“Wow” Appeal
I did a layout myself and felt quite pleased with my work, but the book just did not have that “wow” appeal. Now I realize I could have saved myself several hundred hours of work and enjoyed the process more fully in the meantime.

Working Long-distance
Though I was living in St. Louis and he was living in Utah, Nathan walked me through the process of organizing images, developing the index, and other issues necessary prior to the printing of the book—all via phone and email.
-Tom Farmer, When the Saints Came Marching In
Clarifies Steps
I briefly told Nathan my dilemma, and in a short amount of time, he outlined for me a simple, clear-cut list of steps I would need to take to begin putting my book together. I went home and went to work, then met with him about a month later for more direction.

Teaches You as He Goes
Wow! In an hour-and-a-half consultation, Nathan put my mind at ease, addressed all my questions, gave me lots of ideas by showing me examples of the work he has done, and taught me the basic principles of design that I will need.

Finds Problems Before They Happen
Nathan’s work is impeccable. He went beyond the standard expectation, identifying and flagging potential problems. He sought clarification before proceeding, rather than rushing through just to “get the job done.” He sought excellence and was careful to ensure it was done right.
