What our clients are saying…

“I needed maps for a non-fiction book. I only had a rough sense of what they should look like, but Julie was able to figure out what needed to be shown and produced excellent drafts. She was very responsive to my requested edits, and the final product is everything I’d hoped for.”
Alex Hutchinson

“Julie is a true professional and it was a pleasure to work with her. Our city commissioned her to create an updated version of our city’s street map. …She brought to life the exact vision we had from the onset of the project. I cannot say enough good things about Julie Witmer Custom Map Design. The City of Sharon, Pennsylvania thanks you for the beautiful map that you made for us!”
Nicholas Samson

“We employed Julie’s services for the production of 13 maps for an academic book. From the first consultation via Zoom through all iterations of the process of map development, Julie attended to details with great care and provided excellent suggestions for improvement. I wanted the most professional quality maps I could obtain for the book, and Julie delivered.

If I engage in similar projects in the future and have need for the production of maps, I will use Julie’s services again with great confidence.”
Christopher Smith
Author
“I was extremely fortunate to find Julie Witmer and have her create a map for my forthcoming book “The Struggle to Reshape the Middle East in the 21st Century” (Edinburgh University Press, 2023). Julie designed a beautiful two-page map of the Middle East and North Africa that was expertly designed and included cities and waterways (straits) not commonly found on other maps. Including these was critical for the book’s various chapters and contents.

Julie was a pleasure to work with: professional, patient and extremely knowledgeable. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“The maps that Julie Witmer created for me exceeded my expectations, and the price for her professional talents was most reasonable. If you have been as frustrated as I was, trying to find a cartographer for my special needs, Julie should be your first choice.”

“Julie Witmer Custom Map Design provided exceptional, high-quality design services that greatly enhanced the narrative of my soon to be published book on Georgia history. Julie always responded promptly and professionally to my inquiries and never grew frustrated by numerous requests for edits.
Julie is the absolute BEST!”
Michael Thurmond
Author
“I enjoyed working with Julie. She was prompt, professional, and an obviously skilled cartographer. She transformed my crude concepts into four high-quality black-and-white maps suitable for printing in a hard-cover World War Two history book. She quickly made all necessary revisions as we worked through my project.

Perhaps most noticeably, she added the small details in coverage areas, line formats, fonts, and the like, all of which make the difference between a lackluster map and a professional one.”
Mark Strobel

A great professional and a very helpful person!”

“I contacted Julie after getting a reference from a writer friend whose novel included a number of beautiful maps. I was concerned that my map would help readers understand where my characters were in my novel about the Byzantines. Julie did a fabulous job, meeting with me on Zoom, learning about what I wanted in my map, making the adjustments that I requested, and returning it to me in a timely fashion. The map looks wonderful and I couldn’t be more pleased with it!”

“My editor suggested I add a map to my book because the geographic area would not be familiar to my readers. I needed the map on short notice so I searched online and found Julie. We scheduled a call and got started right away. I can’t believe how easy it was to get the map I needed.”
Christina Lee
Author, Saints of Resistance
“It was this way – my latest novel was badly in need of some maps to help readers follow and understand the odyssey undertaken by my hero, Jack Telford, from Spain to Morocco and then all through Equatorial Africa. They needed to look professional but, at the same time, appear to have been drawn by Telford himself. Tall order! But Julie Witmer’s work produced precisely what I needed.”
David Ebsworth
Author, A Betrayal of Heroes and other books
“It was a great experience working with Julie. She was super responsive to all my emails and requests. And her work is of the highest quality.

If you are thinking about selecting Julie for your cartography needs. Don’t hesitate. Just say yes and enjoy the results! “
Gregory Madonna
Author, The Learjet Diaries
“Julie made the process smooth and fluid. Communication was phenomenal, from the initial phone call to emails back and forth – it was easy. When we’re passionate about what we do it should be easy, and it shows. The importance of communication and punctuality are huge, and it speaks volumes about Julie’s organization and enthusiasm. “
