Professional book design & production

Hi, I’m Glen Padgham. With over thirty years of experience in book and journal production, I’ve honed the skills needed to bring books to life – combining technical know-how, artistic flair, and a deep understanding of the print process.

At Sandrock Press, I handle everything from manuscript preparation and editing to typography, illustration, and cover design – taking care of every detail to ensure a polished final product.

Let’s work together to create something exceptional.

Sandrock services

Full consultancy for self-publishers

I know how much heart and effort goes into creating a book. It’s more than just a project. That’s why I work hard to make sure the design, artwork, and production reflect your vision and bring your story to life the way it deserves.

I’ll take the time to listen to your needs and preferences and provide professional advice to make your book the best it can be.

For Printers & Publishers

With over three decades of experience in print design, I offer consultancy services to printers and publishers who value expert support and high-quality results.

Whether it’s refining designs, ensuring files are production-ready, or offering guidance on complex projects, I’m here to provide the services you need.

Special Projects

I also provide support for special projects, including brochures, commemorative books, art books, catalogues, event programmes and more.

I’m here to help bring your vision to life, either as a stand-alone consultancy or by providing services in collaboration with other teams and stakeholders.

More about me

I’m a graphic designer with a lot of experience in a wide variety of media. I write compelling copy, dream-up memorable brands, create eye-catching advertising, devise motivational marketing campaigns and build high-performance websites.

However, design for print, and books in particular, is where it all started and where my heart still is. I create book designs that are visually striking, yet highly nuanced and meticulously detailed. My depth of experience ensures every project is strong, refined, and perfectly aligned with its purpose.
