Paul Toolan
Author of the Detective Inspector Zig Batten series
Matt at Candescent Press has been with me on my self-publishing journey right from the start, almost five years ago now, and I can’t praise him highly enough. His knowledge of the industry and skill at formatting are first class, and his professionalism, helpfulness and efficiency have helped to make my publishing experience more enjoyable and far less mystifying than it might otherwise have been!
Rosie Green
Author of the Little Duck Pond Cafe series
Prompt, helpful, and an excellent final product.
M D Eyre
Author of the Burnfield trilogy
Myself and my business partner are not the most adept when it comes to design, so when I found Candescent Press's website offering proper context from our line of work to the imagery displayed I was absolutely delighted. Matt is a joy to work with, professional throughout and a mainstay of our product development efforts at SAM Charter and ITAM Accelerate.

I have worked with Matt over the years and I can testify to his professionalism and dedication to his work. I have published 5 books and I used Matt's services for the final stages of book publishing. Matt goes beyond the call of duty in every project. He is patient and works meticulously to make sure his clients are satisfied with every delivery. From book cover creation to typesetting and uploading to Amazon or any other distributor, Matt is knowledgeable and makes the journey pleasant and easy for authors. I recommend Matt's services because he is the best!

Professional, punctual, painstaking, and personable. Matt is the gold standard in book formatting.
Guy Portman
Author of the Necropolis trilogy
Matt has been a great support to my book publishing. His attention to detail and creativity have been hugely appreciated (especially as I had a very poor experience with another provider before him!) I would wholeheartedly recommend Candescent Press to anyone looking for these kinds of services. I'm looking forward to working with Matt again in the future.
Cheryl Isaacs
Author of Confident Shmonfidence and Adult Dyslexia
Great, imaginative covers, capturing the essence of my novels.
Sean O'Hara
Author of Opening Shot and Curse of the White Tiger
Candescent Press formatted and designed covers for all of my books. My first novel became an Amazon bestseller in its category; readers frequently commented on the allure of its cover. During the process of publishing that first book, I was intimidated by the whole process. Matt demonstrated such patience and reassurance and took me from frightened neophyte to accomplished author. Highly recommended!
Gordon Mott
Author of Lithuanian Lullaby, The Angels of Klaipeda and Tears of Jurate
Candescent Press give great service – always helpful, reliable and with an excellent eye for detail.
Fiona MacDonald
Scottish Review / ICS Books
When I asked Matt at Candescent Press if he was interested in preparing my reference book on Charles Dickens for publication he said, 'This is what I do'. He was right and his formatting, design and advice transformed a messy manuscript into a reference resource that has drawn numerous positive reviews from academics and bookdealers.
