This is my book cover for a memoir centred around living with a stammer.

At the outset I was keen to do a more illustrative picture, but this more design-led image ended up being a better fit. As a self-published book, this was very much a collaborative effort, with the author Paul O'Meara involved at every stage of the design process. I think the ellipsis are a neat solution to representing a stammer visually, hopefully more subtle than using a wincingly obvious image such as a pad-locked mouth.

Anyway, hopefully the image does the content justice. It's not just a book for those with a stammer or speech impediment, it helps raise awareness amongst those unhindered by communication problems, about the various issues that can be encountered in the daily lives of stammerers.

To find out more about the book then explore Paul's website here, or follow his twitter for more updates. You can buy the book, in paper or ebook format, via Amazon.
