Testimonials

“Wow” Appeal

I did a layout myself and felt quite pleased with my work, but the book just did not have that “wow” appeal. Now I realize I could have saved myself several hundred hours of work and enjoyed the process more fully in the meantime.
-George Dee Bankhead, family history book

 

Working Long-distance

Though I was living in St. Louis and he was living in Utah, Nathan walked me through the process of organizing images, developing the index, and other issues necessary prior to the printing of the book—all via phone and email.
-Tom Farmer, When the Saints Came Marching In

 

Clarifies Steps

I briefly told Nathan my dilemma, and in a short amount of time, he outlined for me a simple, clear-cut list of steps I would need to take to begin putting my book together. I went home and went to work, then met with him about a month later for more direction.
-Pat Carpenter, personal family history book

 

“Professional-level” Self Publishing

After seeing Nathan’s work at a book conference in Beverly Hills, someone emailed me saying, ‘To my eye, it appears to be self-publishing done right, on a professional level (for a change!).’
-Geri Marshall, author, Hannah Rose and the Prairie Fairies

 

Teaches You as He Goes

Wow! In an hour-and-a-half consultation, Nathan put my mind at ease, addressed all my questions, gave me lots of ideas by showing me examples of the work he has done, and taught me the basic principles of design that I will need.
-Pat Carpenter, personal family history book

 

Finds Problems Before They Happen

Nathan’s work is impeccable. He went beyond the standard expectation, identifying and flagging potential problems. He sought clarification before proceeding, rather than rushing through just to “get the job done.” He sought excellence and was careful to ensure it was done right.
