    I recently completed the long process of publishing my first book with FriesenPress. This company retains a range of excellent professionals to support authors through this process and maximize the benefits, making it a very positive experience. Their people are their greatest assets in my opinion, with a very personal and sincere approach to business that made me feel very valued and that I was working with a motivated team that truly cared about my project and genuinely wanted to see me and my book succeed and be the best that it could be. They offer a range of service packages to fit any writer from new beginner to veteran, and with any budget. I had marketing and promotion support included for a very reasonable which exceed my needs and taught me many transferrable skills that I will be able to apply elsewhere in the future. Overall this was a hugely positive learning experience and I will always cherish my interactions with their staff. Many thanks to FriesenPress for making this emotional process so rewarding and successful. * ****** ********* ***** ******** ** *********

    I have worked with Friesen Press twice now to "self-publish" my novels through them. They have been knowledgeable, professional, and quick to respond to any inquiries during the publication process. It has been a joy to work with them! * ******** ********* **** *** *** *********** ******* *** *** ******* *** ********** *** ***** ******** ******* *** ******* ** ********** ***** ***** The variety of services they provide are comprehensive, flexible, and suit a wide variety of needs to help you put on that final polish and make your publication something you can feel proud of.

    Since 2017, I have self published four books using FriesenPress. Each time I have been through their process I have noticed the changes and improvements this company has incorporated to make their publication procedures more robust. It is great to see how this company strives to continually improve its methodology. I also enjoy the Publishing Insights they post on Facebook. I belong to a Writers’ Group with about fifty members, and I share many of the posts with the group.

    I am so grateful for Friesen Press's insights and guidance when writing my book!
    My objective for writing this book was for my family and, with the Friesen Press publishing team's assistance I couldn't be more pleased with the product and the outcome.
    This was my first attempt at writing a book and Hemingway I am not. The Friesen Press publishing team assisted me with the flow of the book, advice on improving it's content and creating a wonderful looking product that one could be proud of and a lasting legacy for my family and friends.

    My experience with Friesen Press was very positive. The people assigned to help me with each stage of the process were very kind, supportive and helpful. I received many helpful hints along the way, tutorials, articles, etc. and they did a beautiful job of my book cover and back cover copy. The designer worked very hard to condense the text of my novel (it is a lengthy book) to cut the page count down and make the print costs a little more reasonable. It was a long process, with many forms and questions to answer, but when you I saw the finished product, I could completely understand the necessity of having so much information at hand. I would encourage anyone thinking of self-publishing to take a look at Friesen Press and what they have to offer.

    Right from the first telephone conversation I had with the FriesenPress information and sales representative, I knew I had found the right company to publish my book. The representative wasn’t just interested in a sale, they wanted to know about me, and my journey in seeking a book publisher.
    I felt supported throughout the whole process from editing, to book design and distribution. My project manager was helpful throughout the whole process and replied to questions promptly.
    The online ‘Authour Account Centre’ is easy to navigate and offers easy communication and file uploads and downloads as well as all the information required for a seamless journey to publication.
    FriesenPress is a great company for anyone requiring self publication of their book. The employees are obviously good people who care about good books and their authors.

    I found FriesenPress to be an engaged partner throughout the process of bringing a first book to publication. The initial sales person shared information and provided some good advice. The project manager was supportive and replied to queries and requests in a timely manner. The editor grasped the intent of the book and provided excellent feedback. The cover design team listened well and created 3 good choices for a cover. The book design team was attentive to detail, honoured input and were responsive to suggestions. The FriesenPress Account Centre was an easily managed site with timely follow up from the Project Manager. The promotional supports were informative.
    I enjoyed the interactions with the staff with whom I interacted.

    When I received my first hard cover copy of my new book I was over joyed with the presentation!
    It was absolutely beautiful. Better than I expected. The Design team did such a fantastic job on the covers. The My Story team were so helpful for a new author and so patient with my inexperience.
    I am very appreciative.
