"As a first-time novelist, I found American Book to be especially helpful. I am very pleased with the editing and design services and look forward to marketing and promotion. I am especially pleased with the consistent, thorough, and professional work of Wanda Morgan, my editor, who not only attended carefully to the manuscript but who also fielded my innumerable questions about the publishing process. Wanda is also proving helpful as promotional activities get underway.

"As a first-time author, it was a daunting task trying to find a publishing company that would take a professional interest in me as an author and in my book. I found American Book Publishing through the Internet and was impressed with the content of their website, the positive comments made by their published authors and their willingness to accept manuscripts from new authors.   

From the beginning, it has been a wonderful journey working with a variety of talented and experienced personnel in the editing, design, production and marketing departments. It was a rewarding experience working with my assigned editor, Tamar Schmidt, who was willing to listen to my ideas and to offer suggestions to help add depth and insight to my novel. I appreciate very much her enthusiasm and encouragement throughout the entire editing process. I look forward to working with her again on my next novel!  

The design department created a wonderful cover for my book which truly exceeded all of my expectations. Thank you to Jana Rade and Tim Jensen!  

All personnel I have been associated with have been very experienced in their fields and have given me the direction and encouragement needed to transform my manuscript into a polished novel that I am very proud of. I particularly enjoyed the regular updates on how my book was progressing. They always kept me informed, showing that they genuinely care about their authors. I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity of publishing my book with ABP. They are a wonderful publishing company and I recommend them most highly to any new author. I look forward to working with this talented team again!"

"I knew I had a good story when I sent it in to American Book, but thanks to their fantastic, author-friendly, personal editing services, I was able to find the exact story I wanted to tell.

My editor was careful to guide me in adjusting any confusions and providing professional advice, but he and American Book went out of their way to ensure that the work was my own throughout the whole process.

Besides that, their design team did a great job of listening to my advice and tailoring a cover that fit my tastes. Even after their first rendition didn't quite capture my vision, they happily reworked it until they gave me something that was even better than I could have imagined."

"The support that I have received from American Book Publishing in marketing my book has been very helpful to say the least.  They have helped me every step of the way by answering all of my questions and by getting back to me in a prompt manner.  Their professionalism has made the marketing of my book an enjoyable experience."

"As a new writer, I found it incredibly difficult for anyone in the industry to even notice me, let alone sample some of my work. It seemed to be a closed shop until I came across ABP. At first I was skeptical, as I didn't want to involve myself in 'vanity publishing', but what I found instead was an opportunity to enter a whole new world - the world of publishing. After the initial excitement I discovered my editor actually wanted me to work - and work hard! Steering me to change my novel from an amateur piece with potential to, dare I say, the genuine article - a book I am not only proud of but one which deserves its place on YOUR bookshelf!

Aside from the editing, ABP heavily involved me in the design, so the cover is just how I wanted it, the final stages of production and now the marketing. I sincerely could not have wished for a better first experience, learning all the way and as long as you are willing to put the effort in, ABP will help and guide you to the finished product. Thank you ABP!!!"

"Although I was a first time, unknown author, American Book Publishing accepted my book for publication. The Author's Guide gave me a detailed explanation of the necessary steps required for publication. Through the expertise of my editor, Linda Casey, my writing was transformed from a simple manuscript to a polished, professionally written book.

The Design Department at American Book came up with a book cover design that, together with the title, can be described in two words; "mutually exclusive".
 

The Production Department worked hand-in-hand with me as I completed various tasks that were required to complete the publishing process.
 

I felt completely validated when American Book Publishing accepted my book for publication and would recommend them to anyone who has written a book."

"Even before my novel is released, I can say the experience working with ABP has been most rewarding. A very professional staff - from the editing, designing, marketing to the print stage - this publisher has done a great job. I particularly like working with Editor Gayla Mills and the promotional tips ABP gives throughout the various stages."

"I have appreciated the professional approach of the ABP staff . They take their work seriously and are good at what they do. I know that my book presented
special and unique challenges because of the size of the manuscript, but every problem was promptly addressed and solved in the best possible way. I especially appreciated the outstanding work of Jana Rade, who designed the cover, of Bonnie S. Darrington, the copy editor, and of Jennifer Blackwell-Yale who did the final production formatting and prepared the manuscript for the printer. 

Their work was done cheerfully and professionally. Jeffrey Townsend, who has been encouraging me in the development of my marketing plan, has given me some great insights into how to give my book visibility and give it every fair chance to succeed.

From time to time I was frustrated that all communication was by e-mail, but in the final analysis, that proved to be in the best interest of all of us. Thank you for what you have done. I look forward to continuing a pleasant and productive relationship."

How Often Would I Have Gathered You

"Being an amateur writer with "Liquid Courage" being my first work, I had no Idea of how to began locating someone to make my life long dream come true. I've always dreamed of writing a fiction novel. I searched the Internet for a company that could take my manuscript and develop it into a completed book. The Internet was filled with web sites of book companies willing to turn my rough draft into a finished book. I contacted many sites for information. I was much impressed when the Director of Operations, of American-book publishing and the literature of how the American-book's staff worked closely with the author.

Harlow Keith was my editor. He worked many days and nights turning my rough draft into a story that the reader could follow. Once he completed the last edit of "Liquid Courage," the flow of the story was great. Harlow went way beyond the call of duty to help me. I'll have to tell you; he had his hands full with my incorrect spelling, grammar, sentence structure, and my patients. Thanks Harlow for your great editing expertise. I also would like to thank Bill Milnazik for the design of my book, Jana Rade, who came up with a great cover, Diane who worked with me in the design area, and kept me updated on the status of my book. Heather has also been helpful. To put all this in prospective, the complete staff was nice, courteous, and very knowledgeable. They were always there to answer my questions--large or small."
