Hi, I’m John Callahan, a seasoned book designer with a passion for crafting visually compelling covers and layouts that bring stories to life. With over two decades of experience in the publishing world, I’ve had the pleasure of designing for some of the biggest names, including Macmillan Learning, Pearson Education, and HarperCollins. From initial concepts to final production, I take pride in creating designs that resonate with readers while ensuring they meet all technical and market standards.
My expertise covers every stage of the design process—from brainstorming impactful cover visuals to creating cohesive interior layouts that make the reading experience smooth and enjoyable. I love using the latest design tools, including Adobe Creative Suite and Generative AI software like Adobe Firefly, to push creative boundaries. Whether you need a bold, attention-grabbing cover or a clean, elegant interior design, I’m all about delivering high-quality results on time and within budget.
Having worked extensively in educational publishing, I’m well-versed in managing large, complex projects and ensuring that all elements come together seamlessly. My designs have not only won multiple awards at the New York Book Show but have also helped boost textbook sales by making educational content more engaging and accessible. I believe in the power of collaboration, working closely with authors, editors, marketing teams, and production specialists to ensure that every book I design is a perfect fit for its audience.
If you’re looking for a designer who can bring fresh ideas to your next project, let’s chat! I’m passionate about storytelling through design and can’t wait to help your book stand out in a crowded market.
