About
Upside Creative is a Murwillumbah book design studio run by experienced book designer Greg Jorss. It specialises in book cover design and typesetting across all genres, with a particular strength in non-fiction, poetry and memoirs — the detailed, layout-heavy work that turns a manuscript into a finished, printable book.
The studio's portfolio spans academic, literary and specialised publishing, with clients including international university presses and independent publishers — among them the University of Toronto Press, University of Western Australia Press, Bolinda Audio, Aboriginal Studies Press, Magabala Books and Boydell & Brewer. It's a specialist creative service rather than a walk-in shop, so it's best to make contact by phone or email to discuss a project.
