Publishing through Archway was very expensive Publishing through Archway was very expensive. My book was a children's story in need of illustrations. The illustrations provided by Archway were poorly done, and I only had 2 chances to make corrections. My suggested changes were ignored. The drawings did not meet my expectations.

Archway Publishing came through big time! Archway helped me to publish my first novel, and I couldn't be more pleased. Faye was my concierge, and she was wonderful! She responded to my inquiries quickly; encouraged me to keep going when I began to drag my feet; cheered me on; and made the whole process easy. I purchased the line edit and was satisfied and grateful for the finished product. The cover design team was top shelf. So far, the response to my cover has been overwhelmingly positive. The print-on-demand softcover is of a higher quality than I anticipated. I'm planning on writing a sequel and will definitely choose Archway Publishing again.

Archway Publishing Is Excellent As I begin the process of publishing my 5th novel with Archway Publishing, I feel the need to share my thoughts and experiences. I have been so happy with their services. Archway staff is professional, trustworthy and easy to work with - they have a process in place that ensures the writer's vision is met. I have been so pleased with the quality of my first four books. I feel safe in their hands.

Outstanding support; highly recommend Archway I’m writing this while still in the process (read that—not yet published). Thus far I haven’t run into any of the negative issues described by other reviewers. My calls/emails/questions have been answered immediately and knowledgeably. Yes, there is some up-selling—but you have to look at this as a printing service. In short, you get what you pay for. If you need or want additional help ( Ie, an illustrator to help design a cover), you have to pay for that. I completely self-published a previous book in 2013, and it cost 4k to do so. I’ve spent 5k with Archway for far more help, quality, and support. In terms of the process I give them 5 stars and 2 thumbs up.

Author of MISS Teacher Interrupted First I dealt with Duane Johnson, President of Archway. He congratulated me for being an author. That made me feel very excited! I dealt with so many wonderful Archway employees, Andre Trent, who helped me get my manuscript sent in, Tim Fitch was also very helpful, and always returned my calls and emails quickly. Aaron Hurwitz was very nice, and would be a great marketplace member for me. Hanna Nate was also very helpful for me. The editorial group was excellent, and did a great job, Nolan Estes was also doing a fine job for me. James Bauman was also helpful getting me my books.
