Kami Havens

Price range/rate: RS+ – $250PFH. (Includes all production and admin.) I offer a discounted rate to authors working with me for the first time. Contact me for details.
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Genre: All

Originally from New Jersey, I moved to Los Angeles many years ago to pursue my acting career.

During the lockdown, I was desperate to keep the creative juices flowing. My husband writes short stories and asked me if I would narrate one for him. I took out my iPhone and recorded it. I had so much fun doing it!

As an avid audiobook listener, I decided I wanted to learn more about audiobook narration. Since I am a professionally trained stage, TV, and film actress with 30 years of training and experience, I thought to myself, “This might be perfect!”

After tons of research and AMAZING coaching, I built my home studio, purchased the proper equipment, and gave it a go.

I booked my first project shortly thereafter and haven’t looked back since! I’m so glad I took the leap and I look forward every day to the blessing of bringing stories to audio life!

When not in my booth you can find me cheering on my favorite football team, watching a good documentary, or being whisked away by a wonderful audiobook. Often times I am chatting with other Breast Cancer survivors, loving on my family and friends, or snuggling with my fur babies.

Kristina is an artist and designer who started her work in graphic design, but always had a passion for books. She has been working alongside the publishing industry in one way or another for over ten years now. Her work as included cover designs, typesetting, map creation, promo images and videos, editing and proofreading, and more.

Although she enjoys creating covers in various genres, she prefers to work in fantasy and science fiction with original art (though she will defer to stock photos for a different quality when needed). Her love for the creative fields has given her experience in both traditional and digital art, including unique designs in black and white, illustrations, character art, scene art, and most recently 3D art. Add to that her love for typography, which has even led her to creating some custom fonts!

Thank you for looking through her work and be sure to check back on a regular basis as she updates her book covers on here.

Allie Moon

Location: Great Torrington, UK
Genre: YA, Romance, Fantasy, and Memoir

Hello word wranglers,

I’m Allie. I help authors transform their manuscripts into binge-worthy books by the power of meticulous, strategic editing, served with a side of genuine enthusiasm and love for your work.

My motto is: Your story, your way. I focus on boosting your unique, natural voice. We’re here to polish, not pulverize!

My editing style is practical and hands on, and my delivery is warm, funny, and positive. I’m very honest, and where I see areas for improvement, I’ll always offer suggestions. I’m also prone to lovingly yelling at both my authors and their characters about everything I love. My style isn’t for everyone, but for the people that resonate, it’s like having someone on your side who can polish your prose to a blazing beacon, and make you feel fantastic about it along the way.

I also coach authors who need support, cheer-leading, and practical goal-setting and feedback.

If you’d like to explore how I can help you, get in touch via my website or email. I usually suggest we start with a quick video call to get a feel for how we click, and how we might work together.
