“Having previously used another publisher, who did not meet my needs, my experience publishing with Outskirts Press was quick and easy! Not only did they answer most of my questions with their website, they also assigned me a personal assistant, who was able to answer my additional questions. The process was very quick and professional. I liked the additional options that were available to me for design and marketing. This is not a “cookie cutter” process, but was tailored to my personal needs. The assistance available after publishing continues on an ongoing basis, to help me make the most of my writing career. I will continue to use Outskirts Press for all of my future publishing needs.”
