Testimonial from Julia Carlson

Working with Gloria Mindock from Cloudkeeper Press was a great experience. First, Mindock is an excellent editor and able to throw out the trash in your manuscript, e.g., she has a discerning eye. Second, Mindock knows her business – from choice of typeface and ink to paper and cover stock, she knows what works and what looks best.
Third, a highly capable designer, William J. Kelle, who is accessible, savvy about the publishing process, and can keep to a schedule, assists her. And fourth, the price is right. What more can I say? I would send anyone into Ms. Mindock’s formidable publishing clutches!

Testimonial from Barbara Thomas

Seduced by Sighs of Trees is my first collection of poems and I treasure this chapbook. I thought that the publishing process would be difficult, but I found the whole experience satisfying. Working with Gloria Mindock was a learning experience besides being enjoyable. She is a crackerjack publisher and editor. Gloria was helpful to me every step of the way from arranging the table of contents, choosing the right ink and print, finding the right cover picture, and publishing the finished product. Gloria is always helpful and professional. She cares about quality as well as the poets needs and aspirations. Make no mistake about it. You are in good hands.
