“YoungJu Kim is a wonderfully brilliant and delightfully unique artist and expert graphic designer,” says author Grant Overstake. “In the long process of creating a brand new cover and interior design for my novel, MAGGIE VAULTS OVER THE MOON, YoungJu devoted herself to the many technical aspects of delivering a brand new book with a stunning new look, cheerfully and professionally handling all obstacles along the way. The results are stunning!”
