"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for the valuable learning experience that my association with your staff has provided.
Editing made suggestions not to impose their imprint upon the book but only as necessary to strengthen my own writing.
The Design Department captured the aura of the book in the first draft cover thus saving for both of us the time required in sending revisions back and
forth.
The prompt responses of the Production Department have been appreciated.
The efforts of Marketing to keep the project on track as well as their advice as to how to maximize sales have been invaluable. I hope to have another book ready for your review in short order."

"My
all-time gratitude to ABP -- a great team who turns dreams into
realities, one book at a time. I especially want to thank Allan Macpherson ...
The cover made from a photograph and turned into "art" is the most
appealing (glad I thought of it...hahaha). Everyone I show it too says that
the cover alone should sell the book."

"American-Book Publisher has been very professional, from the very start.
Even though this has been a new journey for me, I have found it to be an enjoyable one. The content editor has been very effective and at times very thorough to guiding me through the editing
process.
My book would have been twice as long without him, but only half as good.( Thanks David M ).
The design team did an outstanding job in cover design.
As I am now entering into the marketing phase of my book, I do it with the utmost confidence that their service will be just as great.
Thanks again to American Book Publisher for a job well done."

A special thanks to Allen, who took care of my editing concerns personally. The design -(Jana Rade) she did a fine job on the front cover, it came out just perfect.
The staff at marketing has been helpful, providing information and answering any questions. Thanks to Jeffery and Todd for understanding my situation and concerns about the project."

"Being my second book published but first book published by American Book Publishing I already had been through the Publishing process once and could tell a difference in Publishers immediately.
I was tickled pink inside when the editing process finally finished, it seemed my book Retribution was polished with literary brilliance from the inside out.
It was nearly a week later when I heard from the Design department at American Book Publishing with idea's for the front and back cover of Retribution.
After several days of looking over the cover idea's none seemed to make me happy and I asked for more idea's from the Design department.
Without hesitation back to work they went and sent more idea's with the perfect one for my book lying just in front of me now. The Design department gave me just what I wanted and they worked until I was happy with the out come.
I am now starting the marketing phase of the process and look forward to the same great service from them."

"Robyn who was my editor was superb. I felt that she read the manuscript carefully and for this reason she did give me good direction.
Jana Rade in the design department was excellent. Jana injected so much symbolism into the cover design and her work was completed in a timely fashion. She
deserves a raise.
The marketing is a work in progress, but I look forward to a positive experience with American Book."

"Being a novice of the publishing world, ABP guided me through the intertwined
network of submission, editing and helped me enhance the ability to market my
book in as many avenues as possible.
ABP was patient and understanding as well as very helpful with questions I had
with the process of my book. ABP is a professional company and treated me with
respect.
The marketing Dept. of ABP was full of information and talent. They sent me
ideas I had not thought of. John Wik designed the cover of my book and the
results show the talent he truly deserves."

"American Book
Publishing is dear to my heart, a
great job of editing by Jacob Starr. And Jana Rade of the
design department could not have done any better with the
cover.
This is
just what I had envisioned, I told her I would like to see a lot of red and
yellow on the cover and some Civil
war action.
I have even given the
both of them well deserved credit in the
acknowledgements for a job well done. The
production department has been moving right along.
I have completed a sequel to this book
and would like to have ABP publish it as well."

editing, design, production and marketing to date have been thoroughly
professional. Cleary any writer who by chance comes in contact with

The
choice of editors for my subject matter proved right on

"I just want to
drop a note full of respect, praise and admiration for the work that you do. I
received my book today and I'm overwhelmed at the sight of the wonderful
cover, the professionalism, and overall hard work that comprised the end
product. How thankful I am to you all for bringing my dream not only to life,
but making it a tangible gift for me to treasure always.
From the bottom
of my heart, thank you for generating with taste and excellence my first book,
"A Conspiracy to Ponder". I never knew how important it was for me to convey
such a message to you until this morning, when a talk show host by the name of
Ode Aduma said to me, "I see your book on the best-selling list, if you can
get your book out there. It is excellent." And that's all I've heard about the
book to date. James A. Cox, Editor-In-Chief of Midwest Book Review said "...A
Conspiracy to Ponder is a superbly crafted, thoroughly exciting, page-turner
of a mystery." To me, that's "wow!"
Again, thank you and your staff at American Book Publishing for a job well
done."

"I would like to thank everyone at American Book Publishing for the superb
service in publishing my book. The editing department was fantastic. I could
even get help on the weekends. As far as the cover design, I was impressed.
Designing is not my forte so I left it up to them. I think the cover on my
book is amazing. The Authors Guide kept me focused on the light at the end
of the tunnel and was a life saver. Accolades to the creator of that little
piece of work.
"To American Book Publishing: Thank you for
believing in the power of this book to sell and for offering me the
opportunity to publish this effort. Thanks, for working so hard to
get the manuscript accepted. Thanks Rebecca, for finding the right editor...
Thanks, Brett, for helping me make this book the best it could be and to
become a better writer. Your efforts were much appreciated. Thanks to Laurie
and Cheri for your patience in helping with a cover. And thanks Krista and
especially Bonnie for the last minute touchups. I think they helped the book
become even more accessible to the reader. God bless you all."

Book has given me and the way in which they handled the entire process. Many
thanks to all.
Without the untiring efforts of American Book

am working with Jan in promotion now and am anxious to get on

(About
her editor) "I know your work with me is just your job, but it's the
manner in which you do it ,that I, as a first time author, appreciate. For a
lack of a better word you are very "gentle". You must have shaken
your head when you first read through the manuscript. I must admit I did that
myself, but it didn't click-in what I should do about it. Your help and
suggestions have been great.

Optimally, I think feedback from academic reviewers, i.e. college professors,

I'm satisfied with what I have and do hope the
larger academic world appreciates my contribution. I think Jana Rade has
produced a fine cover for the book."

is obvious that the American Book Publishing Marketing
Department knows the ins and outs of the book marketing arena. The
information on book reviewers, promotions and opportunities to publicize
Leadership Skills for Entrepreneurs has been very helpful. What is more
important is the respectful manner in which you communicate with professionals
that you have never met. This is a characteristic of a person with
genuine concern for the needs of authors. I have also enjoyed the

appropriate cover for the book, as well as the careful attention to a quality

Everyone from editing, marketing,

"My experience with American Book has been filled with positive energy and has left me uplifted.
My Editor's input was always positive and never negative. There were times
when I began to feel overwhelmed, but with my Editor's encouragement I was put
at ease. The editing process was very comfortable.
When I was introduced to
the Design staff, I never really had a clear mental picture of the cover. I
started with only a very vague idea and what I wanted the cover to covey. The
Design staff took my valued input and the final product took my breath away."
