"Teena recently completed a self-published book project for me, including copy editing, graphic design, typesetting, and cover design. I am thrilled with the work Teena did. I especially appreciated her attention to detail and creative insight. The cover Teena created perfectly complements the theme of this nonfiction book. Teena completed the work in a timely manner, keeping me in the loop for every step. I would definitely recommend Teena’s services."
