“Smooth… from start to finish. Tina, Brie and Jackie were the folks I dealt with and they are excellent. When I stumbled or needed help with an issue they were quick to respond. Great job, Outskirts Press and Thank You. If you are a new author trying to publish, I highly recommend these people. I am now several hundred pages into a second novel and will surely continue with Outskirts.”
