The Best Business Model ...

Wheatmark is a pleasure to work with. Everyone is professional and supportive through all of the steps that it takes to get your finished book in hand. Additionally, I’ve found the people at Wheatmark to be great resources for the latest information on self-publishing, including how to get started marketing your book. Their business model is the best I’ve found. As an author who has been with two major publishing houses in the past, my experience working with Wheatmark is the best by far!

Extremely Pleased ...

I have published 12 books ... and I never had a better production experience. Best of all, the books are turning out to be well done. We had a problem with one batch, but it is resolved, and it looks like that won’t be repeated. So, I am extremely pleased, and am definitely going to consider Wheatmark as an alternative in the future.

Save Time and Frustration ...

Wheatmark was able to take the book I wrote, add their expertise, and bring it to fruition as a professional book. Wheatmark freed me to do what I do best: write. Also, Wheatmark offers strategies and resources for marketing my books that will save me time and frustration.

Essential to Writing Career ...

Without question, Wheatmark was essential to helping me build a career as a fiction writer. Your team made it easy and cost effective for me to bring my first novel to life. Today, I am represented by Larry Kirshbaum, one of the most powerful agents in the industry. I sold my second novel to BookSpan, the largest bookclub operator in the world and have signed a deal with Hachette (formerly Warner) Books.

The Highest Rating ...

I looked into a number of companies in deciding who would be the best one to publish my autobiography. Wheatmark was far and above all others in their field in their professionalism, in understanding your needs, and in their on-time commitment to giving you the best possible product. I give Wheatmark the highest rating!

The Best in the Publishing Industry ...

When I decided to self-publish my book, I spent over a month researching POD publishers. Since I had already published a book with Wiley, I was familiar with book publishing and wanted a professional partner. After my extensive research, I chose Wheatmark for the following reasons:

* Restrained sales hype by the staff and on the Wheatmark website
* Honest, straightforward advice on the opportunities, pitfalls, and tactics for marketing my book
* Industry standard discounts and return policy
* Competitive pricing
* Great Expectations

What I discovered after choosing Wheatmark:

* Highly professional editing, proofreading, and design
* A surprising flexibility to meet the needs of an author
* An arrangement with Amazon that allows Amazon to offer steep discounts
* Performance that exceeds expectations and meets the service descriptions

I’m about to publish my second book with Wheatmark and I’m convinced that they’re the best in the industry. Thanks a million.

No Surprises ...

My experience with Wheatmark has been a true blessing. [They] have gone out of their way to help me both before and after publication. The final product was very professional and completed in a timely manner. Most importantly, there were no surprises.

Consistently Professional ...

I’m very grateful that I found Wheatmark when I was searching for publishing companies for my book. You have been consistently professional, helpful, accessible, and friendly before, during, and even after the publication, which is very important to me. You are there, rooting for your authors. Thank you!

Better Than Expected ...

My experience with Wheatmark was even better than expected. The product is exemplary and working with the people at Wheatmark has been a delight. I recommend them highly.

Experience 100% Positive ...

My experience was 100% positive! [My account manager] was pleasant, professional and above all, extremely talented. I was totally satisfied with the finished product and would absolutely publish my next book with Wheatmark and recommend the same to other authors. Thanks to Wheatmark for a job well-done.

Alan Ellman

Process Made Easy ...

Having never published a book before, I was more than a little intimidated by the process. Wheatmark’s professionalism made it easy. When my next effort is completed there is no question where I will turn for publishing.

Elton Cowart
I Just Don't Look Good Naked Anymore

Impressed with the Quality ...

I selected Wheatmark following the recommendation of a friend who told me of her good experience working with that company. I was impressed with the quality of the product they produced and encouraged by the praise they were given by my friend. I am very pleased to report that I had a similar experience. Everything was handled expeditiously…. I can and do recommend Wheatmark to all authors who wish to see their work skillfully prepared and beautifully published.

Betty Joyce Colgate

Standing Tall ...

I don’t think of Wheatmark solely as the publisher of my book of essays. I think of them as the persons I have worked with and come to enjoy and trust… The quality of my book speaks for itself in the resultant product of our mutual consultations… [W]hen one looks at the ethical standards of Wheatmark, above all, and their insistence on “getting it right” and the satisfaction of the author, I think Wheatmark stands tall.

Don L. Nickerson
The Healing of Teddy Bears

By Far the Most Worthwhile ...

Compared to other publishers, I found Wheatmark offers authors the most options for turning manuscripts into highly marketable products. After reviewing a sample of several copyedited pages of my book, I decided to go this route. It was by far the most worthwhile money I could have spent. A highly trained copyeditor looked at far more than grammatical elements and sentence structure. This individual examined the content closely in terms of consistency, logic, story line, and character development, discovering any weaknesses in style and presenting several pages of recommendations. As a former English teacher, I was astounded at the revisions I had ahead of me, but I went to work and found that a much stronger manuscript emerged.

Would Choose Again Without Hesitation ...

I have been impressed by everyone I have worked with at Wheatmark. I found them responsive and invested in producing a quality book. The editors were knowledgeable suggesting edits that clearly strengthened the story. They are professionals who always treated my manuscript with respect. I would choose Wheatmark again without hesitation.

Never Disappointed ...

My book was published by Wheatmark in 2003. From the minute I contacted them, through the process of editing and final publication to today placing another order, they have consistently delivered superb service.

They are highly responsive, very pleasant and true professionals. Anyone that knows me knows I don’t give these types of compliments easily. I set high expectations and they have delivered each and every time. I am never disappointed. Congratulations Sam for running such a great company!

Professional Guidance ...

Finding Wheatmark on the Internet was the luckiest find of my life! Without the excellent editorial services that Wheatmark provided, I would not be able to say this. Great copy- and layout editing resulted in a work that receives high marks from readers all over the country. I am thankful for the relationship that I’ve enjoyed with Wheatmark. What they have given me as a new author is much-needed confidence and professional guidance that has made my book the best that it could be. I look forward to future publications with less fear, knowing that Wheatmark will be there to help me.

A Firm of Capable, Competent, Cordial Professionals ...

Certainly the financial arrangements are in favor of the author. More than that, perhaps, is the opportunity to deal with a firm of capable, competent, cordial professionals who offer their expertise generously during the process.

The Place to Begin ...

For any author looking to get a professional head start, Wheatmark is the place to begin…. Given that I have recommended Wheatmark’s services to friends and associates in the past, I can do no less for anyone else who is looking for either the “basics” or “full-service” publishing. I, for one, am convinced that one’s writing needs cannot be met elsewhere for quality, time, and cost.

Made Me Feel Very Proud ...

Wheatmark not only surprised me with how fast it turned my dream into reality, but also with the professional work of its staff delivering a very high-quality-looking book, making me feel very proud of my hard work as a writer.

Quality Result ...

I wanted to get my work published in a timely manner so I chose Wheatmark. They provided me a cost-effective solution that was handled in a very efficient and professional manner. They got the work done with a personal touch and out to the market with a quality result. I have had two books published by Wheatmark, and I would return to them with my next project.

Individual Attention ...

What a blessing and relief! In all my dealings with Wheatmark, I’ve been given such individual attention that I’ve come away with the feeling that I am their only customer, although I know I’m one of many, many authors they represent from all over the country. I will definitely consult with them on my next book project!

An Excellent Choice ...

I am extremely pleased with the quality of the final product. More than that, I couldn’t be happier with the service that Wheatmark provides. From submission to print, the company performed beautifully, flawlessly, and expediently, fulfilling everything they promise…. Anyone considering self-publication should do their homework on where the publishing industry is heading. You will find that Wheatmark, with all the included services they offer, is an excellent choice for birthing your writing dream. (Read the complete testimonial on our book publishing blog.)

Enthusiastically Recommend ...

Seeing my title page with my name listed and then actually holding the finished book in my hands was overwhelming. Respect and humor (not necessarily in that order) mean a great deal to me, and Wheatmark tirelessly supplied both. I enthusiastically recommend them...

Impeccable Character and Integrity ...

I was very impressed with my publishing consultant. He is highly-intelligent, friendly, and helpful. [And,] after speaking with Sam Henrie, president and founder of Wheatmark, I’m happy to say he is a man with impeccable character and integrity. If you want to get off to a great start, go with Wheatmark!

Diabetes Can Be Sweet ... Once You Bury It

Wheatmark delivered. The staff at Wheatmark is bright, knowledgeable, and never too busy to return calls, answer emails, or take the time to answer even the most rudimentary questions. They are insightful and sensitive to the many emotions that authors experience, figuratively holding my hand through those tense, about-to-be-published moments. They have very talented editors (high praise coming from a former English and journalism teacher). They are savvy business people who know their industry. And they have a sense of humor, which is an all-important ingredient to me. What more could I want?

Francine Pappadis Friedman

Kindness and Courtesy ...

Thank you for your professional and personal care to every detail of the publishing process. From the moment of my first call to this, I have felt your concern for the success of my book. Your kindness and courtesy are rare in this industry where writers daily deal with rejection.

Iris Lee Underwood
Encouraging Words for All Seasons

Outstanding Organization ...

When I sought advice from some author acquaintances who had used other publishers, I received only “draconian discouragement” and negative comments about their publishing experiences. However, when I located Wheatmark, on my own, the results have been a total surprise and an unending pleasure. Their courteous assistance and professional recommendations have been an absolute joy. I could not be more pleased with the treatment and service from this outstanding organization.

Hermon Price, M.D.

The Right Choice ...

I carefully researched and compared a number of publishers before choosing Wheatmark. It was the right choice! The presentation of my book is beautiful—from cover design to interior layout and text design. I would be proud to place it alongside any book on any shelf in any bookstore in the country. I would recommend Wheatmark without hesitation.

Empowering Writers ...

I love working with people like you. You are so helpful to me. Wheatmark is not simply a publishing business. It is rather, a relationship enterprise that empowers writers to share their knowledge with others through publishing.

Look Forward to Continuing Relationship ...

I am very pleased with the way the book looks and appreciate the help that your staff gave me. I look forward to a continuing relationship.

Timely, On Target, Always Positive ...

I was referred by one of your authors who was quite satisfied with your service. The service was timely, the info on target and the attitude always positive. Wheatmark took care of all the peripheral items related to the book in a fine manner allowing me to concentrate on writing. My Wheatmark book adviser Lori Leavitt was of great help and very professional.

Imad F. Abdullah
A Crystal Ball Visioning

Thrilled ...

Yes, I’m thrilled with the book. And yes, I’m thrilled with my total Wheatmark experience. Everyone at Wheatmark behaved in a highly professional and friendly manner. They discussed, they clarified, they guided, they responded. And to borrow from another industry, they all said “P.M.” but they delivered “A.M.”—and I’m talking about the entire process, not just the arrival of the author’s copies here in Massachusetts. In short, it was great to have them on my “team.” Now, I have to let my “baby” out into the world. It’s comforting to know that Wheatmark was there, and helped with those first critical steps.

Michael Sloan

Saved from Bad Publisher ...

I received my copies of my book and am thrilled with Wheatmark’s finished product! Thank you for saving me from [another publisher] and taking the time to explain to me how things worked, as well answering the other multiple questions I addressed to you. I’m looking forward to working with you again in the near future, and just wanted to drop you a line to say a grateful thank you!

That is what I like about you and Wheatmark. You do things right.

Bonnie Buckley Maldonado
It's Only Raven Laughing

Kept Well Informed ...

I wanted my stories to be immediately available to my readers, not sitting on some editor’s desk gathering dust. I found Wheatmark to be much easier to deal with. They actually listened to my input and addressed my concerns promptly and good-naturedly. Wheatmark kept me well informed every step of the way, so I knew at what stage of the process my books were.

M. R. Tighe
The Tartarus Trilogy

Consummate Professionals ...

I did extensive research when I was trying to decide who I wanted to publish my book. What finally clinched it for me was a conversation I had with [my publishing consultant], who as far as I knew was the “voice of Wheatmark.” His unrushed manner and comprehensive knowledge of the publishing industry made me feel like, with Wheatmark, my book would be in good hands. And I have never regretted that decision. Throughout the entire publishing process, I felt like I was dealing with consummate professionals who truly cared about my project, despite the fact that it was only one of many that they were currently working on…. I truly believe that this is just the beginning of a long and mutually-beneficial relationship. Thanks for everything, Wheatmark. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Helped Me Realize My Dream ...

I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks to everyone at Wheatmark for assisting me in creating my book exactly how I hoped it to be. From the very first encounter with Wheatmark staff, and throughout the entire process, especially editing, all of my questions were answered and all of my wants taken care of. I look forward to a long partnership with Wheatmark ... and I have passed on all that is so wonderful about all of you that have helped me realize my dream.

Could Not Ask for More ...

I very strongly recommend Wheatmark for independent authors looking for a book publisher. From beginning to end, their service was thoroughly professional. My account manager was always helpful and patient, and my book designer did a brilliant job of catching the essence of our novel. Our book came out beautifully, and I am very proud of it. As a writer, I could not possibly ask for more.

Traditionally Published ...

I am the author of six books with traditional publishers, and have found the services of Wheatmark to be the equal of any of them. I am now publishing a second book with Wheatmark.

Fourth Book with Wheatmark ...

Working with Wheatmark was an undiluted pleasure from start to book. All in all, it was a totally positive publishing experience, which is certainly unique in my life as an author.

This is the fourth book I’ve had done by Wheatmark, and every experience of working with you all has been very pleasurable and ultimately completely rewarding. I can’t say enough good things about Wheatmark.

Kenneth Ring, Ph.D.

Covered All the Bases ...

I didn’t have to spend tons of time learning how to publish, I just counted on Wheatmark to cover all the bases for me. They offer a “start to finish” service that makes it very easy for someone with no previous publishing experience.

C. L. Gregoire

Efficient, Cooperative and Professional ...

I wanted to tell you how much I appreciated [your editors’] exemplary work with me…. [They] are efficient, cooperative and professional. It’s a great pleasure to work with them!
