Do you often feel isolated as a book designer?
Do you wish you had a mentor or trusted community to turn to for support and guidance?
Me too! And that’s why I created the Book Designer Collective.
I've been a full-time book designer for 15 years—the last decade of which I’ve been a freelancer and solopreneur. I've loved helping countless authors bring their visions to life.
But through it all, I've felt firsthand just how isolating and challenging this career path can be. (Although, it’s exciting and liberating too.)
That’s why I’m thrilled to tell you about the Book Designer Collective—an exclusive membership created just for book designers, where you can:
✅️ Connect with other book designers in a private community—without the competition mindset
✅️ Expand your skills and elevate the quality of your services
✅️ Stop trying to do it all alone, and thrive in a passionate book design community, with people who actually get it
✅️ Elevate the quality of self-published books and better serve you clients—creating a more fulfilling and rewarding career
Sound good?
Get on the waitlist—the doors are opening soon!
By joining the waitlist, you’ll be the FIRST to know when the doors open.
Together, we’ll create beautiful books, thriving careers, and a design community where you truly belong:
Not for web designers.
Not for brand or marketing designers.
Not for general graphic designers.
Just for BOOK designers! 🥳
If you’re passionate about your career as a book designer and would love to be able to swivel your chair around and ask a colleague when you have a question, then this is for you.
If your family and friends still have no idea what it is you actually do (my family thought I was an editor for YEARS, even though I was always a book designer 😆), then you need design peeps to hang out with!
Inside the Book Designer Collective, you’ll get:
📚 A live, monthly Q&A call with the replay posted to an ever-growing library
📚 A live, monthly small group call (not recorded) where you can connect and chat freely with other book designers.
📚 A monthly resource or training added to an ever-growing library
📚 A private community discussion area with no ads or distractions. Ask the group questions, share the latest cool InDesign trick you discovered, share your work, talk all things book design, publishing, business, and mindset.
📚 The best part—a community of supportive, collaborative peers to learn from and travel our path with.
📚 We are now newly hosted on Circle.so, which means there is a mobile app and desktop app available 🥳, in addition to the regular old way of signing in from your web browser :)
Hey, I'm Rachel—book designer, entrepreneur, and dog + horse mom.
For over 15 years, I've been deep in the world of book design. I started as an employee and worked for two different publishers, then transitioned to freelancing in 2015, and finally founded Printed Page Studios in 2021, where I focus on working one-on-one with self-publishing, nonfiction authors.
I've had the privilege of helping countless authors transform their dreams into beautifully crafted books, but along the way, I discovered a challenge that many freelance book designers face: isolation and the lack of a supportive community.
For years, I longed for a place where I could get help, where I could connect and collaborate with other book designers—a place that simply didn’t exist.
The Book Designer Collective is my way of turning this vision into reality—and I invite you to join me in building a community where we all thrive.
When I'm not designing books, I'm likely reading a book, riding my horse, Chance, or walking my dog, Roo :)
I simply cannot wait to meet you inside the community. 💫
—Rachel
