He was quick with each reply I sent to him and patient as I struggled through this, my first writing project. Kudos to Craig. Jana was also meticulous in her work on the design and offered her thoughts on what I had presented and what the design department suggested for this book. Each question I asked was addressed quickly and fully."—Rick Dean, Author of Summer of Anger, Summer of Peace

"Your editing department was just wonderful. They are not only gifted in their abilities to edit and fine tune, they were an outstanding group to just work with. Being a new writer is difficult at best, but I felt more confident when working with this staff. 

Your design department was outstanding. I sent in a graphic (2-dimensional) of The Planet Star itself, but I never had a real handle on what it should look like, but they did. They were really helpful, highly imaginative, and very kind, as was your production department.
Even when I felt like I wanted to panic, they were on top of things, and helped me to keep my head. Your marketing department was also very helpful, and I was able to get a handle on marketing, an area that is very much over my head. I was glad to get Jeff's advice, and I had to say that he was very helpful in helping me to get a plan together. I shall always think of and remember American Book Publishing with gratitude, and a sincere thank you." —C.M. Chakrabarti, Author of The Planet Star: Unfolding Prophecy

"My editor, Michele, was uniformly upbeat, caring and kind. She always made every effort to be accommodating and always made the project feel very special. She also never lost her sense of humor, something that we both relied on to keep our sanity at times. I will always appreciate her gentleness and spirit of involvement. Diane, Production Manager, also contributed to the process and hung in there with Michele and I when we needed her. I appreciate her efforts. I was very pleased with my cover. The colors captured the effect that I wished to see and the fade off was a very nice touch. Jana, Director of Design, made every effort to be accommodating." —Eileen M Portner, Author of Recovery from Panic Disorder

"I’d like to thank American Book Publishing for their professionalism in handling my novel.  The company set clear and concise goals with a timeline to direct the process to completion.  There wasn’t a time when I felt unsure about my role, which is a testament of their communication and commitment to their authors. Personally I’m grateful to have been assigned a talented editor who not only enhanced my story, but also came up with my novel’s interesting title. Finally, I can’t say enough about the intriguing cover art that immediately draws attention to my work. Once again, thanks to all at American Book Publishing."—Michael Berg, Author of Abandoned In The Maze

 "I have always wanted to write as far back as I could remember. The big problem was being too afraid of rejection when I was ready for taking the next step. Finding American Book Publishing was the thing that put my mind at ease as much as could be. 

They are extremely professional, yet very patient in teaching a first-time writer. The editor I had, S.R. (Name protected to keep her for myself if at all possible), walked through my manuscript one word at a time and helped to transform it into a piece of work I am very proud of. I cannot wait to send them my next ten books."—Stephanie Tyson, Author of Gatekeepers: The Dragon Tower

"Like most fledgling authors, I received my share of rejections...mostly to the tune of "You are very brave to write this controversial story, but it doesn't fit our lists"....yet American Book Publishing had the courage to offer me a publishing contract. My manuscript, conceived through visions and dreams supported with scrupulous research, needed to be honed from it's large, ungainly state into a saleable novel. 

Fortunately my assigned editor, MaryBryan, polished the rough stone of my creation into a fine gem. Working together for over a year, we learned each other's rhythm so well to become partners in the well choreographed dance of publishing. MaryBryan provided compassionate critique, helping me trim the excess without unraveling the story. 

Besides blessing the process with her excellent editing expertise, MaryBryan understands me as a writer, encouraging my expression, empowering me to be my best. My preconceived notion of editing was akin to going to the dentist, painful but necessary, yet MaryBryan midwife my "baby" with loving finesse.

In the midst of editing, I began working with design. Jana, director of design, was open to all my suggestions and concerns, taking my vision of Mary Magdalen---the heroine of my story---and creating an amazing cover so sultry and alluring that readers will not be able to resist delving into the passionate tale of the Divine Daughter... I have learned so much that the second book of the LoveDance trilogy will be much more carefully crafted. Although thoroughly reading the Author's Guide cover to cover and drafting a book promotion plan six months after signing the ABP contract, I have spent every free moment since researching book promotion. After reading every book on publicity I could get my hands on, subscribing to countless PR newsletters, attending weekly teleseminars, I am now in the hands of marketing. I look forward to a fantastic launch and continued support from ABP. The time is ripe for the world to receive my finest creation, LoveDance: Awakening the Divine Daughter." —Deborah Maragopoulos, Author of LoveDance: Awakening the Divine Daughter

"Working with American Book Publishing has been real pleasure from start to finish.  My editor was quite easy to work with, very helpful, and unbelievably patient.  Having input in design decisions, especially the cover art, gave me the opportunity to make sure the cover accurately represented my vision for the book.  Likewise, the extensive advice for marketing my book and the ability to shape my own marketing plan gave me control that other publishers rarely give their authors.

"All authors, but especially first time ones, would really enjoy working with American Book Publishing because authors get personal attention throughout the whole process. And at every step, American Book Publishing made sure I was completely satisfied before we proceeded.  Although this takes a bit of time, my satisfaction was guaranteed!"—Terry l. Baker, Author of The Longest Walk

"I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my editor, Gail Snyder.  After working with her for just a few weeks I immediately noted her attention to detail, and felt her suggestions did nothing but make my work stronger.  Gail took extra time to ensure things were the way I wanted them, and stood up for my writing throughout the editing process.  I am a better writer because of her insight and honesty. I hope to work with her again in the future. The design department was fantastic.  The cover they envisioned exceeded my expectations.  They listened to my concerns, and were quick to design a cover that had the shock effect I desired with a color scheme that fit the novel.  I couldn’t have gotten a better cover anywhere else in the world." —Rick Chiantarett, Author of Facade of Shadows

"American Book Publishing has been a happy surprise for me. I wasn't expecting a positive response or even a reply at all when I sent my manuscript through the Internet to it. It was my first experience to get my work published. American Book Publishing's professionals have been guiding me through it. I would like to thank them all:  Nathan, Todd, Jana, Connie, especially my editor Amy. I didn't know that an editor could be so creative, Amy is. She gave me many an original idea in re-organizing my novel. And now I'm going to discover my next step with the marketing correspondent, Jeffrey.

Another thing is now I have full confidence in American Book Publishing since we have been working together on my novel all this time and I feel like knowing American Book Publishing's people even if I never saw them. In the beginning, I had to make myself patient, especially I had to deal with doubt, when I was waiting step by step, wondering if they had forgot my novel and me. Then I realized that they have been working on it all the time. Now I'm trying to write another novel in English. (American Book Publishing has been very patiently tidying up my writing before it gets to readers since I'm native Chinese and live in France, English is my second language.)  It is also a story about foreign women. I'm very interested in this subject because I feel this is a group of human beings who are least defended. I'm looking forward to having a chance to work with American Book Publishing for my next novel." -Fan Jie, Author of Yi's Journey

 "American Book Publishing has been just wonderful, if your a writer and have never been published, you want to submit to them. They gave me a chance to shine and I am grateful. The design department was artistic and quick, letting me put my opinions in and actually letting me help design the kind of cover that was perfect for my book. The editor was one of the nicest persons I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Stella explained everything to me being my first time as a published author. Nothing was left unanswered.
 
The marketing department was quick and had some very creative ideas on marketing. I would recommend American Book Publishing to any and all writers of any genre, any age who has the heart is to write and share."—Annette Johnson, Author of Awakened Dreams

"There aren’t any superlatives adequate to describe my experience with editing. Jim took a good book and made it better, while sharing some insights and teaching me a thing or two in the process. He is an absolutely superb editor. I would seek to have his involvement in anything I write professionally in the future. Design was great! It’s almost as if the design department got inside my head and captured my vision for the cover of my book, even before I had a firm grasp of it myself. The book design could not be better."—Dave Magdiel, Author of Ride Utah!

"I have met the company two years ago when they approached me with a contract for my book Remains of a Cloud. I was exited and thankful to get that offer as it is so difficult to get as a first time author. Thanks to all the departments, each and every one in its own way and with a lot of patience and dedication created the birth of a book I cherish. "—Ruth Cohen, Author of Remains of a Cloud

"Robyn who was my editor was superb. I felt that she read the manuscript carefully and for this reason she did give me good direction.
Jana in the design department was excellent. Jana injected so much symbolism into the cover design and her work was completed in a timely fashion. She deserves a raise.

The marketing is a work in progress, but I look forward to a positive experience with American Book Publishing." —Robert Bowden, Author of Famine

"I was impressed by the creativity of the art department in developing the book front cover, a major hook in generating consumer interest. The book summary was also well written and inspires reader interest in the book. These two key areas were well executed and I am sure will go a long way in getting the potential buyer to pick up the work and have a look see."—Henry Szylwin, Author of The Unifying Theory of Golf

“A copy of Gaea’s Tears arrived in my mailbox yesterday afternoon. What an amazing feeling it was to open the envelope and see and hold my book for the first time! I write to you this morning to tell you that the finished product exceeds all of my expectations. My husband and I both think it looks quite beautiful and expensively-produced. We like the paper, the type font, the size, and the “heft.”  In short, we like everything about it. Alyson’s wonderful cover design, of course, puts it completely over the top. I want you to know that I am extremely grateful for all of the wonderful work that American Book staff has put into Gaea’s Tears -- especially for the editor -- and that I will now do my utmost to help it sell. I can hardly wait to get out there and start autographing those little beauties!”

"My experiences with American Book Publishing have been very rewarding and inspiring. The staff of American Book Publishing is truly unique to their respective fields. Everyone has been very helpful and informative during the entire publishing process. My first contact at American Book Publishing, jumped right in and made me feel at home from the very beginning.
