TESTIMONIALS:

“You do so much for writers in promoting and supporting them. I needed publishing help from someone who was insightful and knowledgeable, who moved at the same pace I did so momentum would not be lost and frustration set in. [William] is that kind of person. His suggestions and expertise were invaluable in helping me. He kept me informed throughout revisions, editing, titles, cover designs, and all the other aspects of publication. He was always prompt in returning emails and answering questions, professional in his suggestions and comments, and he did what he said he would do. My experience with him was highly positive and energizing, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.” ~Jan Hill, author.

“William is a high-quality professional that strives to help authors reach their personal and professional goals. He is responsive, objective, and sets realistic goals. If you have a manuscript or require marketing to promote your brand, William is a good resource.”~Kurt Koontz, bestselling author “A Million Steps”. (KurtKoontz.com)

“I really appreciated your help. I enjoyed how you gave me tasks…. which motivated me to get it done. I never would otherwise.” ~Laura C Lefkowitz, bestselling author: “Bite Me: Tales of an Emergency Veterinarian”

“From his very first contact with me, William Gensburger taught me how to change my 5,000-word story into a novel. Throughout the process he gave me invaluable instruction, ideas, and encouragement, all while respecting my viewpoints and story. Under his patient guidance, I watched that 5,000-word awkward story come to life and transform into something I had only dreamed of.” ~Danielle Calloway, author “The Lost Child”

“Today we have digital (and traditional) publishing with strong people like William Gensburger who actually read your submissions, who advises you how to make your submission
better if need be and get it publishable for the reader.” ~ C. Dwayne Hitchcock

“I have appreciated this experience immensely. It was my first experience with being part of a book; I hope there are more opportunities in my future. The one on one editing attention I received was so helpful and generous on your part, I learned how to be a better writer through the editing process. I hope to submit more work in the future and continue this relationship.” ~S.T., author

“The whole experience for me was quite enjoyable. I appreciated your quick responses and opinions over any questions or concerns I had. You were very helpful and made the process seamless. Also, I thought the editing was spot on.” ~M.K., author

“Working with you has been a pleasure, William. The book was well designed, and the price was reasonable.” ~S.D., author

“I have to be honest, I had no idea who you were, but after familiarizing myself … I like your approach on how a book should be published, seems a win-win for both you and the author. You are honest, enthusiastic in what you do, and willing to take it all on. The process itself has been fun and personally rewarding. I have mentioned you to a couple of friends, encouraging them to send you their work. Thanks so much for your hard work.” ~C.H., author

“William has been a supportive companion in my efforts to get a book story, first of all, put right and secondly formatted in a way I could never have achieved on my own. William has been a constant source of professional, constructive advice, which, at times, I have cursed for the extra work involved but have come to appreciate as it drove me to higher planes in my writing and even my way of thinking about stories.” ~Robin Melhuish, author
