    The team at Tellwell really made it possible for me as a first-time author to publish my book. Thank you to everyone that I worked with directly. Without a doubt I would recommend Tellwell to anyone.

    Tellwell is the author's best friend. They have an excellent team of professional and helpful specialists, complemented by a systematic approach guiding the author step-by-step in the challenging journey of publishing a book.

    I just wanted to say thank you to Tellwell for making my dream come true. After finished the first draft of my book, my concern was about where to get the editor and publisher. As there was one to turn to, I decided to turn to google. I had to search the web for whether or not if I can find a reliable and trustworthy publisher. The choices were too much, but I have to choose Tellwell after reading their policy. My concern was that Tellwell has been publishing "Novel, Fictions", thus they might not have interests on non-fiction narratives. But I was wrong! Tellwell has produced the best book of my expectation in it three categories: Paperback, Hardcover, and eBook. My experience with Tellwell exceeded my expectations, and I'm so excited to see my book came to life, and in the market for readers [on 25 November 2024].

    I have been publishing with Tellwell since 2018, and my fifth book came out in November 2024. So, the proof is in the pudding. My publishing experience has been seamless and easy, professional and inclusive. My first book** ******* *** ******** was written in complete secrecy due to low self-esteem. Afterwards, my confidence soared when I was encouraged by Tellwell to enter contests, and I won an award *** *** ******** ** ******* *******. I went on to write my second book, ****** ** ** ***** ****** * * ******* ** ** ********* to win another award ** *** ** ** **** ** ***** *** ****** ****** * *** **** **** ********* ** ********** ***** ******** *** **** **** *********** ** *** ***** *** *** ****** *****. I have no regrets about publishing with Tellwell and only praise!

    The Tellwell team made the daunting task of publishing a book a reasonably pleasant experience. All deliverables on the project were completed early or on time. Correspondence and phone calls were always polite and prompt. Price and deliverables were comparable or better compared to other self-publishers.
    Quality control was lacking. Some changes I sent during the revision rounds were missed or not done correctly. I sensed that nobody at Tellwell was checking the work that was done. An incorrect word got through to the online listings and has never been corrected. I paid extra for this change and was assured it would be done. Marketing was good but my book has never been shown on the Tellwell website as either a new release or in print.

    If you are like me, and want the best for your story, then Tellwell is your best bet. I was not willing to put myself through the rollercoaster of traditional publishing. I also didn't want to give up my control or most of my royalties to them. So, I decided I would try self-publishing and went in search of how to do that that was easy and affordable. My search led to Tellwell and after reading the testimonials and watching the videos, I felt comfortable reaching out. The next day they contacted me and provided me with everything I could want to make a informed decision. They didn't hide anything; everything was very straightforward and easy to understand. All my options where given and they provided someone to walk me through it. They didn't try to up sale me just made recommendations that fit my situation. The experience itself was painless, the OCTAVO system is an amazing tool that made communication between my editor, book layout designer and cover designer so painless! So, if you want to share your story, let Tellwell help you.

    My experience with Tellwell has been excellent. The entire process from beginning to end was professional and prompt. I was apprehensive at first, being a first-time author, but the personal treatment and suggestions during editing, as well as their support through the entire process, greatly exceeded my expectations. I am extremely pleased with the final results, and my gratitude to the entire team is beyond words.
    I cannot begin to describe the quality of service I received from Tellwell during the editing process. As my manuscript was somewhat lengthy, being over 600 pages, I was highly skeptical that sufficient time would be dedicated to review and edit it in its entirety. Upon receipt of my manuscript following the first round of editing I was overwhelmed at the professionalism and knowledge possessed by my editors, who far exceeded my expectations by providing me with literally hundreds of comments and suggestions. The superbly blended collection of suggestions, constructive criticism, and praise provided me with the knowledge and tools I needed to elevate the quality of my manuscript to a higher level. My gratitude for their contributions is beyond words.

    I have worked with Tellwell Publishing two separate times, and I have nothing but good things to say. First, they are trustworthy. You needn't be concerned about being scammed; I've been there and know how it feels to be ripped off.
    Tellwell people are talented, quick to reply to your questions and offer everything an author needs to get their book published. The prices are reasonable and they make certain you will be pleased with your finished product.
