Deborah Taylor

Deborah Taylor is the sole owner of DTaylor Graphics in Vashon, Washington, where she lives with her partner and a large poodle.  Experienced in working with CreateSpace and other publishers, as demanded by the individual project, she helps determine a book's visual character through her manipulation and organization of the authors’ words and images.  Her individually drawn maps, book layout and distinctive cover art contributed to the success of An Urban Life Journey from the Bronx, NYC to Victoria, BC. The book was her first collaboration with Gemma B. Publishing. 

Candice Gordon
