GBDO NOT USE EXCEL DO NOT USE EXCEL! These people are useless. They mis-formatted the interior of my book in an egregious way such that the two-page spread illustrations were misaligned! Then they wanted to charge me a lot of money for them to fix their own mistake. They also suck at communicating, and most weeks they don't work on your project. They don't even open the file. Most of the 5-star reviews you see were coerced out their clients when their projects were going well, so keep that in mind when making a decision about where to put your money. *Addendum to original review* In Excel's response to me, they said "Upon reviewing your project, we found that all approvals were given for the formatting and layout, including the placement of two-page spread illustrations. However, we understand that sometimes preferences may change after publication..." My preferences never changed. Excel never showed me what that interior would look like in a printed version of the book. Turns out, the interior they created for me misaligned the two-page spreads. I thought I could trust Excel to do their job of formatting the interior of the book (after all, that is why I contracted them in the first place), but I was wrong. Whoops. Then they asked me for $300 to fix their own mistake.

GBGet your book published The publisher has stayed with me throughout the publishing process. Every chapter I send in is put in format and sent back to me for review. Every change I make is then corrected in the format and sent back to me for review. During my reviews, I always find something that I had missed before or want changed and there is never a problem. These guys are the best.

AEMy first book as a memoir for my husband I wrote my first book as a memoir to my husband who passed away from Stage IV Lung Cancer. I have been working with Brandon who has contacted me every week to go over any changes, as well as coordinating the marketing strategies for my website and social media. I have been very happy with the work that Brandon has done on the production of my book, as it made it a very memorable experience for writing my first book!

GBStrange Crazy Sad Stories Why People File Bankruptcy Alister Lucas - Senior Project Manager and Anthony Connors - Project Manager were both instrumental in assisting me in completing writing my book. Both were very helpful in designing a Book Cover and Website for my book as well as promoting it. I will always appreciate both their guidance and advice. Thank You

GBThe truth is not in this company The truth is not in this company. This company does not stand by its word and does not honor its agreements. I made it clear from the very beginning how dissatisfied I was. The poor responses were acknowledged and followed with empty promises ("I will personally see to it....") After a year of problems (passed around to different project managers, different writing teams, poor writing quality, poor communication, etc.) and giving them multiple "second chances to make it right," I requested the refund guaranteed in their contract last fall. The company representatives would go silent and after a couple of months of pestering on my part, they would schedule a call to discuss the logistics of a "settlement" document. Then, the call would be canceled. The last call I received, during which I was assured that the matter would be resolved right after the first of the year, was in December. It of course was not. I could go on, and I am not the type to flame anyone, but after about two years, my patience is at an end. (If you look at the other unsatisfied reviews, this appears to be a pattern.) Their money back guarantee appears to be a sales ploy that they have no intent to honor, short of a lawsuit forcing them to do.
