About this listen

In this conversation, Susie and Michelle explore what it truly takes to bring a book to life — not just through words, but through visual storytelling and mindful design. Michelle opens up about her creative process, how intuition and expertise work hand in hand in book design, and the importance of collaboration between authors and professionals in the publishing space.

They also discuss the evolving world of digital publishing, from AI’s impact on creative ownership to the EU’s new ebook accessibility laws, and how authors can prepare for the changes ahead. Michelle’s insight is both practical and heartfelt, reminding aspiring authors that publishing a book is never a solo journey — it’s a creative partnership built on passion, precision, and purpose.

Tune in to learn how to design books that not only look beautiful but truly transform readers — and maybe even inspire you to finally finish the damn book.
