Their staff (you know who you are) are so patient and talented that you will never need anyone else to publish your book!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.

I felt comfortable enough to bounce a few of my ideas off of them for future books and they really cheered me on, showing genuine care and enthusiasm for my vision and upcoming projects.

With Mary’s help, "Marble the Hermit Crab" will be a terrific book, launched in 2025. Mary was very responsive, and she answered all my many questions. Mary showed me that it wasn't just another project for her to complete. She really cares about the outcome. I will definitely work with her again on my next project.Working with Publish Pros is a breeze! Rich is endlessly creative and enthusiastic, which makes problem solving design and web issues feel so much easier.

They gave excellent feedback that helped me hone and shape the manuscript. The editing was professional and the design work for the layout and cover was top notch. I immediately had more experienced authors say, "Who did your book? It looks great!" Publish Pros also helped me navigate every step of the production process when the book went to print. They also provided tips on marketing the book. The book is finished and on the market, but Publish Pros continues to check in, provide industry tips, and generally encourage me in my writing career.Writers today have several publishing options when it comes to getting their work before the public.

We just finished republishing my first book and I will certainly be using them for my next books moving forward! Their communication throughout the process is hands down the best I have experienced.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.Teaming up with Publish Pros was the best decision I made in my book-writing journey. The entire Publish Pros team was with me at every step, ensuring a stress-free experience. My dream of becoming an author came true with their help - 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.

I happily give them Five Stars and will certainly work with them again!I love working with Rich and Mary. They were so helpful along the entire process. They took my passion project to reality!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.I recently worked with Publish Pros to publish my first book (journal), and I am happy with the experience. As a first-time writer, I was naturally nervous and unsure about what the process would entail. However, the team at Publish Pros was easy to work with, quick to respond, and great listeners. They made me feel more relaxed by clearly explaining each step and offering support throughout the journey. I highly recommend Publish Pros to both new and seasoned authors looking for a reliable and professional team to bring their stories to life!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.Publish Pros has been incredible to work with! From the very beginning I felt the love of the team behind the name. Mary Hall ensured I understood each step of the publishing process and answered more than 100 emails over the course of 5 months! Publish Pros found both my editor and illustrator for me, playing middle man on communication, ensuring a productive project timeline and safe environment. Rich and Mary helped me set up my accounts, video chatting with me through the process to ensure everything was done correctly and that I felt at ease. I want to take this opportunity to thank the amazing team at Publish Pros for making my dream of becoming an author come true! If you are looking for a team of professionals you can TRUST, give Publish Pros a call today! I would not trust any other publishing service but them. They are the REAL DEAL!!For the team at PublishPros, you actually deserve a ten star rating for your patience guidance and most importantly your expertise in helping new authors like me become Published Authors!

I know that there must be many amazing people working behind the scenes at PublishPros but I can not end this without a heartfelt thank you to Rich Carnahan and Mary Hall. ❤️ No matter what my question, no matter what day of the week, or hour within that day I always received a quick response.
