Book Creation w/ Will

My experience with Will in the creation of my book was exceptional. From the very beginning, Will was there every step of the way, ensuring all my questions were answered and my expectations were managed. He always responded to emails promptly and kept me informed about the next steps. His attention to detail was truly impeccable, consistently offering creative ideas and excellent planning advice.

What impressed me most was how little revision his choices required—whether it was selecting the perfect music for marketing or designing the coloring section. Will is truly top-notch at what he does, and he delivered outstanding results. Without hesitation or doubt, I would work with him again!

An incredible experience

I cannot imagine a better experience than the one that I’ve had with my book. Carter Finds Christmas.

The illustrators captured the heart and the spirit of my book.

I am so grateful for the talent that God has given them and they’re willingness to share it.

I will always be grateful for the care, expertise, talent, and intuition they displayed in illustrating my book.

I have been fortunate to do many things in my life, but this book is my most important professional endeavor, and they have made it precisely what I hoped it would be

In Gratitude,

The Key to Standing Out

I just wanted to let you know the work Deveo does is amazing. I've been selling at many vendors event and everyone tells me how amazing the artwork is, how great my trailer is and because of the quality of it I have had more opportunities and more sales. I'm up to 154 books sold and have a launch party scheduled for the next book for a "Christmas in July" party. Also, on my schedule I have two upcoming readings and one meet the author event, a talk at a conference this weekend and many vendor fairs. Some of these opportunities wouldn't exist if my book wasn't such good quality.

This has been a FANTASTIC experience

This has been a FANTASTIC experience! Everyone we worked with has been professional, knowledgeable, responsive and talented. My husband and I are so pleased with the book we created and the beautiful illustrations to tie the story together. We couldn't have done it without Deveo Studio! I highly recommend them and plan on using them again in the future.

Amazing Experience

5 stars doesn't do Deveo Studio justice. Words alone can't express how grateful I am to this company for making my dream of publishing a children's book a reality.

Self-publishing is a daunting task as a first-time author. Will and his team at Deveo made it unbelievably easy and seamless, handling every part of the process. I was shocked at how beautiful and high-quality the illustrations were for how quickly they were created. All I did was send a couple references and a few sentences describing what I was envisioning—and they absolutely nailed it.

The team was also very responsive and attentive the whole time, and they know how much your book means to you so they work *fast*. They also took care of the convoluted process of formatting, uploading, metadata and distribution of the book itself. Working with them was well worth the investment.

Really great work experience with Deveo Studio

The person who I was in contact with all the time, and was also the one communicating directly with the illustrator in charge, got a good sense right away of what I wanted the final result of the illustration to be.

I have given notes back and forth during the entire process and things went pretty smoothly along the way

Two Projects Completed…

Anna Benczédi has illustrated two books for me. Linus the Troll, and Linus the Troll and the Isle of Huggles. She has managed to capture my vision for both books perfectly! Horace is a delight to work with. He's always very responsive to my emails and questions. Ciprian has also been amazing. Thank you to the entire team for helping me to make my dreams come true!

Could NOT be HAPPIER!

This illustration company did an amazing job! They exceeded my expectations on every part of the design, listened to all of my changes and delivered way before the deadline. I will be using them exclusively on all future children's books!

Very Talented Artists, Able to Match Very Specific Criteria if You Have It

First off, the final product turned out amazing. That is the leading figure for the 5-star review. The artwork is incredible, the specific details I requested have been painstakingly included throughout my book.

One small note is that the communication can get a little out of sorts at times from author -> project manager -> illustration team. Early on, there was a major disconnect on the appearance of one of the two main characters in my book which took a little while to sort out. HOWEVER, in the end, the artwork turned out amazing, and I really could not be happier.

Professional, Timely, Talented - I'm very grateful for Deveo Studio!

As a graphic designer, I was met with a difficult project that needed over 20 different character illustrations for a rebranding of some product labels. The product was not selling compared to its competitors. I needed the illustrations and character design to be fun and engaging, but also relative to the unique product's diverse offerings. I knew there are talented people that could do them, but I didn't know where to look. Deveo Studio stepped up to the challenge. The character illustrations they came up with were perfect and exceeded all expectations. They were able to take my descriptions for each character and make them into a work of art! The product labels are now 1000% more attractive with the new character designs and promotes a positive and engaging message to the consumer. On top of that, Deveo Studio was not only talented, but very professional in the way they communicated and provided final digital files that are quality for print and web applications. They will be my goto source from now on. I couldn't have done anything close to what they provided. I'm forever grateful. Thank you so much!

An Awesome 3 years

I had been trying for several years prior to 2018 online to find an animation company in US or abroad but all were too expensive. Early in 2018, it was decided to have a friend in India search in India where the cost might be more reasonable. Nothing materialized. Then in 2019, it was decided that I search on line only in India for an animation studio.
Deveo Studio in Romania was the first studio in a list that was supposed to be just Indian.
There were two others both in India that vied for the contract. I was unsure about contracting overseas when it was so far away logistically, particularly with Deveo because they weren't Indian, and this was a story set in India.
There were two things that contributed to the final decision to choose Deveo. The first was that their charge was within my budget but the most important thing was the sample drawings from Deveo's artists.
When I viewed their drawings of the boy yogi by three of their artists, I knew that Deveo was the one.

I value my experience of dealing with all of them for the past three years. They followed my directions have always been available to guide and answer questions. I looked forward to hearing from then daily. They became like an extended family
Their creation of Boy Yogi paperback and kindle version are awesome, particularly the colorful illustration, and the book is very well received by the public
Whomever you are, you will thoroughly enjoy working with the talent at Deveo. I highly recommend them

Great Customer Experience, thank you Deveo

I approached Deveo Studio when I saw some of the previous work on their website. I had written a children's book and needed illustrations and guidance on self-publishing. I had been through a number of quotes on different sites but wasn't 100% happy. I was on a budget and Ciprian and I discussed my book in detail and we worked around the budget to produce my book. I was extremely happy with the finished product!

The guys (Ciprian and Horatiu) are a pleasure to deal with and any questions I had were answered quickly and clearly! They were patient and updated me regularly about progress etc. Highly recommend. Thank you Ciprian and Horatiu!

Ultimate Christmas Gift!

I cannot speak more highly of Deveo Studio! I'd reached out in mid-November about having a children's book illustrated for my mom for Christmas. Fast forward two weeks, and I have a completed book! The illustrations are beautiful and are just what I wanted. They matched up perfectly with my "vision." Additionally, there was such a high degree of professionalism throughout the experience. I am extremely pleased with the end product.
