About

Jutta I. Stawitz, self-publishing coach and production manager, has been freelancing as a production manager and graphic designer since 1989. 
She began her training in Frankfurt, Germany, working with the tourist industry and other companies as a designer and production manager. Her focus was on corporate brochures, corporate identity packages, and newsletters. 

Relocating to Nova Scotia in 1999, Jutta worked primarily in the field of book design. She co-founded Adventurer Press in Halifax in 2002, a small press, which produced books of art and poetry. 
Jutta's focus at Publish Yourself is in managing the details of production, helping to match clients with the services most suited to their needs, and seeing the projects through to their fruition. She has a full understanding of the printing process and is current with all industry standard programs.

Marguerite Sands, principal designer, has a background in art education and the art of education, in addition to her training in graphic and web design. These fields come together in her particular enthusiasm for the book form (as well as other communications media). 

With a broad range of design experience gained over the past several years, Marguerite takes pride in making your work look as good as possible, with particular attention to typographic detail, organization, and overall aesthetics. Samples from some of her other work may be viewed here.
