Patient and understanding I am 85 years old and a first time book writer. The staff at LifeRich was always patient and understood my limitations. I thanked them in my acknowledgements.

My first venture into writing and… My first venture into writing and publishing was a little rough. Communication regarding the illustrations lacked understanding which I attribute to using illustrators located out of the US. I am happy with the two books that were published, I am not pleased with the cost and the result of the marketing and promotion. The plan is merely a template with your information dropped in and at an expensive price. I found the book fair another costly event. with little to no positive results except to give the books away. There must be some way for LifeRich to promote their published books as other publishing companies do.

For me as a new author the process was… For me as a new author the process was long, drawn out, and impersonal. I prefer to talk with people when I am un certain or need help. This proved to be difficult as the individuals assigned to me in the company rarely answer a phone call, and take time in returning a request to call back. On the other hand, the art work and layout was great, and the finished product was professional and of good quality. I am very pleased with the results.

They held my hand through the entire… They held my hand through the entire process. As a first time author, I felt I had great help starting with the customer assistance associate who answered all my questions in the beginning. I liked the checklist they sent me once we were underway with production. It gave me time frames and what was next. The books came out looking very professional, and I couldn't be more pleased. I am writing a second book now, and will definitely recommend them to other authors as well as hire them for my next printing.

Self-Publishing with LifeRich My experience with LifeRich was very positive. This was my first self-publishing experience and I found their representatives very helpful in guiding me through the process. Things happened when they said they would and the whole process was remarkable quick. There were two things in the process that I felt could be improved: First, it would have been helpful if the ebook formatting and release was ready when the print book became available and second, I thought the supplemental added marketing packages were too pricey for my needs. Perhaps a little more could have been included in the base package. Overall, I was quite pleased. John Broadwell
