“I chose Outskirts for my 1st book, My Dog is More Enlightened Than I Am because I loved how they package everything at a set price and makes it easy for their first time authors. When publishing my 2nd book, My Dog is My Relationship Coach, there wasn't a question that I would use them again. The communication and expertise from editors, designers, and marketing is priceless!”

“One-Click publishing was just right for me! The ‘process’ pushed me to finish my book and get it published! The editors showed me that I was rusty. They were great and really improved my final product. All involved, from the cover design to editing to marketing were amazing!”
