Having Glen design my book is one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made. He guided me through the entire design process through uploading to the printer. He is a beautiful, meticulous designer and a fabulous communicator...responds immediately. I can’t imagine a smoother, more satisfying experience.
--Layng Martine (author of Permission to Fly)
After extensively searching for a cover design that would embrace the concept of my book, I was lucky enough to find Glen. He captured a concept that was difficult to convey with beauty and grace. I am grateful. Truly... your cover design makes all the difference between someone picking it up or passing it by on the shelf. Glen can make that difference. Trust him.

Glen was absolutely creative and clever in his role as art director for my book A Tired Man in a Tired Town. I really appreciated his sincere and professional critiques during the finalization of the book. What I valued the most was his warehouse full of knowledge and top level experience in the field. Every author should and must tap that wellspring.
—A.M. Salvatorelli (author of A Tired Man in a Tired Town)
"I invested a lot of time trying to find someone to design the inside of my book. It turned out to be a lot harder than I thought. Glen did a great job, has lots of experience, and turned the design around fast for me. He was easy to work with, and very professional!"
--Eben Pagan (author of Opportunity)
Glen was great to work with from start to finish. Despite a heavy workload, when the time came he gave me and my project his personal attention, and transformed my modest self-publishing effort into a trade-quality product I can be proud of. His years of professional experience and understanding of the industry really show in his work and his good counsel. Throughout the design and proof process he was prompt and responsive. He even offered to assist with uploading the files for me if needed (as it turned out I didn’t), which speaks
to the level of service he delivers. I count myself fortunate to have found Glen for my first book and would certainly use him again
in the future.

Glen is a terrific designer, possessing each of the creative talent, literary perspective, and marketing sense that together produced a book cover and internal design that not only complimented but enhanced my manuscript. He’s also hard working, responsive, and easy to interact with, as well as willing to take the time to explain what matters to the debut author. He’s an A+.

Hudson Valley Books is the pond in the middle of the indie publishing desert. After years of searching for a book cover and interior designer that brings a winner every single time, we found Glen. His work is excellent! He is quick, professional and won't allow a newbie author to sabatoge their own book by making amateur mistakes. He has a keen eye from his many years of making magic for the major publishing houses.
--Julie Schoerke, JKS Communications
“Glen is a star. He spent some time looking over my book, listening to me, and thinking about an appropriate cover design. His first cut was fabulous, and he was amazing to work with on a continuous feedback loop until, Presto! He had produced a Wow (my publicist’s words!). He has a wonderful combination of listening skills and creativity. From that beginning, he produced a wonderful interior design that necessitated little feedback. He’s a master! Buy my book and see for yourself---prepare to be amazed!
--Steven W. Kohlhagen (author of The Point of A Gun)
"Just before the end of 2016 I had to get my two books and a website done, and I also needed an e-book. Glen was able to create my e-book independently and he did a great job."
—John Saverese (Author)
"With over 20 years of experience in print production, I know that when it comes to your own stuff—hire a professional. Glen Edelstein is just that. Experienced and knowledgeable, he also has a good eye. With an eclectic portfolio, he can build to suit. I had a very good experience with him on our first project together. He delivered on time and his fees were reasonable. When I cobble together my next book, I will certainly take it to Glen."
—Phil Persinger (author of Tools of the Trade)
"Glen Edelstein was invaluable in the publishing of my book, his creative book design is like having a magnet for book sales."

OTHER TESTIMONIALS:
"Glen has a deep knowledge base regarding publishing industry. He does a good job of interpreting the client project parameters and design requirements. He has an excellent design sense. I was very pleased with the end product."
"Glen helped us with every aspect of getting our book from a Word document to a beautifully designed book! His cover art and book interior layout were wonderful. He was super responsive and really listened to our ideas and executed them very creatively. "
"We had some bumps along the road, but Glen was always stellar, patient and uber creative. The cover he designed for my book is pure genius. I agree, he has to be the best designer you can find. He was super patient with all the changes to the book itself, and did a really beautiful book for me, inside and out. And he shared his vast publishing experience with me, so I got some coaching out of the deal as well. I'm delighted. And I recommend him whole-heartedly. Four thumbs up. I'm about to hire him for another job myself, so you better hurry up."
"Glen designed a powerful and dramatic cover that conveys the novel's theme in a compelling way while meeting the tactical needs of readability and "grab" at the all-important online thumbnail size."
"Glen is one of the top graphic designers in the book industry and I feel blessed that I found him. He is patient and understanding with clients such as myself who aren't sure what they want. His ideas are brilliant and his years of experience in the industry are obvious. I would definitely hire him again for my next book!!"
"Glen did an excellent job with my cover design. The book was originally going to be self published, however it eventually got picked up by a publisher. Glen was flexible with the changes I made to the project timeline due to the shift from self published to conventionally published book. His work is professional grade and you can tell that he has worked for mainstream publishers as a designer. In my opinion, it is best to go with someone who specializes in book cover design like Glen, because the face of the book is the first impression that readers get. I highly recommend his service."
"Hands down the best designer I have ever worked with. It is a pleasure to work with Glen, his experience and knowledge saved me a great deal time and money. If you are thinking of hiring Glen, don't think just DO IT. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee it."
"Glen is phenomenal to work with. In addition to many years of experience in the publishing industry, Glen's ideas, process, and attention to detail is second to none. More importantly, especially compared to others who offer cover design services, instead of just being an "order taker", Glen proactively provides guidance and honest feedback that helps you through the process. I recommend Glen highly for any book cover design, and hope that I have the chance to work with him again in the future."
