Paddle The Nile
Paddle the Nile: One Woman’s Search for a Life Less Ordinary tells Sarah Davis’s fearless journey—she became the first woman to lead a kayak expedition along the entire Nile, from Rwanda to Egypt.
Collaborating with author The Write Attitude, I designed the cover and internal layout, bringing Sarah’s voice and vision to the pages. It was an absolute honour to work on this collaboration. My work focused on creating a format that mirrored Sarah’s story—balanced yet bold, adventurous yet deeply personal.
Every design choice, from typography to imagery placement, was considered to support her narrative—making the reading experience feel immersive and authentic. The result is a book that feels as compelling as Sarah’s journey itself—a perfect companion for readers seeking adventure, courage, and a reminder that life’s greatest rewards often come from stepping into the unknown.
The Write Attitude | Ross Addison, Author
As an author at The Write Attitude, the feel, look and style of your Josie’s books is a vital piece of the publication's appeal. She is without a doubt one of the easiest and most relaxed designers it's ever been my pleasure to work with. Nothing is ever too much trouble and, even under pressure, she delivers a quality result that always wows our clients!
Josie prides herself on her level of professionalism and I've had many first-time authors who we've worked with comment on how much detail and effort she puts into her concept designs. She is a pleasure to work with and is now, despite also working with other talented designers, my 'go to' person because I can be confident that she will always deliver the result I am after, on time and on budget.
