"Writing a book and handing it over for potentially the whole world to scrutinize is difficult in itself but trying to find a publisher is even more stressful. After being turned down by a few agents and then being asked for an extortionate amount of money from one publisher I decided to go the self-publishing route. A few people I know have gone down this route but one in particular fought his way through Amazon publishing himself and ended up with a finished product he did not like.

Not wishing to make the same mistake I decided to turn to PublishNation and have been highly delighted with the service they provided. Gwen was great with the editing/formatting and put up with my idiosyncrasies. I have now asked David to market 'Deception.' He is keeping me informed at each stage of the marketing and I feel confident that his efforts will reap rewards.

I can honestly say that using PublishNation’s services is a worthwhile, highly economical investment. I am currently writing a second book and will use PublishNation without any hesitation on its completion. Many thanks Gwen and David."

"Thank you for publishing my ebook on Amazon. Great communication, totally stress free. You made my first experience of ebook publishing an enjoyable time. I would highly recommend your services. Thanks again."

"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."
