Testimonials
Author - When the Bow Breaks
"I was nervous about the entire publishing process, but Linda put me at ease. My greatest takeaway with Linda is she made me feel safe and she cared about my success. Because of Linda's help, my book is available on Amazon. I am getting consistent sales and I recently received my first royalty check!"
Johnette Ruffner-Ceaser
Author - No More The Last To Know
" I was struggling with the book format, how to put the contents together to make a good book. I was thrilled to death when I received my first shipment of books. What a great feeling! Linda was completely involved in the process without overshadowing the writer but bringing out the best in me. Get off the fence! Linda will be your guiding angel to your goal."
Robert Morton
Author - Growing Out Loud
"While writing my book, a realization emerged that despite creating a decent manuscript, I had no idea how to actually get my book published. Rather than struggle with the process, I decided to find a professional who could provide guidance and assistance in final publication of my work. Linda Griffin is a consummate pro. I will always call upon her knowledge and skills to support my work. There may be some as good, but no one better!"
