Are you an artist wondering how to get into book design? Are you a writer wondering how book covers are made, and who gets a say? Want to develop your own unique typography to make your work unique?

Oliver McPartlin is a graphic designer, illustrator, and artist from Vancouver, Canada. Oliver has over ten years of freelance and in-house experience in indie book publishing, as both Art Director and Production Manager. He specialised in cover design, typography, and internal layout for literary fiction and graphic titles, while occasionally working with video, motion graphics, 3D and AR.
