Thanks to Michelle for making my book look great and for making the CreateSpace publishing process so easy! As a self-publisher, I knew that I wanted to go beyond the stereotypical amateur product and end up with a top quality, professional book that I could be proud of. Michelle provided me with excellent copy/content editing, formatted the interior and cover, and took care of uploading all the files for publication. I was able to concentrate my energies on writing and creating my marketing plan instead of wasting weeks or months learning how to do a bunch of tasks I’d never do again. My book is now in print far faster than I could have gotten it out alone, and no one who sees it can believe that it’s self-published.
I received my proof in the mail and I have to say it looks FANTASTIC. I want to thank you and your team for the outstanding service you have provided for me. I am stunned at how fast you were able to publish my book. Yet I can sit my book next to any book in my local book store, and feel proud. No one would ever know it was self published. Michelle you made me feel as though you cared about my project just as much as I did. I would tell any author who decides to self publish to partner with Odyssey Publishing. Thank you for helping me to achieve my dream of becoming a published author.
As a first time book publisher, most things were trial and error, and it was grueling. I hired a cover creator and was presented with a horrifying cover. Then, Michelle was recommended to me. What a world of difference! She was very patient, and seemed to instinctively know what I wanted. She sent me a choice of designs, and the magic one was right there. It is stunning! Just one small change (to my copy) and we wrapped it up. After everything I had been through, I still can't believe it! Michelle is the consummate professional in every way. She did an outstanding job! I couldn't be more grateful that my next books will have a home for spectacular cover design!
