“Research and a gut feeling, both factors which led to my selecting American Book Publishing to publish my first collection of short stories. If ever I encountered a bump in the process the staff were always quick to respond and always helpful as the inevitable questions arose. My editor, Maryann, was wonderful. Her concise attention to detail caught things which I hadn't considered myself when writing, and I can't possibly speak well enough of her patience and attention throughout the editing process. I came to rely upon, and genuinely trust her judgment and experience. Thank you, MaryAnn!

When it came time for cover design I couldn't have asked for a more flexible group of folks than Jana and her crew. Through my rejection of the first cover, the second was much more relevant to the material and she even made changes based upon my feedback. I find the cover much more appealing and enticing as a result.

Marketing has provided a wealth of information and resources to aid in helping me make my book a success.

Without the combined efforts and attentiveness by the entire American Book Publishing team my journey would assuredly have been far more painful and equally less pleasing. Working in concert with them along the way has been a great experience” – Jeff Nicklaus, Author of The Light, the Dark, and Ember Between

Thank you for placing your faith in me and giving me this chance as an author. I am so filled with gratitude as American Book Publishing made a way possible for me to help hurting people through their own journey with loss, grief, suffering, pain, and affliction. American Book Publishing has made the strenuous journey of getting a book into print worthwhile and personally rewarding. 

The professionals at American Book Publishing continue to be an absolute pleasure to work with. My editor helped me, with patience, to endure the arduous process of editing my book. The work required of the Author and the Publisher to get a book through the publishing process constitutes an intense commitment and investment of time and effort.  I appreciate ABP’s partnering approach to this worthy endeavor. My interactions with Operations, Editing, Design, Production, and Marketing have produced very satisfactory results. American Book Publishing has always made me feel like a person working with other people, not just an impersonal organization or department. As a new author, I have felt valued and respected by the folks at American Book Publishing. The character of my relationship with American Book Publishing continues to develop into one that demonstrates care and professionalism toward me and my works.”—Carol Sauceda, Author of Sometimes God Says “No”

“I have enjoyed working with the staff of American Book Publishing all through the process of working on my book. At the beginning I was really struck with the professional approach taken to first review my book and assess it for suitability for publishing.

When I received the good news that my book had been accepted by American Book Publishing I was really delighted. The editing process was thorough and although it required a lot of work on my part to respond to the editors’ queries, I must say it was enjoyable. I was encouraged by each subsequent version which looked always better than the one before. And many times I thought we had reached the final version but the editor was a perfectionist who kept us working until we got it perfect.

The designer was great and very impressive about the cover picture she suggested. It immediately caught my attention and it had a lot of meaning relating to the book. I have the feeling she read the book and understood it very well before working on the cover design. The marketing department has been superb and remains so. I must say my relationship with the ABP marketing approach started way back when I read the Author’s Guide.” —Muzeyi Kapere Author of Sexual Concepts and Sexual Stores: The African Man's Perspective

“I started out the editing process with Kaitlyn, my editor, giving me some suggestions to re-work my stories. I took all of her suggestions and was happy with how much stronger my messages in the stories were being conveyed to the reader. Kaitlyn also recognized dreams as being the common denominator between all of my stories which was brilliant. I went from having an assortment of ideas, to a main theme and focus and everything else fell into place after that.

I then worked with Jana on the book cover. I liked the cover that was designed for me and felt Jana had taken into account my vision and feel of the book. Similar to my editing experience, the book cover was done with quality the first time around and there was no need for alterations.” —Devan Nychka, Author of Live to Dream

“For new writers I highly want to recommend American Book Publishing. I have made only good experiences with each and everyone of the employees of this company. When I did send my manuscript in I naively believed all an author does is write a book and the rest is up to the publisher. Never had I been so wrong. And even if my patience were tested on this ride of new experiences and discoverings, I always had American Book Publishing to lean on. My experience with my publisher Olivia had taught me more than just how to articulate myself in a more sophisticated way, but also spellbind the readers, I do want to thank her again for her work and for her fast responces to my questions.

As I mentioned everyone of the employees which handle my manuscript and me were a Godsend. I have learned a lot and I am very thankful for this experience and the company I had.” —Conny Conway, Author of Never-ending Dream

“Now it is my pleasure to reflect on my professional relationship with the American Book Publishing process in this publishing of my book: The Shamrock Crown and the Legend of Excalibur.

I cannot begin to express how wonderful my experience with the editing department during this process has been. Stella kept me in the know about the process even though I may have asked her a hundred times about a topic I should have known from the Author's Guide. And my editor for the book itself, Jennifer was outstanding in so many ways. What comes to mind at first was her recognition that this Legendary Tale of mine was of epic proportions and thus would have to be longer than usual, as far as the number of pages in the book went. Then her editing skill came into my understanding quickly as she helped me clarify, reword more succinctly, identify characters more vividly, point out vocabulary issues, underscore how to better create the connections in a particular scene, and generally retool the work so that it would flow smoothly for the reader and reveal its plot in an exciting and interesting manner. Throughout all of the editing process she was professional and friendly so as to make me think that my book was the most important thing in her world. One way she did this was to point out various passages, which she thought really WOW-ED her or would do so for the reader. One final point I'd like to make is that I could always depend on a timely return of the chapters, so much so that I could plan my schedule around its receipt so that I could get right on the issues and return the adjusted chapters to her quickly. Then came the PDF file phase and even in that phase, editing was most helpful even to the point of addressing issues I found in the manuscript such as a double period where one should be and getting it removed.

Jana was terrific in her understanding of what I was hoping to generate in the mind of the reader as they saw the book's cover. Using my son's book cover illustration as the basis for the final rendition she promptly and expertly responded to my interpretations of what I wanted for the cover even to the point of changing the color used to print my name and the color for the back cover. I cannot thank her enough for her help.

Throughout this publishing process Jonathan, and Jeff, of American Book Publishing have been understanding and cooperative as I sometimes jumped the gun in the process in my excitement to get exposure for the book under way. I think everyone understood that they were working with what I would call my work of love created over a period of years. I say years because in the midst of working on the first novel, I submitted my sequel (The Stone Cutter Genius) and that process was and is running simultaneously.” —Arthur Cola, Author of The Shamrock Crown and the Legend of Excalibur
