"The team at ABP is extremely hardworking and highly competent. Quality is a top priority for the people at ABP. There are few mainstream publishing houses that can compete with that level of efficiency.

My editor, Katie Parker, was wholeheartedly committed to the process of improving The War That Never Was. She pushed me to produce the best final work possible.

Wendy Mair has been working diligently to promote The
War That Never Was. She is highly motivated to give it the best possible opportunity to succeed in the competitive book-selling marketplace.

In addition to her excellent work on the my website, Jana Rade produced an outstanding book cover for The War That Never Was. ABP understands how vital it is to have a book cover that makes a statement and stands out from the crowd.

I strongly urge any prospective authors to consider ABP first when they submit their manuscript. You will not be disappointed!"

"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."

"I have enjoyed working with the ABP staff, the editing department helped me refine the manuscript into an exciting story. 

 

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."


Ronald J Nussbeck Author of Retribution

"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."

"I have reported to Victoria that I have been, up until now, nothing but impressed with the caliber of people you have assigned to me. I am pleased with my relationship with ABP. One reason I signed with you was because you didn't ask for money up front. I am so pleased that you think the booklet looks good - and will being looking for it. Thank you for your response and assistance. I appreciate it very much."

"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."

"The services, guidance, expertise and patience of the American Book Publishing house from editing, design, production and marketing to date have been thoroughly professional.  Cleary any writer who by chance comes in contact with this organization should consider him or herself extremely fortunate to have a team effort standing behind the writer's goal of conveying the meaning of his thoughts.

The choice of editors for my subject matter proved right on from an educational and emotional level.  Her efforts to understand and relate to my thoughts and guide in the sometimes difficult task of word selection has made my work one that readers will hopefully be touched by and relate to for years to come."

"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. 

 

I am in the process of laying out my marketing plan and everything seems to be going fine."

"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."

"The entire staff of American Book Publishing has been more than helpful. Jenny Dixon, my editor, did a marvelous job converting words into a book and I will always be grateful. My thanks to Allan Macpherson, who oversees the entire editing department, for his patience.

 

All in all I have been very satisfied with the help American 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 Publishing to  educate me in the ways of publishing, this could not have happened. They have had a willing student, but a difficult job. I am working with Jan in promotion now and am anxious to get on with the promotion."

"Thanks for the book cover image.  We like it a lot.  It is strong and conveys the power that our book will give the readers.  We like the title in black and the red trim on the edge. Please thank the designers for considering our ideas and for improving upon them. We were glad to see they included the mayor's testimonial on the front cover.  That should help sales. Thanks again."

"A big thanks goes to everyone at American Book Publishing who was willing to take a chance on an unpublished author with the crazy idea of publishing her Journal! Especially I would like to thank my editor, Jennifer Dixon, who took my amateurish efforts and magically transformed them into this book. Also, thanks to my copyeditor, Bonnie Darrington, and everybody else who worked on my manuscript in one way or another. You guys are awesome!"

(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. 

"John Wik did a great job on the cover of I Am the Codyman. I have received numerous compliments about the cover. Having just started out on the road of publicity for my book, I am pleased with the support I am receiving from the PR department and especially Terri Hayes"

"I appreciated and enjoyed Allan MacPherson's editing and the sound copy editing that was done by Krista Smith.  Optimally, I think feedback from academic reviewers, i.e. college professors, would help in preparing the book for publication. In the case my current book, 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."

"It 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 support provided by the artist who developed several choices for an appropriate cover for the book, as well as the careful attention to a quality output provided in printing."

"ABP put me in contact with extreme professionals that added to the excitement of publishing my book. My editor tolerated me greatly and I can't express how much I appreciate her. Sarah taught me so much. The designer took my advice and made it look so easy, I'm not sure I had much to do with it, but I'm more than satisfied. Production and marketing has been working wonderfully and I have no complaints because they're working on this faster than I can. Thanks for everything and I'd love to publish again with ABP soon."

"It has been a great pleasure working with everyone at American Book Publishing.  Everyone has been so considerate and helpful in getting my book through all the stages to the finished product.  I would like to thank my editor, Angela Hayes, for doing such a fantastic job helping get all the corrections completed and making my book more presentable to my readers.  I would also like to thank Jana Rade for the beautiful cover—another job well done.

Everyone from editing, marketing, promotions, and design has done such a great job and has truly been a joy to work with.  Every author should be so lucky to find such a great group of people to help get their book out to the reading public.  Thanks to you all for getting me there. "

"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."

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for all of your hard work. Also I wanted to give kudos to Ms. Dixon for her editing skills. I am real excited about the book release for next year. I hope all is well with you and hope your health is improving. P.S. I have a new book idea in mind and began to write it. Do I need to submit the proposal or a completed text? Let me know at your earliest convenience, I will not start the next venture until this is finished, however your people helped me to realize my dreams and overcome my fears of doing this again. Thanks for everything again."
