When I created SGuerra Design in 2001, publishing was my main focus. I started providing services book layout and also creation of book covers, catalogs and other graphic pieces for marketing campaigns by some of these publishers.
Over time, I diversified services to text review and also websites for companies.
Today, I'm proud to say that I provided book graphic production services for the main book publishers of Brazil.
Some publishers we've worked with over the years
What they say about my work
Over 20 years producing books...
José Luiz Grillo, author of the book Fátima Grillo, Faith every day
I discovered the work of Sidney Guerra and SGuerra Design when editing my first book, “Fátima Grillo – Fé a cada dia”, the biography of my sister.
His work in creating the book was impeccable: the production of the beautiful cover and back cover, the beautiful layout, the careful review of the text, the general graphic care taken with the product.
Talent, creativity and admirable professionalism. Furthermore, the quick and clear support for a beginner's queries, meeting deadlines and overall responsibility gave me the confidence that I had hired the right person.
I liked the work so much that Sidney created a website for my book: www.livrodafatima.com.br, in record time and with a lot of dedication to the project.
Another recommendation is the book “Marketing for Authors”, by Sidney and Laura Bacellar. I discovered the book when preparing the launch of my book at Unibes Cultural in SP. A friend took care of organizing the party. Luckily, she and I studied and followed all the tips in the book for publicizing and organizing a launch, down to its smallest and most unusual details.
The launch party was a success, with more than two hundred copies sold. The beauty of the book, especially the cover, was highly praised by the public. I strongly recommend Sidney Guerra's exceptional work to everyone who has a project and dream of writing and publishing a book.

Eliana G. Alencar, author of the book Conflict as a Human Phenomenon
Meeting Sidney Guerra made all the difference in my decision to venture into producing my first book. Transforming an academic thesis into a work accessible to everyone in the editorial field under his guidance was an extremely easy, positive and pleasurable experience. From our first contact to the completion of the book! Sidney is a welcoming, attentive, patient, competent, creative person and very sensitive to the initially proposed project. Thank you… I am very grateful for everything! Let's go together towards the second work.
Leslie G., author of the books The Princess of Elsseria e Dream about Stars
Hello, my name is Leslie G. and I am a fiction writer. Now I have two books published and on the way: one of them is in the editing process and the other is in development. My books have been published in three languages: Spanish (my original language), English and Portuguese. I would like to talk about my experience with the work of the SGuerra team, responsible for making my books in Portuguese reach the hands of so many readers.
I met Sidney on the internet, when I was looking for an editor for my first book “Soñar con Estrellas”, I saw examples of his work in the areas of editing and design of the cover and which was impressed. The sincerity and speed with which he responded to a multitude of questions later ended up convincing me that it was the ideal path for my project.
For the second book, “The princess of Elsseria”, I decided to also hire translation services with the aim of centralizing everything in a single team and the result was brilliant.
Sidney has a very strong commitment to the quality and punctuality of deliveries, two characteristics that I value very much. In addition, we offer personalized support even after the project is completed.
Furthermore, I have decided that I am super satisfied with the professionalism of my work and I hope to continue counting on him for my next projects. To date, the opinions of my readers have been very positive and I have managed to successfully enter the flow of book sales in Brazil; which, as everyone knows, is quite difficult.
We've never seen each other, I hope we can do it someday, but while we're both working remotely, it's going super well. If you are an independent author like me, I recommend that you test his services, you won't regret it.

Ligia Cerri, author of the book Stories from There and Here
After more than a year looking for ways to publish a book with my stories and chronicles, I was fortunate to discover the SGuerra Design website. I confess that at first I considered it just one of many graphic production service providers, as I had already been disappointed with some pseudo professionals. However, a first contact with Sidney was enough to change my opinion. The attention and care he showed from the beginning captivated me immediately. I received the printed volumes of Histórias de Lá e de Cá and I was thrilled. Sidney's competence, knowledge, creativity and professionalism really cannot be debated. I was already somewhat skeptical of this area, but I can guarantee that it was great to work with SGuerra Design. I thank Sidney and recommend his excellent service.
Roberta Menegaz Gasparotto, author of the book A Thousand Women Fit Me
I just received the order for the books that Sidney Guerra produced for me. I had the happy surprise of finding that my book turned out even better than I imagined. I'm a first-time author and it took me a while to decide to publish my book independently. And, today I know, that was the best choice I made. From my first contact with Sidney, he was super helpful and, throughout the entire process of writing the book, whenever I had any questions, he answered me quickly. My first contact with Sidney was on the first of July and the book arrived, beautiful, in my hands on the fifteenth of August. I think the words tranquility and security best define the experience I had in having my book produced by him. I hope others come and we can repeat the partnership. Thank you for your professionalism and transparency throughout the entire process!
Alexandre Sansone Pacheco, author of the book The person responsible for replacement as a public agent
Perfect, Sidney. Thank you very much for the work. It was really wonderful and everything went smoothly, without any problems. His personality is special, he makes everything flow very well.
Marcelo B. Lepschis, author of the book The Return - April & Actron
I believe that one of the writers' goals is to provide our readers with a pleasant reading experience and a cover that visually connects us with the plot, right? After a long time dedicated to writing, the work as a whole needs to be impeccable! In this sense, I started researching some professionals who would have this mission, including observing the testimonies of those who have already gone through this process, which is how I arrived at SGuerra Design, which with the support of Sidney Guerra and his precious tips from those who have been in the literary field for a long time and knows how to spark the reader's interest, in my case, capturing and transmitting the essence of the medieval context for the book's cover. We reached the expected result for my first fiction book The Regress – April & Actron for young/adult audiences. I thank Sidney Guerra for the tips and support both in digital registration and in the composition and printing of the physical book that made it possible to materialize this dream and we will soon move on to the second book.
Marcelo Figueiredo Gomes, author of the book Under the Charm of the Bullfinch
Submitting a project to write and launch a book to Sidney Guerra's advisors proved to be my best decision. His professionalism in the review, layout, cover preparation and printing processes exceeded all expectations and placed the work: Under the Encanto do Curió, within a high level of quality, worthy only of the best professionals in this country.
Paulo Nhantumbo, author of the book Entrepreneurship)
“My name is Paulo Nhantumbo, a Mozambican author, and I am interested in using the services of this platform as well as self-publishing an e-book. However, I would like to know if these services are extended to non-Brazilian authors and how can I access the same services?” The excerpt above corresponds to the content of the first email I exchanged with Sidney Guerra from “SGuerra Design”. I had learned about the SGuerra Design website through Internet searches. I had been interested in understanding the world of digital publications for some time now. I had already contacted other publishing service providers on the Internet, some of which I did not receive responses from and others simply did not meet my expectations. That's how I started following Sidney Guerra's publications on the SGuerra Design website as well as on the other website Write Your Book, of which Sidney is co-author with Laura Bacellar. I also followed their publications on YouTube, followed their publications on their blogs, read their “10 tips for promoting and selling your book!” and because I enjoyed reading it, I committed to buying and reading the complete work “Marketing for Authors” from which they were inspired. However, I still had some reservations about SGuerra Design. On the one hand, there was the Mozambique–Brazil spatial issue. On the other hand, I questioned whether the Internet was completely trustworthy because in the same way that there are serious people who provide their products and services in an honest manner, there are also professional people who are only here on the Internet to deceive and take advantage of others. But SGuerra Design came into my life at a time when, as an author, I already had some solid work and was emotionally and financially prepared for this challenge. So I decided to take the risk. In my case, I need textual proofreading services, cover creation and creation of the ebook for publication on Amazon. About four months have passed since I exchanged my first email with Sidney. And whoever writes this text is a satisfied customer, in fact much more than a customer because I went knocking on the door of SGuerra Design looking for an editorial services provider and ended up gaining a mentor and a friend. That's why I'm proud to say that SGuerra Design is a serious, fast service that we can trust. A partner we can always count on. Lots of strength Sidney. As I had already mentioned in another private forum, not only will I recommend your services, I also assure you that we will work together again on other projects. Indeed, we currently have less of a need for editorial service providers but more of “revolutionary” editorials, as that is how I see you. A big hug Sidney and see you always.
Vilma Darini, author of the book The Paths of Norma
What a beautiful thing, I'm so moved. My fourth child was born! Thank you Sidney, it was a pleasure doing business with you. My weakness has always been dealing with honest and responsible people. I'm happy and grateful. We will do more business ahead. You were a gift that God indicated through my research on how to deal with my gift.
Marco Fialho, author of the book Irregular Verbs
I am the author of the textbook “Irregular Verbs: The Ultimate Guide”. I needed a very experienced professional who had the necessary skills to layout a textbook, since this type of work involves lists, illustrations, graphs, etc. The work carried out by Sidney Guerra completely met my expectations. Sidney Guerra is a responsible and committed professional, therefore I recommend him to authors who wish to publish books that meet high editorial quality standards. Sidney Guerra was, without a doubt, extremely important in making the publication of my book possible.
Graça Santos, author of the book An indiscreet window
I found Sidney Guerra at the right moment and at the right time. After years of shelved texts, finally, a professional who inspired me with confidence. At the first contact, I was amazed by the service. I asked questions and was immediately answered within minutes, which is rare. I researched his work, his history and references that continued the negotiation and agreement. I was at the launch of her book Marketing for Authors in partnership with Laura Bacellar. It was a wonderful afternoon where they gave a talk and debate on the theme of the book and in a relaxed, happy and at the same time serious way, they won over the audience. Taking care of my writings was fundamental. Objectivity, competence, deadlines and enchantment in dealing with customers. I recommend it to all shelved writers like me. Get out of the drawer and look for SGuerra Design for quality professional guidance.
Simone Argentino, author of the book Teaching manual for the management, interaction, teaching, service and community module at the State University of Pará
I would like to record my satisfaction as a user of the SGuerra Design agency service for the documentation of my book. The website is easy to access and the owner, Sidney Guerra, is very accessible and helpful. I was promptly attended to, the price was fair and the honesty on time was the same. CONGRATULATIONS, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Carlos Alberto Machado, author of the book Federal Police Tactical Force
My desire was to write a book about my professional career and Sidney Guerra helped me make this dream come true. Serious professional, patient, enlightening and knowledgeable about what he does. I had the pleasure of forming this partnership on my first project, without understanding anything about how this literary universe works. He explained everything to me in a practical and simple way. Charging a fair price for your work and delivering it to me ready to print. Thank you for all your collaboration. I recommend it to everyone who, like me, wants an independent production, completely owning their project. Big hug.
Julia Barany - Owner of Barany Editora
I met Sidney Guerra when I was in my last year of college. He is an example that the most important thing is the person, the rest can be learned. In a few months I was already producing books for Editora Mercuryo, where I was managing partner. When he grew too big to fit into a company, I encouraged him to open his own business. Today it provides services to several large Brazilian publishers, continues to grow and is already a giant. Beautiful, reliable and professionally impeccable work.
Lilian Alves - Editora Mundo Christiano
I've known Sidney Guerra for over 13 years, when I started my career in editorial production as his intern. We worked together for almost 4 years and I can guarantee that everything I learned in this area was from him. Always attentive, competent and patient, he shared his knowledge and showed his talent in creativity. He always seeks to innovate and is always ready to face new developments on the market. Over the years, I have followed your successful journey, both in your professional and personal life.
Marcos Cardoso - Editor of Slammin' Magazine
There's no point in having an incredible guitar and pedalboard if the amplifier is half-assed. Nor do legal articles with lame layout. Sidney is a kind of 'Marshall amplifier' for materials. Working with him gives me a lot of peace of mind, I know he's a guy who respects opinions, works on time and speaks the reader's language. I can't see Slammin' without Sidney Guerra in the layout.
Rafael Copetti - Editor at Rafael Copetti Editor
Sidney Guerra has worked for Rafael Copetti Editor since 2015, being the cover artist and layout artist for almost all of our books. An excellent, competent and responsible professional to whom we do not hesitate to trust our books.
Laura Bacellar - Editor - Write your Book
Sidney Guerra is great at visual arts, very quick to understand what needs to be done and very creative. We've already done a lot with books, websites, publishers and courses. An intelligent and good-humored guy who is a pleasure to work with.
Maria Amália Forte Banzato, Founder and director of Espaço Ser e Integrar
The work carried out by Sidney Guerra reveals commitment, seriousness and great competence! I was very satisfied and recommend it!
Deborah Quintal, Owner of Livraria Quintal
Sidney is an excellent professional, very committed to deadlines, the quality of the material and the improvement of his techniques. In addition to understanding complex layout concepts and our editorial madness, he also brings innovative solutions that facilitate internal work. I recommend it with my eyes closed.
Sebastião Pereira da Costa, Author of the book The Hidden History
I handed over the design and creation of the cover of my novel to Sidney Guerra and it was my best decision. The cover came out very professional and was highly praised upon release. A beautiful cover is essential and met the requirements that a well-made cover must present: visually beautiful and an image appropriate to the historical-novel theme. I became a customer.
Erika Rocha, Graphic Designer at UNIVESP
In addition to being a great person to work with, Sidney Guerra always tries to understand the profile of the work to be carried out and has the advantage of doing it quickly and well! I can say that few designers and creatives are like this. He also has great knowledge of the area. I already recommended it and I recommend it again!
