Larry, junior editor and layout artist, has an MA in English and has been in layout and design since 1989 and has been writing and editing professioally since 1996.

Tyler and Larry met in 1993, when they shared an office at Northern Michigan University as teaching assistants in the English Department while earning their master’s degrees. Their longtime friendship ensures that they work well together.

After Tyler published his first book, he hired Larry to design his website, and later, Larry began doing the layout for all of Tyler’s books. In 2008, when Tyler began helping authors as an editor, he enlisted Larry to design and layout clients' books - and Superior Book Productions was born.
