Author testimonials

"Novel finished and dipping my toe into a strange new world, I was very fortunate to find PublishNation online and was impressed by the wealth of detail on their site.  From the very first email, Gwen displayed a professional, informative, and helpful attitude but also a personal touch and enthusiasm for the process that was so very much appreciated.

Being a novelist who seems to do everything the hard way, Gwen was available throughout, responding to my many queries promptly and dealing with any problems that came up with aplomb.  In short, Gwen went above and beyond my expectations.  When we found ourselves at the end of the process, with my labour of love finally out there, I can honestly say I was absolutely thrilled with the service from PublishNation and will not hesitate to recommend them and will most certainly be using them again when the next novel is ready.

To conclude, all I can add is a very big thank you."

"My first venture into self-publishing was a collection of ten short stories (The Apothecary of Joy and Other Stories). Five of these had been published previously in magazines but I wanted them together as a collection. It was a great relief to have all the formatting and copy editing done by PublishNation and I availed myself of their express critique service which I also found very useful.

David was very patient and responded to all my questions and concerns promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend PublishNation to those embarking on self-publishing and wish to have a guiding hand to help them."

"All four of my novels had been traditionally published, along with many short stories in magazines and collections over the years. It had long been my ambition to see some of these stories together in a little collection, but where to begin? Going it alone seemed a daunting task. By no means a techie type, I dreaded the whole business of formatting and uploading work for an e-reader.

Then I stumbled upon PublishNation. Gwen answered my long-winded query letter straight away. Once I’d decided to go ahead, the whole operation simply ran on wheels. Gwen consulted me at every stage of the journey. She responded promptly to all my queries, and her manner was so reassuring and professional throughout she was a pleasure to work with.

Self-publishing can be a bewildering, not to say expensive business. This company offer a fantastic service at an incredibly reasonable cost. I really can’t recommend them highly enough and will certainly use them if I decide to self-publish again."

"I discovered PublishNation when searching on the net for a self publishing service. I found their website to be so well presented and the information so clear that I realised at once I had found the right place to handle the publication of my first novel.

All communication was handled quickly and professionally, and all charges were set out simply, there were no hidden fees put in small print as you so often find. Tracy, who dealt with most of the communications regarding the formatting and printing of the book, was extremely helpful and always double-checked with me before making any changes. When I compare my interaction with Tracy to that experienced by colleagues working with other publishers I realise how lucky I was to find PublishNation.

I was very pleasantly surprised at how quickly the whole process went through and I was delighted with the cover design.

Thank you, PublishNation, for helping me to fulfil one of my ambitions. It has spurred me on to write more books, and to use your services again in the future."

"The quality of service I have received from PublishNation has been superb. From my first inquiry to the published books (paperback and e-book), nothing has been too much trouble. I have had books published before, but the friendly and highly professional service I received from Gwen Morrison at PublishNation has been second to none and I am looking forward to working with her again in the near future.

I do need to add that I am also impressed by PublishNation's  emphasis on the fact that it is my book and they want it to be satisfactory for me, rather than just to get it done, dusted and paid for.

I cannot recommend them highly enough for bringing my book, The Cato Conundrum, to the internet both as an e-book and paperback."
