Diana and Her Ghosts Cover by Marguerite Sauvage

"Working with 42 Fold was a dream. I never imagined I'd find such a wonderful group that delivered such beautiful final work.

I'm actually sad that my next book isn't ready yet, because I'm so excited to come back and do it all again!" -Michael Blatherwick (Author)-

All That Holds Between Dust Jacket and Case by Marguerite Sauvage. Merch Design by Grace Desmarais

"42Fold Limited brought my hardcover special edition to life in ways I never imagined.

Professional, prompt, and thoroughly invested in the project, they set the tone from the very first conversation. What impressed me most was how seamlessly they coordinated two illustrators for the covers and merchandise; both artists clearly understood the vision, and the studio worked hard to make that alignment happen.

Throughout the process, they handled communication on all sides with grace, shared progress proactively, and never left me wondering where things stood. That consistency turned the collaboration into a true partnership.

If you're an author looking for a team that will treat your book with the same care you put into writing it, I cannot recommend 42Fold highly enough." -SJ Lee (Author)-

We hope that the author's message of resilience & perseverance will strike a chord with you like it did for us. But we also love JJ for unapologetically writing a female lead who makes mistakes, gets hurt & must learn to dig deep, discovering that she's capable of much more than she thought possible

We chose LITL for this season because it has everything you could want in a summer blockbuster: conflict brewing in the vastness of space, an unforgettable crew, and a protagonist battling overwhelming odds. And yet, she continues to fight.
