Book Design & Artwork

Standard services include the formatting and design for interiors and covers of ebook (Kindle), softcover and hardcover editions, book trailers, press releases, merchandise design, and original illustrative art to fit any genre.

Anna Faktorovich creates original cover art paintings or designs. A portfolio of drawing styles is available at ArtStation. Any style from a simple line-drawing, to a complex science fiction space scene can be created on request and at no additional cost. Authors are invited to give their ideas on the type of cover that would help sell their book.

“I’m a Belgian who has been a fulltime author for 30 years now in the Netherlands and Flanders. But as a foreigner, I didn’t know exactly what to expect when Anna and I combined forces to present the American public an overview of the themes in my novels by means of a the short story collection, Dangerous Obsessions. I was very pleased with the professionalism and the guidance of Dr. Faktorovich. In a fast changing market, she combines the strength of traditional publishing with the opportunities of the latest technical innovations and marketing techniques.”

“I have some 700 publications including 13 books. Most of my experiences have been positive though now and again a publisher has caused me real pain. I published a small memoir with Anaphora and everything worked smoothly, efficiently, and the end result is a lovely little volume. Anna Faktorovich, the publisher, does an outstanding job acquiring, editing, and overseeing production. She then markets through the usual channels and attends countless conferences and conventions displaying Anaphora titles. Thanks!”

“First and foremost, service is fast and professional. Reviewing my book took a day. Editing only took a couple of weeks. The time between final edits and printing is only about three weeks. I know others who have published with small presses and it seems that Anaphora is superior to many of these companies. You feel like you are part of a team or a family when it comes to promotion. As the company grows, I feel that it benefits the authors as much as it does the publisher. Overall, it has been a good experience and I recommend Anaphora.”

“In publishing my memoir, Anna Faktorovich proved to be especially adept at designing a book with chapter epigraphs, five distinct parts, and many photographs.”

“Anaphora is the future face of publishing – reaching out and offering talented writers the opportunity, not to be squashed by BIG publishers, but an opportunity to share their unique voices with an audience of attentive, concerned, inquisitive readers. Anaphora is analogous to that special boutique down the street, offering those funky, delightful clothes you love that you will never find in an off-the-rack major store. Anaphora’s titles set the standard for ’boutique’ publishing where that special book awaits that special reader.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed working with Anna Faktorovich on the publication of my essay ‘Ted Kooser’s Art of Waiting’ in the Pennsylvania Literary Journal (an Anaphora journal) in Summer 2014. A simple query to Anna led to a productive dialogue and eventually to publication of the essay. I found Anna an ideal editor to work with, and I was quite satisfied with her editorial work on my essay. The publication was professionally done and on time, and that fact, in itself, merits praise.”

“Working with Anaphora on two books has been a pleasure. Anna Faktorovich is quick, efficient, accurate, and professional in both the production and post-production phases.”

“Anaphora Literary Press provides a business foundation for the books it selects for its catalog. The press is willing to take on quality material that isn’t necessarily ‘mainstream’ because the press believes in promoting literature of worth. Having taken on a work, the press ensures a quality product, innovative presentation, and marketing support. I believe my own work benefited from the professional, business approach of the press and has probably sold more copies than it might have done with a different press.”
