Sun Rider Studio

Overview


One of the many reasons I wanted to start Sun Rider Press was because I enjoyed making books. I love the process of crafting a beautiful physical product from somebody’s words, stories, and photographs, and seeing it go on to have a life of its own.
With a strong desire to continue designing and producing books, I have launched Sun Rider Studio. It's a separate entity from Sun Rider Press, though the two are connected in name because the books are designed by the same person — me, Mike.
These projects are not published by Sun Rider Press. Instead, they are designed collaboratively with authors and creators from the ground up, using the tools and expertise needed to prepare a book for printing or self-publishing. In essence, Sun Rider Studio functions as a book design service.
It allows me to continue doing what I love while also working on books outside the travel genre, including projects connected to areas I’m passionate about such as music, food, and other creative fields.
How It Works
  • The process is straightforward and collaborative
  • Design work is quoted based on estimated hours or days
  • Payment is made in instalments over the course of the project

 

Additional details:

  • Interior design work is completed by Mike
  • An external cover artist may also be brought in if required
  • Mike prepares all files for professional print readiness
  • The author pays for printing separately
  • Mike’s ethos is to produce strictly independent books and therefore prefers to work on projects where a print run will be ordered from an independent printing company (even if it’s as low as 25 copies!)
  • Sun Rider Studio can also help source a reliable local printer
Booking a Consultation
If this sounds like something you might be interested in, you can book an introductory call. If we end up working together, the consultation fee will be deducted from the final bill. Like any other project I work on, I’m happy to help however I can by sharing knowledge, resources, and advice to support you on your publishing journey.
