I had a great experience working with Bear With Us Productions. This was my second time working with the team. All of my experiences thus far have been terrific. To date, I have published two children's books, as well as completing various other smaller projects (book trailer, website design, etc.), and each assignment was completed timely with the utmost professionalism. This company is superb. The illustators create amazing artwork and are open to taking direction from the client. Plus, they will work until they get your vision right. The team displayed awesome customer service and great attention to detail. Moreover, each team member was incredibly dilligent from start to finish. After working with this talented group, I cannot imagine selecting another company to bring my vibrant storybook to life, the way in which they did They did a fantatic job developing both of my children's books. I recommend Bear With Us Productions.

I had a fabulous experience with Bear With Us Productions! From beginning to end, they walked me through the entire publishing process with care and expertise. As a first-time children's book author, finding them was truly a blessing.

Not only did they help me better understand what it takes to become a published author, but they also paired me with an amazing illustrator (Jenny) who worked pure magic—bringing my story to life with the most beautiful illustrations that perfectly captured key moments. Their editing support was invaluable, and they guided me through all the necessary steps to ensure my book was ready for publication.

I cannot recommend Bear With Us Productions highly enough! As an author, seeing my stories come to life in beautifully illustrated and professionally produced books was an absolute dream come true. From start to finish, their team was creative, professional, and incredibly dedicated to ensuring the final product was perfect.

The books they produced—'Bears of Bray: What Makes Yellow Snow?' and Bears of Bray: 'St. Patrick’s Day Adventure'—turned out beautifully. The illustrations are vibrant and engaging, perfectly capturing the essence of the stories. The team was incredibly collaborative and responsive, ensuring that my vision was honoured while also bringing their own expertise to enhance the final product.

Working with Bear with Us Production has been an absolute delight! This is my second time collaborating with them, and they have once again exceeded my expectations. My first book, The World Needs a Uniquely Happy You, which went on to win multiple awards, was brought to life through their exceptional expertise in illustration and formatting.

For my newest book, Shining As I Am, they delivered the same phenomenal quality and dedication. Their team is not only highly professional but also deeply passionate about creating meaningful, vibrant, and engaging stories for children. They took my vision and transformed it into a beautifully polished masterpiece that I'm incredibly proud of.

I wholeheartedly recommend Bear with Us Production to any author or illustrator seeking a trusted partner for their children's book projects. Their creativity, attention to detail, and unwavering commitment to excellence make them an invaluable part of the publishing journey. Thank you for helping me shine!

Andy and his team exceeded all of my expectations. They were magnificent! I stumbled upon Bear With Us via Google. Once Andy and I connected, we discussed the idea of my first children’s book, my timeline, the vision and packages they offer. I picked The Full Works package. It’s worth every penny and some. Andy found the perfect illustrator, Vanina, who brought Tiffany’s Growing Garden to life in a way I never imagined. It is stunning! This team handled a very personal project with grace and understanding. They answered every question and made the publishing process so smooth! I look forward to working with them again in the future! 10 stars!

The whole experience from beginning to end has been incredible. The whole team is professional, kind and available. Andy told me at the beginning to enjoy the process and enjoy I did! The process was magical for me. My book is beautifully done. The illustrations done by Oscar Chavez are amazing. Oscar was able to capture exactly what I was looking for. I am so pleased, I plan to us Bear With Us Productions for the second book in this series. I can not thank them enough!

What a brilliant, patient and professional team. They were there for every question I had and nothing was too much trouble for them. I really felt that they were as invested in my book as I was and really wanted to make it the best it could be. The illustrations are amazing, like they crawled into my brain and saw what I imagined and then made it ten times better. It has been easy and enjoyable working with them, I'll be back with another book hopefully soon.

Wow! Bear With Us Productions have been absolutely amazing from start to finish. Andy and Emma have responded to every single query so promptly and with such patience, professionalism and encouragement. The illustrations are absolutely superb and I could not be happier with the way my story has been brought to life. The process of working together to shape and craft the character designs and edit the storyboard was so much fun and to say the book has far exceeded my expectations is a real understatement. Huge thank you to the whole team who helped create ‘The Brilliant Mr Blipple’! Can’t wait to work together again on my next book!

What a great experience with the Bear with Us Productions team. Start to finish, they made my experience as a first time author so simple. I must have asked a million questions and they were all so patient with me and explained the process and options available and guided me through the self publishing process. Couldn't be happier with the whole team I worked with. Huge shoutout to Emma and Andy for directing everything and Martynas for his great illustrations. The whole team was great to work with and I cant recommend them enough. The book was extremely personal to me and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I look forward to working on the second book in the series in January 2025.

First time with Bear With Us productions and everything was very smooth and the customer service and attention to details was second to none. Really excellent work from all of the team.

My third time working with 'Bear With Us Productions'. Another great experience! Communication is excellent, and as always, thorough attention to detail. The team are very friendly, and the standard of work and artistry is very high, I wouldn't work with anyone else!

Bear With Us was with me every step of the way. I completed two books with them so far and both have been an amazing experience! Starting to write my 3rd and Bear With Us is the only company I would trust to make everything go smoothly. Super illustrators, amazing all around staff. There’s someone for every step of the way. I can’t say enough. Thank you so much for this amazing journey we went on. I couldn’t have done it without you guys. 🙌🏼✨🙏🏻😊

I’m so glad I found Bear With Us Productions! This is my second book with them, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
First, a huge shout-out to Andy, the wizard director. I’m not entirely convinced he’s human. He’s always available when I have questions, and solutions seem to appear in the blink of an eye! Honestly, sometimes I wonder if he’s secretly a robot. =)
Andy, I can’t thank you enough for pointing out that my 'perfect' manuscript needed editing (ouch, but true). Your edits transformed my book from 'good' to 'wow,' making it even more captivating and polished, grabbing readers from the very first page.
Luisa, your formatting skills are pure artistry. Your keen eye for fonts and layout brought my words to life on the page. Thanks indeed for not settling until every letter looked just right.
Romont, your illustrations are beautiful. I appreciate how you adapted my vision, even when it wasn’t your usual style. You nailed it.
And Richie, thank you for the lovely cover design. I can’t imagine a better representation of my book.
To anyone considering working with Bear With Us Productions—DO IT!!! They are a trustworthy, talented, and dedicated team that will make your book shine more than you thought possible. You’ll be in excellent hands!!

Bear With Us Productions did a great job bringing my children's book to life. I had a very specific vision and their attention to detail and vibrant illustrations helped capture the essence of my story.
I've already referred a close friend who has signed on and began her journey with the company as well.

Such a professional service and the quality of my finished book is outstanding. This is the third book that I have had created by Bearwithusproductions and once again they have delivered on all aspects .
So so glad I found them when I embarked on self publishing my picture books and looking forward to continuing working with them 👌

I was so fortunate to find Just Bear With Us. Before I found them, I had contacted multiple artists who could not accurately capture my vision. I thought my book would never get made. However, from the very beginning after seeing the rough sketches from my artist Martynas, I knew that the illustrations and final product were going to exceed even my own expectations.

The team was fantastic to work with, and extremely responsive. They assisted with any questions I had and even gave advice based on their years of experience.

What a fantastic idea for a company - to help people bring their books to life! I am happy to say my book was #1 on Amazon's Hot New Releases and debuted in the top 3 in each of its categories!

Thank you to Andy, Luisa, Martynas, Richie, and the rest of the Just Bear With Us team! You should be proud of the work you do.

We would highly recommend Bear with us. They made making our story into a book a very enjoyable experience. They were very helpful throughout the process and always answered any questions we had, quickly. If you're wanting to create a children's book definitely use bear with us!

This company was an amazing find. I decided to start on the adventure into publishing a children's book when I came across a poem I had written some years ago and was encouraged by friends to publish.
From the very start BWUP acted as my guide through the process - all of which was conducted in a friendly and efficient way, using the Basecamp project management website.
The process is nowhere near as complicated as I had previously thought (assumed?) and they were on hand to explain, encourage and assure throughout.
The advice offered regarding the storyboard, images and text was sound and respectfully given. Resulting in some great enhancements to the story that I hadn't previously considered. They also helped to manage conflicts between any small pre-conceptions I had and beneficial changes they suggested. This was done in a way that, as the author, I retained my ability to choose but was encouraged to be open to the opportunities and improvements that there experience provides. This was evidenced by the adoption of some of their ideas, retaining my original idea and others coming out of a hybrid of the two (or something totally different that the discussion inspired).
The artwork is of a really high quality and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole process.
The only possible downside is that all communication is done through the site/app and there were a few times when it would have been nice to just sit down (virtually or physically) and talk to the illustrator/editor - rather than trying to describe the edits and suggestions that I wanted. But I soon got used to it. I totally understand how this is an accurate audit trail of any decisions made and the time zones of the various people involved in the project would make it difficult to achieve. I guess this also helps BWUP manage to keep this such incredibly good value for money.
Huge thanks to all involved in the process and I will definitely use this company again for future children's books.

The team was great, really professional and they got my project across the finish line
