About

Cricket Works Press

Cricket Works Press began in 2019 when Amy Thurber took on the job of illustrating and designing her husband Frederick’s book, In the Wake of the Willows.

Amy is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, and has spent the past 30 years as a multidisciplinary artist. After graduating she ran a freelance graphic design and illustration business assisting local businesses and farmers in marketing, package design and publications. After many years of collaborating with her husband Fred on his nature columns, she helped him bring his book to life.

She found it to be such a rewarding experience, she began exploring other topics for books that appealed to her. Amy and her son have struggled with chronic medical issues and severe allergies. For the past 5 years, she and her family changed their diet to accommodate their needs. She developed many recipes, and found their dietary path to be so transformative, she felt compelled to share it with others. What DO You Eat? will be coming out in the summer of 2021. In the mean time, you can enjoy previews on the Facebook page, and here on the website and blog.

Cricket Works Graphic Design and Illustration has assisted authors and illustrators with design and consultation services to help them realize their dream of being published.
