"American Book Publishing offers would-be authors unparalleled support in editing, design, production and marketing.  From initial contact through to approved copy, the staff at American Book took the time and made the effort to insure my material turned into a quality read.  Many thanks!" —Patrick Pillsbury, Author of A Sea Less Traveled: in Pursuit of Orcinus Orca

"I have great respect for the American Book Publsihing editors of my book, primary editor Norlan and copy editor Seamane. They were very thorough and diligent. What made their work especially valuable is that they often went above and beyond the call of duty and made excellent suggestions for improving both the content and the effectiveness of the ideas being expressed. They became, in a sense, more than editors--they became partners in getting the important message being expressed in the book into the hands of the readers. The design of the book was accomplished surprisingly quickly, and based upon their considerable experience in designing books, I believe they have produced a cover which will be a great help in selling the book." —Bob C. Cleckler, Author of Lets End Our Literacy Crisis

“It has been a pleasure working with American Book Publishing so far.  My interaction with your editing team, designer and production team has exceeded my expectations.  I worked with two editors (Bethany & Stella) and their guidance has been of tremendous value in improving the quality of my book.  The cover design by Jana, the designer, exceeded my expectations.  Jenny, in production, was very prompt in her responses and we could complete the final edits in a very short time. I have filled and sent the questionnaire that was sent to me by PR team.  I will be responding to them within next 10 days.  
Overall, my experience with American Book Publishing team has exceeded my expectations and I thank them for their support at each step.” —Rajeev Nanda Author of Conversations

“This has been an awesome educational journey in writing, editing, patience and book marketing that is unbelievable. It has been a fantastic journey yet I realize the real journey is just beginning. I am happy to have my book published and represented by American Book Publishing because of the professional and sincere manner in which this entire project was handled from the beginning. I am extremely impressed with the design department and their ability to capture the essence of the book in picture form. Everyone that has looked at the cover remarks about its design.  

Editing was a long and arduous task only because of the attention to detail and the desire to make the book an easy and enjoyable read.  I enjoyed working with my editor very much. She encouraged me all along the way and helped me see the deeper value of this book by her questions and suggestions. Anybody could have quickly edited it for punctuation and sentence structure but the editing department went much deeper than that which I know helped me create a wonderful product that I am very proud of; one that will be around for a very long time.  

Thank you for taking me, an unknown author, and allowing me to fulfill God's call on my life. 

I look forward to working with you for many years to come. I have several other book projects that will need you attention.” —L.F. Low, Author of Genuine Christianity

“I am very impressed by the heart and professionalism behind your operation. My chief objective was to have a book that could make available to the great population of golfers ideas and theories about golf long time forgotten. I think it is vitally important that new authors find the right editor, who would encapsulate the main idea of the book among volumes of information and produce a quality product. American Book Publishing allowed me to preserve the Walter Hagen’s theory of the game and introduce it in modern language. You were cordial, professional and you really care for the author.” —Claudia Mazzucco author of Being Hagen:The Golfer's Search for a Theory of Golf

"It has been a long journey, this writing of my first novel, Jedediah, and a Tale of Revenge. I actually wrote the draft of the book almost ten years ago and submitted it to a host of prominent publishers. In answer I received thirty seven reject letters, most because I was an unpublished author. About two years ago, I was directed to American Book Publishing by a friend, and they expressed interest in the type book that I had written. At their request I sent them a copy of the manuscript and here came the contract. They treated me with respect and genuine interest from the beginning. It was a new experience for me, my journey into the world of published authors. I am convinced that I would not be in this select group of creative people today had I not met American Book Publishing. Thank you, dear people.

From the beginning I was encouraged by the director of operations and he paired me with Ms. Catherine Donaldson as my editor. This fine lady led me through the process of internet editing and it became a partnership. She corrected my grammar, and questioned my story from time to time, encouraging me to rewrite portions and add new explanatory sections. 
 
Her interest, I felt was genuine, and she made me feel that American Book Publishing wanted to produce my novel. She encouraged and let me argue my case about sections of the manuscript, and I feel that we have put together a darn good story. If I write again, I want Catherine to be my editor.

I deeply appreciate the help given by Jeffrey, again and again, encouraging and explaining the marketing process. 
 
Jana did a magnificent job on the cover, letting me have all the input I could possibly ask for. Jana pulled it all together, far more than meeting my expectations. I appreciate the marketing summary on the back cover by Don Koenig who went out of his way to write a sparkling comment on my novel.

May I say finally, Thank you, everyone at American Book Publishing for making Jedediah, and a Tale of Revenge a reality. God bless you. I shall come again to your doors with a sequel as soon as it is finished." —John Herrington Author of Jedediah, and a Tale of Revenge

"It was a seamless process from the first draft to the printer with this team of experts! They maintained close contact while steering me through each phase of the project, and the turnaround time was amazingly fast. Editorial re-writes managed to transform even the most boring and obscure passages with clarity and captivating style.  Design work for the layout of the text was just as I had imagined, but the book cover exceeded all my expectations. They’ve raised the bar well above their competitors in terms of credibility and quality." —A. Lang Author of Little Book of Baseball

"It has been a pleasure working with the staff at American Book Publishers. I will always appreciate their services to me a new author. After submitting my manuscript to publishing houses for almost two years with numerous rejections, to have someone accept the work was a moment I will never forget.

"As a first-time author, it was a daunting task trying to find a publishing company that would take a professional interest in me as an author and in my book. I found American Book Publishing through the Internet and was impressed with the content of their website, the positive comments made by their published authors and their willingness to accept manuscripts from new authors.

From the beginning, it has been a wonderful journey working with a variety of talented and experienced personnel in the editing, design, production and marketing departments. It was a rewarding experience working with my assigned editor, Tamar, who was willing to listen to my ideas and to offer suggestions to help add depth and insight to my novel. I appreciate very much her enthusiasm and encouragement throughout the entire editing process. I look forward to working with her again on my next novel!  

The design department created a wonderful cover for my book which truly exceeded all of my expectations. Thank you to Jana and Tim!  

All personnel I have been associated with have been very experienced in their fields and have given me the direction and encouragement needed to transform my manuscript into a polished novel that I am very proud of. I particularly enjoyed the regular updates on how my book was progressing. They always kept me informed, showing that they genuinely care about their authors. I feel very privileged to have been given the opportunity of publishing my book with ABP. They are a wonderful publishing company and I recommend them most highly to any new author. I look forward to working with this talented team again!" —Helen Bailie, Author of The Azura Stones

"I knew I had a good story when I sent it in to American Book Publishing, but thanks to their fantastic, author-friendly, personal editing services, I was able to find the exact story I wanted to tell.
 
My editor was careful to guide me in adjusting any confusions and providing professional advice, but he and American Book went out of their way to ensure that the work was my own throughout the whole process.
 
Besides that, their design team did a great job of listening to my advice and tailoring a cover that fit my tastes. Even after their first rendition didn't quite capture my vision, they happily reworked it until they gave me something that was even better than I could have imagined."—Marty Reeder Author of The Evil Harbormaster

The professionalism and intimate candor that American Book provides its authors is uncommon in a world where intimacy is often a foreign word.

"As a new writer, I found it incredibly difficult for anyone in the industry to even notice me, let alone sample some of my work. It seemed to be a closed shop until I came across American Book Publishing. At first I was skeptical, as I didn't want to involve myself in 'vanity publishing', but what I found instead was an opportunity to enter a whole new world - the world of publishing. After the initial excitement I discovered my editor actually wanted me to work - and work hard! Steering me to change my novel from an amateur piece with potential to, dare I say, the genuine article - a book I am not only proud of but one which deserves its place on YOUR bookshelf! Aside from the editing, American Book Publishing heavily involved me in the design, so the cover is just how I wanted it, the final stages of production and now the marketing. I sincerely could not have wished for a better first experience, learning all the way and as long as you are willing to put the effort in, American Book Publishing will help and guide you to the finished product. Thank you American Book Publishing!!!" —Kirby Koopman Author of Dead In Time

"Working with the American Book Publishing has been a tremendous pleasure. Their experience and creativity in dealing with the complicated book market has been invaluable.
 
Their work in editing and designing my book has been fantastic, especially the professional cover design. Though they have very clear ideas about how to create books, they are very responsive to author's wishes and ideas. This is not a cookie cutter operation. Without their direction and encouragement, I would have gotten nowhere with this project. With their contribution, I've turned my manuscript into a book that I'm really proud of. I would definitely publish with them again." —Travis Muir Author of Thomasovitch

"Although I was a first time, unknown author, American Book Publishing accepted my book for publication. The Author's Guide gave me a detailed explanation of the necessary steps required for publication. Through the expertise of my editor, Linda, my writing was transformed from a simple manuscript to a polished, professionally written book.
 
The Design Department at American Book Publishing came up with a book cover design that, together with the title, can be described in two words; "mutually exclusive". The Production Department worked hand-in-hand with me as I completed various tasks that were required to complete the publishing process. I felt completely validated when American Book Publishing accepted my book for publication and would recommend them to anyone who has written a book." —Dan Weiland Author of What on Earth Are We Doing?

"As a new author, I was naturally concerned about the relationship that I would build with my editor. Would he or she be able to relate to my work and respect the way in which I had created the plot and characters of my novel? As I began working with Darcel, I soon realized that my worries were unfounded. I am glad to have had the chance to work with Darcel. She did an absolutely magnificent job of editing my manuscript. Her comments were very helpful and insightful. Once implemented, they made my novel significantly more fluent and readable. I was pleased to find that Darcel understood my work, my own ideas, and my comments. She is truly a professional and a pleasure to work with. In the future, I would welcome the opportunity to work with her again."
