About the founder
You wrote the book. I help authors bring it to life.
I’m Frank Deardurff III, and I’ve been designing, publishing and marketing for nearly 30 years. I’ve helped bestselling authors, built high-converting websites, and created graphics that move books.
I’ve been on both sides of publishing, traditionally published and self-published, and I know what it takes to make a book stand out.
You don’t need a publisher’s approval to publish like a pro. You just need the right design, layout and platform. That’s what Author Design Studios is here to help you do.
You only get one first impression. Make it unforgettable.
Choose the package that fits your book, and let’s turn your manuscript into a professional book and author platform.
