Five books, SNOW MEN, MERIDIAN, THE RED SHORE, SPECIAL MEANS, and IN THE BLACK -- four 1st Place Awards from the Colorado Independent Publishers Association’s EVVY Awards and four Outskirts Press Best Book of the Year Awards! How could I possibly ask for more?
IN THE BLACK is the fifth novel I have published with Outskirts Press. The reason for that is simple. Without question, they are the absolute best in the wilderness of independent publishers. The OP teams I have worked with are a great bunch of professionals who know their business exceedingly well and made this latest novel the absolute best it could be. None better. You are all top-notch, first class, and I thank you for all the awesome efforts you’ve made on my behalf.

I felt that I was in the hands of a pro...
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.
— David Matityahu Ben Avraham, author of There's No Such Thing as Magic Blood
The entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional...
Bridget, as well as the entire Outskirts Press team working with me, are exceptional. They held my hand through the entire process in addition to providing me with welcomed support and encouragement. I am looking forward to our next project together. I have recommended Outskirts Press to several freelance authors in my area. Thank you for making a potentially hectic journey so enjoyable and so satisfying.
— Paneque y Diaz, author of More Than What They Seemed
I will highly recommend Outskirts Press to my friends and associates…
My representative Jamie was always extremely professional and helpful during the entire process of my book publication. She always responded very quickly to requests and was always helpful throughout the entire process. She is a great role model and a great asset to the Outskirts Press family. I will highly recommend Outskirts Press to my friends and associates and also look forward to doing more business in the future. I am extremely pleased with my book publication and consider this a major milestone in my life . Thank you all very much...

I'm delighted with the outcome...
I was very happy with my author rep's responses to me. She did a superb job of answering my questions and helping me through the editing process. She was always available when I needed her. I'm delighted with the outcome--my book looks good and it's selling! Thank you.
— Kathleen O'Brien, author of Reclaim Your Right To Grow Old
I have been very pleased with the way OP helped...
I have been very pleased with the way OP helped and handled the publishing of both my books. Tina was my first great agent and Dana continued that care and concern. I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to all who are now asking "How can I get published? Please keep up the good work and the integrity you have with your company. May God bless you all for blessing your clients the way you do!
— Charlene Hendricks, author of Times of Refreshing
A great experience with Outskirts Press...
A great experience with Outskirts Press. I learned a lot in this process. I will do it all over again. Thank you so much.
— Esther A. Ota, author of Children: My Heritage - A Testimony
Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality…
The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
— Nancy L. Regas, author of The Art of Being a School Counselor
Thanks, Outskirts Press...
What a blockbuster learning experience I had being a part of self publishing with Outskirts Press! I felt empowered to the next challenge by both Allison and Dana. Their professional guidance and clear instructions when I needed help was crucial to feeling I could tackle the next step. I look forward to the experience with the marketing team. Thanks, Outskirts Press.

They turned my adoption memoir into a book that is not only beautiful to look at, it is pleasurable to read, easy to purchase online, and in less than a month already has had a profound impact on many people.

— Paul Kimball, author of We Are All Human Beings
Everyone worked hard to create an awesome final product…
The Outskirts Press team was helpful, attentive, prompt and detail oriented during the publishing process. It really felt like a team effort, and everyone worked hard to create an awesome final product that was my fully published book!
— Eric B, author of Realm of the Invader

— James A. Hunter, author of Soft And Gentle 8
I would like to thank everyone at Outskirts Press...
I would like to thank everyone at Outskirts Press for helping me getting my book (Storms of Jaycard) into print. I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would write a book and have it published. Once again, I would like to thank everyone at Outskirts Press for making my book dream come true.
