Author testimonials

"I surfed, searched and scoured the net after writing my first book – hopes raised, optimism to the max – knowing that I had finally finished the manuscript and was ready for the world to see it. And then the sharp realisation hit: that the publishing word is a minefield – so many companies ready to pounce and take advantage of your innate desire for your book to be a bestseller.

Then I came across PublishNation – kept it in my favourites tab – read through the website about ten times – thinking there must be a royalty catch somewhere. My finished manuscript kept staring at me, I took a chance, picked up the phone, spoke to David and began the process. Well, four months later ‘Fusion of Evils’ is selling remarkably well.

David and Gwen provided clear, professional advice, black and white guidance and exceptional value for money. I love my book. I’m glad I placed it in their hands for it to be published and for a dream to be a reality. I unreservedly recommend PublishNation. All you have to do is just pick up the phone – there is no hard sales pitch, just a friendly duo wanting to do well by you and your book. Thank you!"

"Having written a book forty-odd years ago, I decided to have a go at getting it published as an activity in my retirement.  I researched various ways of doing this on the internet, including costs and decided self-publishing with PublishNation was the easiest way of doing this, at a​ reasonable cost.

The process proved straightforward with David guiding me effortlessly through it, ensuring I was happy with the finished product.  For this book, I didn't take advantage of the marketing services offered, although the free promotion on Kindle was very worthwhile, enabling family and friends to obtain a copy.

I enjoyed the process of editing and in some cases rewriting sections of the book, bearing in mind I'd last looked at it so long ago.  Therefore,​ I'm writing another as a hobby,​ which I find very satisfying.

The information for authors on the PublishNation website is well ordered, easy to access and helpful. I will definitely use PublishNation again, as it's writing which interests me, not the mechanics of trying to self-publish using the online tools available from Amazon and others.

This time I will use the marketing services in an attempt to stimulate more sales!"

"My experience with PublishNation has been excellent. As this was my first book, I had no knowledge whatsoever in how the publishing process worked. David made the entire project nothing short of seamless.

I found the level of service better than I ever imagined, as nothing at all was too much trouble, any question or concern I had was always met with a friendly, timely and informative response. Any further books I write I will certainly be using them again."

"My experience of self-publishing with PublishNation was smooth and stress-free from start to finish. My emails were answered rapidly by David, who was consistently helpful, professional and unflappable. I particularly recommend the critique and proof reading services - I was glad I used both. It is worth having a professional to look over your work, as you can miss things easily. I was impressed by the high level of attention to detail from the editor.

Costs are very reasonable for the high quality of service and I am pleased with the outcome. Honestly, I can't fault the service all round.  I would use PublishNation again."

"The expression keeping a dog and doing your own barking came to mind when I had finished writing 'Ladbrokes On And Off The Rails'. I knew nothing whatsoever about self-publishing, and very soon realised that it was a silly idea to even contemplate doing it myself.

Google produced a list of many firms which could do what I thought I needed, and for no apparent reason PublishNation seemed to rise to the top of the list. Having contacted David Morrison, I decided that I would look no further. He and Gwen seemed the ideal people to take the book in its existing state and see it through to the end. And so it has turned out. Whichever criteria I set, whether it was experience, cost or results, or even the ability to pick and choose various modules, there was PublishNation at the top. Whatever I needed, they could do, and at a very reasonable charge.

I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone who finds themselves in the same set of circumstances as I did. After all, writers should write and publishers should publish. Or, as we used to say at Ladbrokes, 'horses for courses'."
