"Paula and Tracy, thank you for all your help in publishing my first book as I stumbled through the process. Both of you have worked endlessly and patiently with me and my manuscript until we have a finished product. Again, thank you so much for your help and going beyond the call of duty to reach my goal. Opportunities are opening now for me to present the book to churches and bookstores. I will be in touch but just wanted to let you know how grateful I was for your help! "
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude and appreciation to the Westview team of professionals for their expert and personal assistance provided from the moment of contact to final printing and sale of my book CODE RED. Westview’s assistance and communication was constant during the entire process and most reassuring to know they took a vested interest in the success of my book CODE RED. I actually developed a close friendship with those Westview staff assisting in the publication process.
I would strongly recommend anyone interested in publishing utilize Westview, My experiences were nothing but positive from beginning to end. Thank you Westview."
"Westview Publishing was an answer to a 20-year hope. In 1984, a publisher needed to be found for my daughter's legacy. Finally in August 2004 I put my hand on Westview News, one of Nashville's community newspapers. I'd never seen it. That very issue announced that Westview was adding book publishing that anyone could afford.
From my first call, there was a warm and personal response. An editor was excited about my manuscript, gave helpful critique, spent hours to make sure I'd be happy with the results. We waded through tons of pictures which he scanned and cropped; then designed the cover in the most perfect way to accent my book. Westview didn't stop with the book's publication. They did the work of registering it with the Library of Congress, sent review copies for advertisement, set up wonderful book signing events, and gave me beautiful postcards and bookmarks with the cover picture.
I am honored to recommend Westview Publishing to every author who wants their books in print without spending a mint. You will receive great service."
"My wife and I had worked on my book for almost two years and were about ready to have it published. We had gotten several estimates from a variety of publishers around the country . We found them to be a little slow about answering our mail and their prices seemed to be a little out of our range with our retirement income. We had lots of questions that could not be immediately answered because of the slow pace of communication in the mail system.
Our daughter, an avid Westview Newspaper reader, brought us a copy that had an ad for their newly established publishing company. We contacted immediately and they referred us to … Mr. Hugh Daniel who was very encouraging . We could hardly believe that we had found a local, hands on publisher that would be available to promptly answer all our questions . He quoted us a price better then any that we had heard of from other publishers.
We signed a contract and Mr. Daniel went to work on our book. He designed a very attractive book cover that had appeal to all our family and friends. He then went to work teaching us how to promote the book . It was published right on time as promised, at a price we could afford. They have continued to aggressively promote the book and sales have been better then we expected. I would recommend the Westview Publishers to anyone who is looking for a first class book at an affordable price."
"Westview Publishing Co. published my book in the fall of 2003 at the request of Sid Millson, my son-in-law. There was a book signing at Bellevue Mall which was so well done and such a nice experience for me. Westview Publishing Co (Hugh Daniel, Editor ) was so kind and helpful to both Sid and me, the author, in the publishing and marketing of my book. It has been such a pleasant experience working with them. I would highly recommend Westview Publishing Co. for anyone interested in having a book published."
"I was very pleased and satisfied to have my book, Nashville Nostalgia, published by Westview Publishing, Inc. in Nashville. I found the company to be quite efficient. Ther personnel worked with me tending to small details, taking pains in formulating a nice book cover, placing pictures artistically, allowing me to proof read the copy, and producing what I feel is a very nice product."
"When I was searching for a publisher for a genealogy, I spoke with many national publishing companies. The minimum order with one of those companies was fifty books. Most genealogies are self-published with the author paying all the costs. The average estimate that I received was $2000, a big investment for a first time author with a limited projected audience.
Westview Publishing was a great solution. Not only did they help with formatting and text preparation; they also advertised and provided a means to distribute the book. All this was accomplished very quickly and at about a third of the cost compared to the other companies.
What made the service even more enticing was the print on demand ability. No more having a stack of books in my office that I had to mail out with each order. The orders were placed through Westview Publishing's online service and shipped as they were printed. Not only was I satisfied; the customer got their book within a week or two. I’m so satisfied that I’m currently working on a second edition and a new genealogy to be published at Westview Publishing."
"Paula and Staff, Thanks for everything. You all have been so nice. Because of you I was able to publish my first book. I also wish you luck in all you do! Sincerely,"
Mitzi McCartha, Author of Bead Java
