I have now published two works through Rich and his team and hope to continue the relationship in the future. I would recommend Publish Pros to anyone and everyone! Rich & Mary, Thank you for all of the patience, encouragement, & help along the way!Publish Pros are absolutely amazing and a joy to work with! The entire team at Publish Pros are extremely knowledgeable, professional and always considerate of the author's vision. They provided invaluable advice throughout our project and successfully delivered on the publication of my book. Thank you Publish Pros.These folks are wonderful to work with in every facet of preparing a manuscript for publication particularly for me as a first time author. From beginning to end they were right with me, providing "gentle" editing advice as well as technical assistance with the mechanics of publication. I happily give them Five Stars and will certainly work with them again!After searching far and wide for help publishing my novel, I found Publish Pros. They were thorough, responsive, and made excellent suggestions to finalize my book. The cover page design was great and I recommend this team to anyone looking for help navigating the bewildering world of self publishing!Great experience working with publish pros team from start to finish. I am so happy with the final product. I highly recommend. Very straightforward, no shady stuff like I read so much about online with other agencies (which I was worried about). No need to worry with publish pros. Looking forward to the next project.The brilliance, knowledge and great wisdom of Rich Carnahan and his team cannot be measured. They took a total novice and made me understand in clear terms all my options and the best choices for my particular needs - you can't do better than Publish Pros.Publish Pros has been an answer to prayer. A few years back I felt God leading me to write a book. To say I was clueless about how to begin the process would be an understatement. One day I made a call and got Publish Pros by mistake, only it wasn't a mistake. It was the hand of God redirecting me to the right path. I could tell right away that they truly cared about helping me fulfill the call of writing a book. They have been informative, patient, detailed, encouraging and the list could go on. I want to give them a HUGE thank you!!!The Publish Pros team advocates and works exceptionally well with writers to better their craft. They are truly phenomenal to work with.Working with Tiffany, Rich, and the team to publish my children's book, My Mama Is From Love, was an exceptional experience. They were professional, responsive, and truly committed to bringing my vision to life. Their guidance, attention to detail, and dedication made the publishing process smooth and enjoyable. I am especially grateful to Tiffany and Rich for their support throughout the journey. I highly recommend them to any author looking for a knowledgeable and supportive publishing partner.From my first conversations with the team at Publish Pros, I sensed that each of them was highly professional and trustworthy. And, indeed, they did an excellent job with my book. Everyone who has seen it has commented on how beautiful the cover is. A friend of mine, who is herself an author and an academic, told me my book was one of very few in which she found no typos. I appreciate the work of Publish Pros in bringing about that result. Highly recommended.After researching and interviewing more self-publishers than I can count, choosing Publish Pros was clearly the best decision. They’ve been incredible—expertly editing my children’s book written in verse (no small task!), refining my illustrations, and seamlessly setting me up on Amazon KDP and IngramSpark. Their guidance and insight throughout the process were truly first-class. Five stars all the way. Yours will be too. Thank you, PublishPros!I've had the opportunity to work with the Publish Pros team on a number of occasions and have always appreciated their professionalism and knowledge. They’re helpful, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in their clients’ success. Their creativity when creating cover art is national level. This is refreshing to see from a small firm that is able to compete with the largest of publishers. If you're an author in need of publishing guidance or book production support, I highly recommend them!Our book was written during COVID, but we lost momentum when trying to find an illustrator. A friend introduced me to Publish Pros and what a fabulous experience we had with the company. If it weren't for their assistance, our book would still be unpublished. They provided a timeline and helped us complete each task and now we have an Amazon best selling book! Thank you Publish Pros team. I can't say enough about your talent and expertise!Publishing my book The Modern Viking Diet with Publish Pros has been an amazing experience! They are incredibly professional, attentive, and truly go above and beyond. The editing, formatting, and overall production were done beautifully and always delivered on time. I am absolutely in love with my book cover — they created several versions for me and patiently worked with me until it felt perfect. As a first-time author with a LOT of questions, they were so kind, patient, and supportive every step of the way. They made the entire process smooth and enjoyable, and I could not be happier with the final result. I highly recommend Publish Pros to any author looking for a trustworthy and talented publishing partner!I am a first time author. Was referred to Publish Pros by an established writer who uses them. I have to say that everyone in this organization has been helpful beyond belief. They have taken me through the whole process … held my hand. From editing, copy review, formatting, layout, to incredible cover design, they have surpassed expectations. My relationship with them has been personal as well as professional. I can’t recommend them highly enough! As I tackle my next book I want them by my side.Self-publishing a book can be a daunting undertaking for a 77-year old first-timer. So many websites to navigate, rules of the road to master! The pros at Publish Pros guided me every step of the way with patience, smarts and tender loving care ---- from turning my manuscript into a book, to coming up with a great cover, to making sure I was marketing it in a way that gives me my best shot at finding an audience. Thanks, guys -- couldn't have done this without you!The Publish Pros Team was very professional and transparent with any questions concerning my book being published. I would highly recommend them to new authors and authors that have another book in the making.I always dreamed about publishing my book. After looking at all my options I chose to self-publish. I chose Publish Pros over other publishers because they were very personable and were straight forward with the cost, timeline and what steps I needed to take. Once I submitted my manuscript, Mary spent several weeks going through it finding all my mistakes and listing several suggestions that were very helpful. Once the manuscript was set, Rich blew my mind with a cover that went far beyond my expectations. Lastly, the book was posted on Amazon and IngramSpark. There were a couple of problems on Amazon's end in terms of delaying the hard cover copy to be put on the site and having other writers' information where mine should be. Rich continuously checked the site and saw what was happening; he then stayed on top of Amazon until they corrected the problem. He saved me from a giant headache if I had done this myself. All I can tell you is that I have had nothing but a great experience at Publish Pros. I will continue to use them in the future. Thanks again to Rich, Mary and the gang at Publish Pros. Sincerely, Art L.It has been an absolute pleasure to work with the Publish Pro team on my first novel! They have been incredible with helping me get my book published. They made the process easy on me (which I couldn't believe because I was so scared!) I love the book cover (attached) and they were the best editors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Publish Pros for your book!

Lisa J.Marino.I worked with the team to get my first book published. I was new to the industry and didn't have a clue what to do.

Their communication was always fast and detailed, and I always felt supported throughout the entire process. Rich, Tiffany and Mary were amazing, working in their own expertise throughout the process made the project seamless. I'm very thankful to each of them. I must say Rich is as determined and motivated to push through obstacles throughout this process as I was, so that was really nice to have someone working on my team with the same mindset and ultimately be successful breaking down those barriers. They helped bring my immersive world to life through beautiful illustrations, marketing materials, promotional items, and even coordinating my Amazon blitz launch. One of the things I appreciated most was how they acted as a liaison between me and my illustrator, making sure every detail matched the vision I had imagined for Mermaid Elise and her world.

They are a one stop shop for anyone wanting to self-publish.Writers today have several publishing options when it comes to getting their work before the public. Publish Pros is a collaborative hybrid experience for those who wish to stay engaged throughout the decision making process. I cannot recommend this company and the publishing experience I've had highly enough. I wanted to remain in the loop, build a relationship with their team, and put a quality piece of work out there. If that's what you're looking for, Publish Pros is the company you'll want to work with.Publish Pros has been incredible to work with!
