From stories of loss, love, and addiction, to business, health, and travel—memoirs are one of those book design projects we feel uniquely connected to. To truly do a memoir book justice, a designer must not only have book layout design expertise and talent. They must also provide a personalized one-on-one experience, offering guidance in both the design and publishing spaces. At Mayfly, this is the exact kind of customized service we offer. Because memoir book layout design is about much more than just formatting words on a page. It’s about collaborating together to produce a stunning book that captures your story in a way that feels unique to you.

Clear Communication & Collaboration
Communication and collaboration are essential to the success of your project, which is why you will have direct access to a team specifically dedicated to your project throughout the entire book design process. Your team will be there to answer any questions you have along the way and will discuss all potential challenges that might be encountered with your book layout in advance, keeping you in the loop at all times.

Our team can also help you with any front- or backmatter, including a dedication, acknowledgments, table of contents page, glossary, index, and an author page as a final close to your story.
