To the world of all things design and literary I'm JD Smith. To those who know me personally, I'm Jane who goes on epic mountain adventures in my free time.

I am first and foremost a graphic designer, having worked in the industry since I was seventeen. I love books too, both the physical and the words contained within and have written several historical fiction novels and a book on cover design. I'd like to think it was no surprise that I ended up immersing myself in the world of book design rather than marketing materials for corporate companies, but in many ways it was.

I work for traditional publishers of all sizes, independent presses and authors going it alone.

I love cake. Just in case you were wondering.
