"My experience with Craig Hutchison in editing was great! Craig has shown a personal interest in this project and has said this will be a great story that can help many people. He was quick with each reply I sent to him and patient as I struggled through this, my first
writing project. Kudos to Craig.

Jana Rade was also meticulous in her work on the
design and offered her thoughts on what I had
presented and what the design department suggested for this book. Each question I asked was addressed quickly and fully."

"Your editing department was just wonderful. They are not only gifted in their abilities to edit and fine tune, they were an outstanding group to just work with. Being a new writer is difficult at best, but I felt more confident when working with this staff. 

Your design department was outstanding. I sent in a graphic (2-dimensional) of The Planet Star itself, but I never had a real handle on what it should look like, but they did. They were really helpful, highly imaginative, and very kind, as was your production department.

Even when I felt like I wanted to panic, they were on top of things, and helped me to keep my head. Your marketing department was also very helpful, and I was able to get a handle on marketing, an area that is very much over my head. I was glad to get Jeff's advice, and I had to say that he was very helpful in helping me to get a plan together. I shall always think of and remember American Book Publishing with gratitude, and a sincere thank you."

"My editor, Michele Harmon, was uniformly upbeat, caring and kind. She always made every effort to be accommodating and always made the project feel very special. She also never lost her sense of humor, something that we both relied on to keep our sanity at times. I will always appreciate her gentleness
and spirit of involvement.

Diane Black, Production Manager, also contributed to the process and hung in there with Michele and I when we needed her. I appreciate her efforts. I was very pleased with my cover. The colors captured the effect that I wished to see and the fade off was a very nice touch. Jana Rade, Director of Design, made every effort to be accommodating."

"I’d like to thank American Book Publishing for their
professionalism in handling my novel.  The company set clear and concise goals with a timeline to direct the process to completion.  There wasn’t a time when I felt unsure about my role, which is a testament of
their communication and commitment to their authors.

Personally I’m grateful to have been assigned a
talented editor who not only enhanced my story, but
also came up with my novel’s interesting title.
Finally, I can’t say enough about the intriguing cover
art that immediately draws attention to my work. Once again, thanks to all at American Book Publishing."

"The operational support and experience I had with American Book was outstanding. The feedback and recommendations from my editor produced a book, which without hesitation is the ‘best it can be”. She offered recommendations on content I had not envisioned when I wrote the original manuscript. I was very pleased with the final product.

As the author, I also had direct input into the cover design. Not only was it consistent with my input, it surpassed my expectations. I thoroughly enjoyed the American Book journey. At Jeff’s request, I previously committed to a rough draft [of the book marketing plan] by the end of July. I have been traveling extensively so I will forward it to him shortly."

"The process has been long but clear from your end, and I appreciate your willingness to work with a novice such as myself.

Thanks for an incredible lesson; I am starting on my second book with a much better understanding of what it takes."

"I have always wanted to write as far back as I could remember. The big problem was being too afraid of rejection when I was ready for taking the next step. Finding American Book Publishing was the thing that put my mind at ease as much as could be. 

They are extremely professional, yet very patient in teaching a first-time writer. The editor I had, S.R. (Name protected to keep her for myself if at all possible), walked through my manuscript one word at a time and helped to transform it into a piece of work I am very proud of. I cannot wait to send them my next ten books."

—Stephanie Tyson, Author of

"Like most fledgling authors, I received my share of rejections...mostly to the tune of "You are very brave to write this controversial story, but it doesn't fit our lists"....yet ABP had the courage to offer me a publishing contract. My manuscript, conceived through visions and dreams supported with scrupulous research, needed to be honed from it's large, ungainly state into a saleable novel. 

Fortunately my assigned editor, MaryBryan Howe, polished the rough stone of my creation into a fine gem. Working together for over a year, we learned each other's rhythm so well to become partners in the well choreographed dance of publishing. MaryBryan provided compassionate critique, helping me trim the excess without unraveling the story. 

Besides blessing the process with her excellent editing expertise, MaryBryan understands me as a writer, encouraging my expression, empowering me to be my best. My preconceived notion of editing was akin to going to the dentist, painful but necessary, yet MaryBryan midwife my "baby" with loving finesse.

In the midst of editing, I began working with design. Jana Rade, director of design, was open to all my suggestions and concerns, taking my vision of Mary Magdalen---the heroine of my story---and creating an amazing cover so sultry and alluring that readers will not be able to resist delving into the passionate tale of the Divine Daughter... I  have learned so much that the second book of the LoveDance trilogy will be much more carefully crafted. Although thoroughly reading the Author's Guide cover to cover and drafting a book promotion plan six months after signing the ABP contract, I have spent every free moment since researching book promotion. After reading every book on publicity I could get my hands on, subscribing to countless PR newsletters, attending weekly teleseminars, I am now in the hands of marketing. I look forward to a fantastic launch and continued support from ABP. The time is ripe for the world to receive my finest creation, LoveDance: Awakening the Divine Daughter."
