AuthorHouse Reviews: Publishing

AuthorHouse helped self-published author Tom Geiger pass his wisdom on to his children:

It gave purpose to my passion. It provided a way to communicate my thoughts to my children, to give them guidance as I could not be there with them. They can pick up my book anytime and be with me–a single Dad with my children 13 hours away.

Tom’s book, For My Children, is available at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.
Michelle Faciana
With AuthorHouse, teacher and self-published author Michelle Faciana can spread the joy of writing to her students:

I love reading to the kids in the elementary school, which is connected to the middle school where I teach. It’s priceless when they come up to me in the hall to say hello and, “I remember when you read your book to my class!”

Michelle’s book, Snicker’s Day Out, is available in the AuthorHouse Bookstore, along with many other great children’s titles!
Self-publishing with AuthorHouse allows author Vicki L. Kidwell follow her own schedule:

The best part of self-publishing is that there’s no deadline. You can write your book, add to it, share it with your friends for encouragement as you go, and when you’re published, people ask, “What happened to the characters AFTER the book ends?” which inspires you to write a sequel.

Vicki’s book, Dark Secrets, is available in the AuthorHouse Bookstore.
Alan Rybczyk
AuthorHouse provided hope to self-published author Alan Rybczyk (Me to You):

The greatest thing about being a self published author is it provides hope. Hope that what you tried to convey in your writing is captured by those reading it; hope that you somehow made a difference in someone’s life; and hope to achieve whatever success level you are striving for.

Self-publishing with AuthorHouse allowed nutritionist Evelyn Echols to inform others on better eating choices for their children:

Having the ability to create and have your own book publish is one of my personal life goals. I have always written poems and songs in that childhood rock band, but as a child nutritionist/speaker and demonstrator, self-publishing helps to express the concept which focuses on many families’ nutritional needs.

AuthorHouse is proud to help self-published author Fred G. Dickenson spread his message to others:

I have been writing for more than 30 years for the USAF or as a teacher. Until I became a self-published author, I did not realize how fulfilling writing could be. Not only has it been personally rewarding, it has allowed me to share with others my faith, my experiences and my love of life — a life full of “Hard Knocks and Consequences.”

Fred is a teacher and retired Air Force captain. His book, Hard Knocks and Consequences, is available at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.

Alan N McPhail
AuthorHouse helped self-published author Alan N McPhail create a lasting memory:

I will never forget the day when my first box of published books arrived. The thrill of seeing a pile of books with my name on them as the author for the first time was fantastic. It will always remain as a special day in my memory and made all the hard work in creating my book worth it.

Alan’s book, My Reluctant Journey, is available at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.

Joanna Fleur O`Neill enjoys the freedom that comes with being self-published with AuthorHouse:

The greatest thing is freedom, the freedom to feel a sense of achievement on publication, the freedom to feel confident that you can actually write, and above all the freedom within your mind to begin your next book and best-selling sequel. It`s great being a self-published author!

Joanna’s love/travel story, The Heat of Love in a Bar, is available at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.

AuthorHouse author Aloysius Aseervatham appreciates the ease of self-publishing:

Self-publishing is hassle-free. One has to submit only a camera ready copy of the manuscript
and pay the attractive low printing cost, taking advantage of the special discounts given from time to time. The printed book is ready for the public to buy in a few weeks. It is then up to the quality of the book, the extent of advertising done and the price charged that decides the success or not of the book.

Mathematician and teacher Aloysius Aseervatham’s book, Graduated Algebra, is available at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.

Self-published author June Marie Saxton found that AuthorHouse let her publish her books her way:

I labored, bringing my books to life. They have become my children, inborn with all the creative genius I could muster! They are mine…and I could not give custody of them to anyone. I would name them, and I would raise them–it was not the job of a publisher to foster them for me!

AuthorHouse helped Author Bob Walklettget around a common Catch-22 for new writers:

I think the greatest thing about being a self-published author is that one can tell one’s story, when most publishers will only publish work from an established author. AuthorHouse opened the door for me, and I was able to publish my story quite quickly. Thank you, AuthorHouse.

You can find Bob’s book, Just Passing By, at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.
Just Passing By

Author Bonnie Belmudes has found that the joys of self-publishing with AuthorHouse extend beyond herself:

The best thing about self-publishing my children’s book, The Adventures of Gus and Gunther, was making my dream come true. I have always wanted to make kids smile at what I would write about; now, when I read my book to them, their faces light up. I’m planning on writing a second book to follow the first, and I would not go anyplace other than AuthorHouse.

AuthorHouse helped author Kenbra S. Berni make her first self-publishing experience a positive one:

I loved the fact that I had full control of publishing my first book with the full support and guidance of AuthorHouse employees and I get to keep all rights to my published book. My very first publishing experience at becoming a first-time author was an exciting experience.

Check out her book, Angels of Children, at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.

AuthorHouse published author Joseph Blake, talks about the support he received during the self-publishing process:

One of the best things about self-publishing with AuthorHouse is, if you’re like me you don’t have to know much of anything about publishing. However you have complete control over your manuscript. I was a bit nervous about what I was doing but after getting started having and the professional support from AuthorHouse having a your own team, that you have complete control over, is really what’s so great about the self publishing with AuthorHouse. Just Do It!

Joseph’s book, This Little Village, is available at the AuthorHouse Bookstore.

Two-time AuthorHouse published author Joseph Ruggier is delighted his first book has become a movie. He also explains why he feels fortunate to work with AuthorHouse in his AuthorHouse review.

A Rose On Ninth Street was my first fiction novel. It has been made into a movie. The film takes a different direction from the book. It is shot in the present time period while the book is written in the 50`s, and the landscape is somewhat different from the book. However, like the book, the film deals with forgiveness, redemption, and does justice to the book. It was both a challenge, and a positive experience to be one of the producers and to write the screen play. Thank GOD that I listened to my inner self and took up the challenge to write. I feel so fortunate to have worked with AuthorHouse . We had our first test screening on June 13th, in front of 318 people. The responses were very positive. The film is now in LA with a consulting team. They are working with us to complete the final cut of the film. Please check out our trailer. Thank you – remember don`t let anyone rain on your dreams.

AuthorHouse publishing reviewed by AuthorHouse published author Amanda Rose Daul.

I recently received my author copy of my first book from AuthorHouse, and it is absolutely amazing! I had extremely high expectations, and yet you guys managed to far exceed them.

Thank you AuthorHouse!

His first love is a tribal woman living in the city for livelihood. Read more about the book >

Author Julie Ashton’s publishing experiences highlighted in her AuthorHouse review.

My daughter had her book published by AuthorHouse (Kirsty’s Story living with neurofibromatosis and scoliosis) , we found them to be really helpful and the quality of the book is really good. I would recommend AuthourHouse to anyone thinking of having a book published .

Neurofibromatosis (NF) can be a very cruel condition and no one can say what life holds for someone with NF, with me it caused Scoliosis, which required major surgery. An operation at The Manchester’s Children’s Hospital in March 2005 to place two titanium rods on ether side of my spine to correct my scoliosis came with risk. Read more about the book >

Author Danny Hone talks about his publishing experiences in this AuthorHouse review.

Paid Sept 16th had the book in my hand October 12th! WOW! Only speed bump so far is no one can tell me how much it costs me to buy additional copies of my own book and that information isn’t showing in the book consultants computer, which shows I have to pay full retail price. Got excited when book arrived and looks like I prematurely sent out a press release and internet ad campaign. Not upset since this whole process went super fast. I figured someone got the cart in front of the horse and it will all catch up soon enough. Overall I’m highly impressed and strongly recommend AuthorHouse to everyone!
