The Face of the Girl

About the Project

The Face of the Girl is an historical novel written by Janny Beck Jameson. The novel spans the lives of several pioneer women living in Pennsylvania from the early 1700s to the late 1980s. The book includes narrative, maps, an historical time line, and family trees.

My Role in this Project

Janny Beck Jameson came to me with a manuscript that she wished to turn into a book. After editing and proofreading, I crafted the book into its current format. This included page layout, table of contents population, map illustration, time line research, family tree illustration, and cover design. Since the author wanted to produce both hardback and paperback versions, I created a cover design to fit each format.
