1 starThe consultant I was dealing with didn't honor our original agreement to help me self-publish my ebook, softcover, hardcover, and audiobook. He decided just to print the book and let go of the audiobook. He said that due to the questions I asked during our conversations led him to believe that my tech skills and computer wise constituted a stretch of my abilities. He wanted someone else to navigate the process of self-publishing my book ******* ** ** *** *** ***** **** **** ***** ******* ** ******** ** ** *** *** ****** He doesn't know me **** **** and/or know my level of education. I intended to hire FriesenPress as experts to help me self-publish my book, not to be insulted in the process. I know the consultant was upset because I told him I had done my own editing and would do my own marketing. ** *** **** ********** ** ****** **** ***** **** ** ******* ** ******* ** ******* **** *** ********** **** I told him I felt insulted by his demeanor, ** ****** ******* ** ***** ***** **** ** **** ******** *** ** **** *** *** ****** **** ************** ********Review fromPaul V

I have now published two books through Friesen Press. They were very professional in their approach and willingly listened and responded in a positive manner to any concerns that arose the process of bringing the books to completion. * **** *** **** ******** ** *********** ***** ******** ** ****** *** *** *********** *****************

I felt safe throughout the entire publishing process with FriesenPress. The editor, proofreader, and book designer did excellent work and were happy to discuss their corrections and suggestions with me. My publication specialist was a superb communicator who I had confidence in, knowing that she would address every question or concern I had. Lastly, the promotions specialist spent months with me improving my social media and marketing skills. I went from posting an occasional photo on Facebook or Instagram to creating business accounts on both and learning how make posts and reels to promote my book. This lead to two interviews about the book on podcasts. FriesenPress made the experience of publishing my first book a delight. I would use their services again.FriesenPress Inc.

How can I best express my gratitude for the advice, direction, and support that I have received from my "team" at FriesenPress? "Thank you" is true but hardly enough. Over the months that it took for my publishing specialist, copy editor, and designer to turn my original manuscript into a published book, I always felt that my best interests were at heart. My questions were many, my inexperience very obvious; I had never published a book and I am not a technological wonder. So I will always be grateful especially for the patience and understanding that everyone showed me. We were separated by several provinces across the country and thus separated by time zones, yet without fail I received a most timely response from my publishing specialist to every one of my emails. And it was especially nice to have those chats on the telephone. My book is now published and I am so happy with the responses I receive from people as they hold it and admire the cover design--and then read it. I spent a very long time, years in fact, on my book and it was emotionally very difficult for me to finally let it go, but my "team" helped me. Very best, MarianneFriesenPress Inc.

FriesenPress has made my first time publishing a most positive experience. My project specialist was always quick to respond to any of my questions, in a welcoming manner. The guidance my specialist offered was very much appreciated, and helped me to get my novel across the finish-line. Thanks Nicole, for being part of this bucket-list journey. As a Canadian author, I was also very pleased to be able to work with a Canadian publisher.FriesenPress Inc.

Their team is knowledgeable and very helpful in achieving your goal. They can answer any of your questions and concerns. For anyone wishing to publish a novel, stop wasting your time attempting to deal with traditional publishing firms. Self publishing with Friesen Press was a great experience.FriesenPress Inc.

I didn’t know what to expect when I submitted my first book to FriesenPress. I was so nervous! The sales team was so helpful and encouraging. The editorial team was professional and knowledgeable, and helped me form my scattered thoughts into a story. Then to have a publishing team as patient, kind, and compassionate as I found, beyond compare. I now have a book I’m proud of, and am working on my second, to be submitted soon back with Friesen! I can’t wait! A big thanks to all members of Friesen who so patiently helped me through the self publishing process.FriesenPress Inc.
