I choose American Book Publishing and I was not disappointed. I was treated very well by the editors who were very quick and precise in their work.

"I have been writing since 1993. I too was leery of finding a company that wouldn't promote my works. Anyone can publish a novel, but few put the time, effort, and money into advertising. Before I signed with American Book, I traveled the Internet and checked them out. I work for the Department of Justice and ran a check on the company (I was burned once before). I have been totally satisfied with their efforts." —Max Woolsey, Author of Holy War

"As an author who has never published a full length novel, I was unusually pleased with the editing process with American Book Publishing company. Errors, unclear passages and poorly assembled thoughts were kindly and thoroughly reviewed allowing me to make final decisions about the content and expressions in Accommodation. When a misunderstanding in the printing of my book occurred, the staff at ABP went out of their way to help me still meet my original deadlines. The marketing staff worked with me to present my books effectively at a book fair where they arranged a booth for American Book Publishing authors.

One of the most fulfilling aspects about working with American Book Publishing is the time they take to teach novices like me about the publishing process. The staff is generously patient with me when I jumble timelines and expect miracles. I am genuinely looking forward to continuing my relationship with American Book Publishing to finalize and publish my other book drafts."—Nancy Bauman, Author of Accommodation, As Simple As It Gets, and Starlite

You may be aware of my second book, is now being designed by your great staff. A few revisions, as I  write you now.

"The editing of my book, The Butcher, done by American Book Publishing, was excellent. My developmental editor, Catherine Donaldson, was very thoughtful and conscientious in her editing. The cover design of my book, The Butcher, done by Jana of American Book Publishing, was outstanding. The sinister image chosen, combined with the almost entirely black background, created a chilling effect that exceeded my expectations. American Book Publishing provides a valuable alternative outlet to the big time publishers, who might not be receptive to unknown authors." —Peter Ely, Author of The Butcher

It has taught me a lot about the book publishing process. Without them I would not have had the chance to publish my book and present it to the world in such a professional manner.

She also brought certain things to my attention that I would not have otherwise considered. I am very happy with the creative flare of the graphics team and the art work of the book cover.

"As a new author I have agonized over how to surmount the barriers to publication in the world of fiction.  American Book Publishing provides an organization of respected editors, publicists and book designers that have ably assisted me on my writer’s journey.
 
American Book Publishing has provided the tools and incentives to build and implement a successful book and promotion plan. Ultimately, once a book is in print and the promotion plan is endorsed it is the author’s responsibility to execute a successful media campaign, which might just possibly catapult them onto a bestseller list. 
Every book is unique and how the promotion is approached depends on an infinite number of variables.  
 
American Book Publishing has helped provide and motivate me to formulate a path of choices through the pyramid from the bottom to the top – if executed properly should present me the prize I’m looking for."—Stanley Owen Smith, Author of Year of the Tiger

Allan Macpherson was also very helpful and a wonderful resource. We weren’t the easiest authors to deal with, but he always answered our questions very promptly and courteously. So far Jan has been helpful and prompt at responding and we look forward to working with her more in the future. Thank you for this opportunity to do this." —Kate Kinsel & Jennifer Maughan, Authors of Flashback

"One thing stands out in my dealings with American Book Publishing. These good people allow the author to feel that his or her input is crucial even after 'The End' has been applied to his manuscript. The editing process was thorough, intense and yielded a smoother, more focused narrative. Were editorial changes autocratically dictated? Emphatically NO! My editor made suggestions - suggestions that were discussed, modified and mutually acceptable. First and foremost in the editing process was the readability and the integrity of the story. My input was sought in cover design to such an extent that one of my photos was used as the cover art! I am sure this kind of accommodation is never made at other publishers. I do not feel as if I put my book up for adoption with the folks at American Book Publishing, I remained part of its upbringing. How great is that? How priceless to the author's peace of mind?" —Harry G. Pellegrin, Author of Low End

.....................

"The people at American Book have done a more than satisfactory job in bringing my book to life. My most heartfelt thanks are to Lisa Cooper, who, more than anyone else, paid careful attention to the stories, and helped me to draw out some of the most compelling narratives and portraits of the courageous men and women I interviewed.
 
I am grateful for her talents as an Editor as well as her judgments in which portions of the book were more and less beneficial to the final product. I would also like to thank Jana Rade for her attention to the details I specified in regards to the back cover design, and Jan Judd, for her encouragement in my publicity planning."—Poonam Sharma, Author of Chasing Success: Lessons We Can Learn From the Lives of Harvard’s Entrepreneurs

.....................

"In the acknowledgements page of my book, I thank American Book Publishing for believing in my work enough to take a substantial risk to bring it to market. I fail however to thank them for their professionalism and commitment to excellence. My book cover design, for example, blew me away. It far exceeded my expectations. I also address my relationship with my editor, Kelly. I say that she, “turned a sow’s ear into a silk purse”. It is an accurate representation of what happened. Her insight and considerable skills were invaluable to the process. Any success my book enjoys will be as much her doing as mine. She was a wonderful partner. American Book Publishing is a new authors dream come true!" —Doug Macdonald, Author of Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Tumors, & Other Gifts I have Received.
