Joan Ritchey, author of “The Brooch”

Ronald A. Kay, author of “Would You Rather Be A Monkey Or A Tree?”
Carla Perry helped with several important aspects of my illustrated children’s book, Would You Rather Be A Monkey Or A Tree?

David Filer, author of “Weather Patterns”
Dancing Moon Press recently published my poetry chapbook, Weather Patterns. In addition to working with my ideas about how the book should look, the project required utilization of images for front and back covers from governmental and private weather agencies. Everything worked out fine and the product looked exactly as I hoped it would.
Catherine Rickbone, author of “Labyrinth Dance”
Carla Perry was always ready to answer my questions, and I had many of them, as we produced my first poetry chapbook. Carla gave me guidance, but encouraged me to do some of the heavy lifting as well, which I relished and enjoyed. I trusted her editing skills as we evolved from draft to draft, [...]
Carolyn Parker, author of “Squeaky’s Farm”
Carla Perry and her professional team understood the spirit of Squeaky’s Farm. Their combined professional skills produced a book cover and design that complemented the message of my manuscript. I was especially happy with Carla’s ability to produce camera-ready scans of graphite illustrations and to always remain level-headed and focused when the going was challenging. Carla’s insightful [...]
