"Nick is the best book designer in the business. You can't go wrong. He melds creativity and imagination into every client's product while always considering the commercial viablity of the marketplace. He has helped many of my clients achieve a look and feel that maximizes their message and allows them to stand head and shoulders above the competition." - Mark Graham, Owner Mark Graham Communications www.MarkGrahamCommunications.com
I've known and worked with Nick for many years. Our relationship began when he did interior and cover design for my first book, Living the Dream - A Guidebook for Job Seekers and Career Explorers. That book won a First Place EVVY Award in the Spiritual/Inspiration Category and I've always been clear that Nick's contribution was one of the reasons the book did so well. Since then, I have collaborated with Nick on many projects in which I edited and he designed for clients. Both of us have won awards based on that work but more importantly, our clients have won awards for the books we contributed to through our editing and design. Nick is the designer with whom I want to work on projects because of his expertise, personal integrity, communication skills, creativity . . . and because he's a great guy. Of course, it doesn't hurt that I look like a heroine when I recommend him because my clients love working with him and love what he produces. Nick is simply the best." - Melanie Mulhall, Author of EVVY Award winning book, Living The Dream - A Guidebook For Job Seekers And Career Explorers www.thatcopywriter.com

"Nick designed my book cover, and I can say without qualification that he is truly a genius. I first presented my ideas to Nick, and he followed my instructions to the letter. The cover that I envisioned looked really inferior. He gently guided me to a better and more creative solution that turned out to be a home run. People pick up the book because of the cover that Nick designed!" Nick is prompt, receptive, careful, and creative. He knows his business and cares about his clients. I would use him again without hesitation. " - Joan McWilliams, Author of Parenting Plans For Families After Divorce

"In every step of my book process, I listened to my heart and intuition. The minute I met Nick Zelinger, I knew immediately that he was graphic designer I want to design my book cover and layout.
