Barbara Scott-Goodman is an author, art director, and designer of cookbooks and lifestyle books. Barbara writes, “I have designed, written, packaged, and produced a number of books for many publishers including Penguin, Chronicle, and Rizzoli. I have also worked as a design and editorial consultant for traditional publishers and self-publishing projects. I love books!”

I’m an award-winning designer of book covers and complex interiors, including art directing photographers and illustrators. My experience includes cookbooks, architecture, arts and crafts, kids, corporate histories, sports, how-tos, interior design/decorating, wellness, and photography books. Clients include Abrams, Chronicle Books, Callisto Media, DK, Melcher Media, The Monacelli Press, Quarto, and Sterling. Let’s talk about your project.

Kelly Design NYC is a boutique graphic design studio in the West Village of NYC, where award-winning design is created for trade book publishing. With a specialization in type-driven design for visually oriented illustrated book interiors and covers, I focus primarily on non-fiction: gift books, cookbooks, intriguing collectibles, picture books and health for both adult and tween markets.

I can handle a book beginning with just the manuscript and visually develop the content, arranging the visual hierarchy to work with the text. Or I can edit existing art to best convey the essential communication.

I’ve created books for a number of the big five publishing houses as well as small book publishers. I moved onto books after a career in editorial design and art direction at major publications in NY (Mademoiselle, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, Spin and Newsweek—among others).

I’m open to opportunities for projects with smart, fun, collaborative clients.

Working directly for publishers or in partnership with book packagers, Tom Carling has produced hundreds of children’s trade and school/library nonfiction books for publishers such as Scholastic, National Geographic Kids, Time Inc, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Dorling Kindersly (Eyewitness). This naturally led to assignments from high school and college textbook publishers, like Macmillan Learning, who, wishing to tap Tom’s expertise in trade publications for young readers, have engaged him to design some of their most important titles in the sciences and humanities. Tom lives and works out of his loft in lower Manhattan, next to the Brooklyn Bridge.

I am a copy editor, proofreader and sensitivity reader. I review content in all formats (text, images, videos) for authenticity, problematic language and internalized bias as it applies to race, culture, gender, mental and physical ability, etc.

My motivation is two-fold: helping the author uniquely craft their message, with clear intention and helping ensure the audience receives that intended message. My superpower is finding the synergy between the intent of the author and the impact on the reader. Creating space for all voices to be heard and represented accurately is one of my passions.
