Michael Pietrobon
Small Business Owner, Book Designer, and Author in Toronto, Ontario
With over a decade of experience in publishing, I help authors bring their books to life with professional design, formatting, and guidance every step of the way. I founded Foglio Custom Book Specialists to give independent authors the same level of care and creative control I wanted when publishing my own books—without compromising on quality. My background in editing, typesetting, cover design, and ebook production allows me to oversee the entire process, from manuscript to finished product, ensuring that each book looks as good as it reads. I also specialize in accessible, validated EPUBs, fixed layout ebooks, and interactive formats that push the limits of digital publishing while remaining compliant with industry standards.
I’ve worked on everything from memoirs and poetry collections to 1,200-page medical textbooks, and I understand that every project requires a different approach. Some authors need help polishing a final draft, others need someone to manage the entire production process. My role is to offer expert support wherever it’s needed, whether that means designing a cover that sells, fixing a messy Word file, or making sure your print book and ebook both launch smoothly. I believe that independent authors should have the tools, expertise, and confidence to compete with traditionally published titles—and I’m here to make that possible.
