My experience with Bookslake is the best

My experience with Bookslake is the first I've done. When I couldn't find any book publishers to publish my book, I found a message from KDP Self Publishing and they transferred me to Bookslake. The first book I got published by Bookslake is "Emily and the Devil." I hope it becomes a best seller.

Excellent Experience!

The pros I worked with at Bookslake were wonderful! Not only did they edit my manuscript but turned it into a great-looking book with a fabulous cover! They were prompt in reading my ms, getting me proofs, and fixing my changes, all within my requested four-week deadline. It was a seamless, fun, and exciting process, and my book is getting loads of positive reviews. Thank you Nicholas, Ana, Ratchet and everyone else at Bookslake who worked on my book, "I'm Still Cringing: A Junior High Journal."

An experience you will not regret

What I can say is that if you want a positive experience and very quick results for your project, do not hesitate to contact and engage this company. I did, and was overwhelmingly surprised to find that my manuscript was handled efficiently at every step of the publishing project. I had Nicholas handle my project, and Anna is doing a very nice job handling PR for my book. I might add they are not that expensive and will work with your project as if it were their own.

Book Lake Experience Ed Carpenter

The edit and formatting process for me was very easy. It was also done timely, and the Books Lake team was prompt in responding and providing information as needed. The whole process only took 45 calendar days.
