Beyond helpful and marvelous to a beginning author Both The Book Patch software and supporting staff have been most helpful as I bumble my way through the steep learning curve around self publishing. This is a very forgiving site because you can make a mistake, fix it and learn. There is no penalty for being a beginner. I am so grateful for the opportunity to see my works come to life.

Received an agrressive email I received an aggressive email from the owner of this company demanding I share my phone number (all in the subject line). I've joined the WhatsApp group about authors who have been scammed by this company. I wouldn't engage in business with them. Here is the subject line from the email the owner sent me: "I want a call or a number where I could be reached you" (the grammatical error is his).

Returning customers! My wife and I created some childrens books several years ago. Everything was great, until there was some kind of update that made things extremely frustrating for us. I tried finding a comparable POD company for a few months. This added to the frustration. Fast forward about a year later and I was able to have an actual back-and-forth with customer support. The issue we originally had was fixed fairly quickly and also very easily. So, Kristylle, thank you so much for your time and effort!

Bookpatch is a great vehicle for our press! Bookpatch is a great vehicle for our small press, and has made a difference in our ability to bring good work to an audience. Unlike with others, we can look at a small sample of a printed book to make final changes before ordering a lot fo copies. Yes — others give tear sheets, but the actual look and feel is missing. Also, the turnaround is good, and the overhead fees are relatively small.

Couldn't Be Happier! We were compiling our son's poetry and when it came time to actually think about publishing it, in book form, we were overwhelmed. I searched around for online book publishers and found TheBookPatch. Their online setup was pretty straight forward and the few questions I had were answered promptly by their support team (thanks Kathy). When we finally pushed the "publish" button it only took a little over a week to get the finished copies. The books turned out perfect and we were amazed at the quality of the finished product. The other amazing thing was the low cost of each book!
