Jimmy John: A full life. A full ride. My journey. 1919- 2008 and still going 2009

"I have had a very interesting and exciting life and my family and grandchildren were always asking me to write stories about some of my experiences so at last while I was still active I decided to put pen to paper. The stories grew and grew until it was suggested I should publish then for other people to share my life.

A full life, A full ride, My journey 1919- 2008 and still going 2009 is a book of my life covering almost 90 years. I had no idea how to go about publishing it but I was referred to your company and Julie Bromfield with your staff were a great help to me and guided me through the requirements for publication.

Now with your help the whole exercise has come to a very satisfactory conclusion requiring several reprints.

Julie and your printing staff produced a very fine book that I am proud of and I have had many, many very complimentary comments and feedback from my readers of the quality and presentation I must commend all your staff on their professional help. Publishing a book was a new experience for me and we succeeded.

Finally I have no hesitation in recommending your company to anyone who wished to seek information on how to have a book published. "

Viti Taylor: call me Cobber

"Creative writing had always been one of my strengths, but unfortunately, talent going nowhere.

A collection of memoirs and humour, history and prose formed a collection of writing that centred around my father Trevor Chambers, otherwise known as Cobber.

I had attended a PublishMe promotional day. This was the beginning of fulfilling my dream of becoming an author by self publishing.

Julie gave great advice and friendly, helpful support and worked with me to achieve tight deadlines for the printing process. I was in full control of my creative project from beginning to end and the result was a very professional, finished product.

PublishMe provided on-line help with a broad range of service providers to assist new authors and downloadable free book information with step by step guidelines to help.

Pricing quotes were very fair and affordable and were e-mailed to me within one business day with varied price options. The unit price for printing my book remained the same, regardless of how many I chose to print. I received one free Proof Copy of call me Cobber and any alterations were done as requested. The PublishMe website is a great tool that allows viewers to read a short review about me and my book. I would certainly recommend PublishMe to anyone who is only just a dream away from publishing their own book. I know that this company can help you achieve this, because they helped me fulfil my dream come true."
