Debbie Gordon has designed the covers for each of my past dozen or so books, and every time her very first concept has managed to capture the essence of a 70,000–125,000‑word manuscript in a single, stop‑and‑pay‑attention moment. In a world where a potential reader makes a decision in a fraction of a second, Debbie knows exactly how to make that moment count.
I’ve been so impressed with her insight and professionalism that I recommended her to my daughter for one of her books, and I’ve passed her name along to many writers I’ve consulted with over the years.
Debbie has a rare sensitivity to what works visually—and instantly—when a book is competing for attention. It also helps that she speaks the language of both authors and printers. She has handled all of my setup, layout, formatting, and direct communication with the printer, freeing me to focus on what I enjoy most: writing and marketing my work.
She brings one more invaluable quality: she is independent and confident enough to tell me when I’m off track or when a design needs more thought. She knows the publishing world from the inside, and she brings that knowledge to every project.
I think you will find Deb to be a great teammate—steady, talented, and fully invested in helping your book succeed.

A friend who has published three books with First Edition Design recommended them to me for publishing my first novel. I’m so glad I contacted them. They are professional, do a great job, and get the job done in a timely manner. I especially love the book cover they designed for me. All in all a wonderful experience and I recommend them highly.

I am a first-time author and didn’t know what I didn’t know. Debi and Justin were amazing to work with, they answered my many questions, and walked me through the process seamlessly. As a business professional myself, I have appreciated the excellent customer service, incredible response times and thorough approach to my project. Looking forward to many sales of the book because of it’s professional look and feel. THANK YOU! -Dave Moravec, Cincinnati, OH.

I was just holding the finished product in my hand. The cover art is amazing! The layout and page balance is good for the youngsters and the 50-and-over crowd. My experience with First Edition Design Publishing has been overwhelmingly positive. Thank you again!

I love the personal help FEDP has given me through the many years. Each new book has it own issues and concerns. Debi and crew have always been there to answer my questions and work with me through the production process. I can’t thank them enough.

I acknowledge receipt of the 5 copies of my book. The delivery went well. The packaging was very well done. The books are in perfect condition. The printing of the cover as of the content is of high quality. Good work!
I will order some new copies in a short while.
