Members talk about the PublishMe Process

Julie Leibrich: Shadow Friend

Although Julie has had eight books published through traditional publishing houses, she has been so pleased with her first success in self-publishing through PublishMe that she sent this very kind feedback of her experience - writers about to embark on the exciting publishing process will enjoy reading her thoughts!

Janet Murdoch: Railway to Welbourn

"I logged onto publishme.co.nz and found the six steps to publishing a book really easy to follow and that set me on the process to actually use these guidelines to publish my own book."

Tim Brown, David Shillington: Changing Standards

"We decided to publish a selection of our columns on aspects of Popular Science which we have now published weekly in the Manawatu Standard for four years. Having made that selection, the search for a publisher led us to a Publish Me seminar in Palmerston North. It looked too easy and manageable. What was the catch? Well, there was no catch, quite the contrary. The original quote was actually more than the final cost and Ocean Reeve and the team advised us all along of the ways to save money. The key feature of Publish Me is that you start and finish where you like in their publishing flow chart (six steps from memory). You do not need to use all the steps but we would urge you to at least consider every step carefully from the starts, it will save you errors, time and money. We made lots of mistakes which need not have happened if we'd followed the Publish Me plan more closely. Having said that, Publish Me were never critical, only encouraging. We did the job within a year and it could have been sooner had we taken more notice of the Publish Me plan. When promising the volumes for a book launch Ocean and the team were slightly ahead of the deadline. Working with Publish Me was positive and pleasurable. Try it, I think you'll enjoy it."

Jane Hughes: The 'Wish What You Want' Toy

"I thought your website was very helpful to me in many ways. I didn't know where to start with my book but all the information was there in one place on your website and a list of talented people to choose from to help . . . I don't think you need anything else to improve the website. It is easy to understand, very helpful and wonderful."
