New Service
First Intensity Book Arts
Book and Cover Design

Specializing in books of poetry.

Let us make your book look great! To discuss terms and rates, send email with your title, page count and other details about your book -- we'll get right back to you. Terms and rates will depend upon the size and specifics of each project. Though we have a special fondness for poetry books, we're happy to work with novels, memoirs, biographies, non-fiction, short stories, essay collections, etc.

Please note that First Intensity Book Arts is not a publishing service; but we can take you through the entire pre-press process, making sure that your book is ready for publication. We'd love to hear about your project!
