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.

This was my first book experience This was my first book experience. Everything went smoothly, all questions were answered, everyone was very professional. Very proud and happy with the finished product. I would definitely choose Archway again

I regret using them as my self publishing venture In my opinion after using Archway publishing I have arrived at a dead end. I had some really horrible experiences with their team. They are really expensive with a lot of dead ends. I would never use them again. I am sorry that I fell for all the hype that ensued after my first phone call to them

Good service Archway concierge Faye Lewis was responsive and helpful. I don't think I had to wait more than 24 hours for a response from her. She answered most of my emails the same day I sent mine. The line editing was good and accurate. I'm pleased with the cover they designed and we selected. They provided excellent service and advice for a new author, like me.

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.
