres and vocal styles. When she recommends a narrator for your book, that recommendation comes from direct knowledge of the narrator’s range, reliability, and genre fit, not from a marketplace search.
Alicia is the Publishing Specialist most authors interact with first and most frequently throughout their project. She has been managing author projects at Digi Book Studio for six years and has overseen production for over 400 books across every genre and format we publish.
Her job is to make sure your project moves forward on schedule, that every team member delivering work on your book has what they need, and that you know exactly where your book is in the production process at every stage. She is the person you contact when you have a question, a concern, or a change in direction.
Authors consistently describe working with Alicia as the thing that made the publishing process feel manageable. That is the job she has been doing for six years, and she is good at it.
Marcus handles platform submissions, metadata management, and post-publication account support for every book we distribute. He has spent seven years working specifically with Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, and the full range of distribution platforms we submit to.
He knows the technical requirements of every platform we work with, how to resolve submission errors before they become delays, and how to manage metadata updates, price changes, and edition revisions after a book is live. Authors who have dealt with platform rejections and submission errors on their own before working with Marcus understand what his specific expertise saves them.
In addition to our in-house team, Digi Book Studio works with a network of editorial advisors, experienced authors, publishing industry veterans, and genre specialists, who consult on specific projects when a manuscript falls outside our in-house team’s direct area of experience.
This happens infrequently. Our in-house editors cover the full range of genres we publish. But when a manuscript requires expertise we do not have on staff, a highly technical scientific work, a book in a language other than English, or a project with production requirements outside our standard scope, we bring in an advisor with the relevant background rather than assign the project to someone who is not the right fit.
We will tell you when this is the case before production begins. You will know who is working on your manuscript and why.
Digi Book Studio hires editors, designers, and publishing specialists on an ongoing basis as our author volume grows. We look for people with professional publishing experience, a commitment to author-centered work, and the ability to deliver consistently at a high standard.
If you are an experienced editor, cover designer, interior formatter, or audiobook production specialist and want to be considered for a position on our team, send your resume and a brief description of your publishing background to kevin@digibookstudio.com with the subject line “Team Application.”
We review applications on a rolling basis and respond to every submission.
Your book deserves people who know what they are doing. Every member of our team has spent years developing expertise in their specific area of publishing. When you work with Digi Book Studio, that expertise is applied to your manuscript from the first editorial pass through the final distribution submission.
