Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what our clients say:
I owe a special debt of gratitude to Joy Cooper, Senior Marketing Consultant and Sally Edwards, Marketing Services Associate and their production management staff members Dan and Charles. They applied exceptional guidance, editorial insights, and meticulous standards that guided me through the specific steps required to recognize my memoir as their AUGUST Author of the Month. In addition, their work ethic and commitment to excellent customer service through exceptional follow-up attentiveness and dedication to producing a customized effort to achieve optimal product display quality from beginning to end were outstanding. I am so thankful to have worked with such a first-rate and motivated group of people. I recommend The Maple Staple Bookstore and Bookside Press with my highest regard.

Soul to Soul: Connection and Communication
Book side Press is an amazing company that provides meaningful and engaging information to support authors in the process of publishing their books and supporting the publication process along with marketing and management of each step throughout. I honestly only have good things to say about my experiences with them and would highly recommend them. It is a bit costly to utilize the publication process but worth it.

We’ll Be Back Soon
Joy Cooper is not only knowledgeable, she is also resourceful. I collaborated with outstanding author representatives from Xlibris for more than a decade, but no one I trust as totally as I trust Joy with my life’s worship. She owns that rare quality of finding author solutions without putting pressure on the author. I am 100% satisfied with Joy’s respectful approach. Sincerely, Robert Vacca

Israela: Final Edition
I am very impressed with the quality of my books republished by Bookside Press and highly recommend this book publishing company. I was very pleased to do business with James Griffin, the publishing and marketing supervisor. He took time to encourage and explain every time I called. I was also blessed to have worked with Jess Perez in the printing process.

VOICES
Though there was a delay in getting my website started and developed, Marshall explained to my fullest satisfaction the reason for the delay – something about some serious technical difficulties. Once that problem was resolved by his developer everything went very smoothly. Marshall co-operated fully with every suggestion of changes or corrections that I presented. I think he and his developer did a fantastic job in the design of the various pages to catch the interest of potential readers. My opinion is that he greatly excels at serving his clients.

Life in Inspiring Places
I have been so satisfied with how Bookside press has continued to find avenues to promote my book. I really thought there would be no interest in helping me at all !!! Especially since the subject matter was so unknown and I also was totally unknown !! I’m so pleased in working with Zach Davis. He has seemed so interested in helping me to get my unique and first book out there !!!

Introduction to Lifestories Volume 1 Sheltered!
Not only do I find Bookside Press to be prompt and efficient, but graciously helpful and to respond personally when one of their authors runs into a problem or just needs clarification. In this day of technology and automation, personal contact is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. Not with Bookside, I am happy to report!

Hanging Out with Wild Animals
Previously, I shared on how satisfied I am with Publishing and Marketing Supervisor, James Griffin. This time, I am commenting on Publishing Services Associate, Olivia Dunn. Olivia has done a really great job. She has never been slow in moving forward with our project. She has always been on top of every situation. And what impresses me most about her is that when she makes the occasional mistake, she is very quick to acknowledge it, never making excuses. I am very happy with her work. Olivia and James make a great team together.
David Piper
Well, I think I have the best team of publishers in the world. I have been kept apprised of what is going on, I have been encouraged, and I especially appreciate the time put in on phone calls because it gave me not only information, but encouragement. It feels like I have a bunch of friends that want me to get the most out of this experience and I particularly appreciate the honesty of the cost involved as well as the discounts used on my behalf. I am really looking forward to what “Tough as Nails” can be when made available to the public through so many means, to be presented as both foreign and domestic.

Luisa Mirella Plancher
I’ve talked to dozens of publishing and marketing consultants over the last 5 years. No one can match the integrity and expertise of your consultant, James Griffin. He is absolutely the best. I am amazed how quickly he caught the vision of my book and is truly into promoting the message of it. I know James is an answer to the prayer I’ve prayed over the last 4 years.
David Piper
Your accomplishements are perfect. Hope we work together again. Thank you.

“Commendable teamwork with straightforward information and very understanding people knowing their business. Bookside Press should be a success with this publication crew.”
Steven Warren Swazo
“Bookside Press is so new to me that an evaluation of the company itself would be inadequate. However, since the people who work for the company have a large part in its reputation, I will start there. My contact at Bookside Press is Gilbert Daniel. He is new to Bookside, but not new to the publishing industry, and is an excellent example of what it takes to make up a good company. Gilbert is personable, dedicated and knowledgeable. I have worked with him for several years, and, during that time, he has seen me through some rough times in the marketing of my books. Seek others like him and your evaluations will soar!”
-Rachel was born in Kentucky and has lived in Ohio and Hawaii but now lives in Florida. She continues to be active in her writing, though somewhat limited by a vision problem. At a slower pace, she is still able to keep up with the activities she most loves, reading, writing and limited travel (limited due to pandemic awareness). Her book, The Early Years, is now in the process of publication in French translation and will soon be available to purchase. Her books, website information, and screenplay will be displayed in the London Book Fair in April.
