Bear With Us Productions Reviews 

I am so pleased with my first children's book! My illustrator, Nivya, is so talented and worked tirelessly on the project. Everyone at Bear With Us was dedicated and responsive with every question or idea that I had. I have already started planning my next book and can't wait to get going again with the team!

Excellent experience as a repeat customer.

I've worked with Just Bear With Us twice now on 2 children's books. Both experiences were outstanding. The cover art, the illustrations, the layout and the project management process makes things much easier than doing it on my own.

Working with Alice the designer of my book was a wonderful experience as she created the characters and their environment and brought to life my short story as well as allowing me to have total control of the outcome of the design of my book which looks beautiful and very professional. Luisa who was the project manager guided the whole process with great ease and efficiency and came to the rescue by providing solutions for me when I was stuck in two minds on things. Also Andy the director was always on hand to answer any questions I had regarding the business process of having my book designed.

Wow where do I start. I have just finished my journey of creating and publishing my first children’s book and I can’t credit Just Bear With Us productions enough. From start to finish it was was a joy working with the team and bringing my vision to life. They made the whole process effortless and enjoyable despite me being nervous and apprehensive with it being my first book. Anyone thinking of writing and publishing a book who wants dedicated care and attention look no further than these guys. Honesty I can’t credit them enough and really look forward to working with the team again in the near future. - Dave

I was a bit nervous about getting my first book published and whether i was making the right decision. However these were the right guys for me. They were very professional from the start. Kept me informed throughout the process and answered all of my questions (and very quickly). Nothing was too much trouble for them. Now that my first book is out there, i will definitely be back with another book in the near future. You won't be disappointed! I highly recommend Bear with Us Productions.

I recently finished my very first children's book with the help of Bear With Us Productions, working closely with Andy and his incredible team. From the very beginning, they proved to be the perfect team for me to work with. They constantly supported and guided me throughout the entire process, making sure the book was exactly the way I envisioned it. The communication was outstanding and I truly felt they heard everything I was saying. I had specific requests regarding the characters and the layout of the book, and they brought every detail to the story. Reka, was the incredible and talented illustrator that I chose. Her illustrations brought my story to life. To anyone considering writing a Children's book, I highly recommend Bear With Us Productions!

Fantastic company to work with. Artwork and layout were top notch. Very happy with how the book turned out and would highly recommend!

Great company to work with, highly recommend.
I have worked with Andy and the rest of the Bear with Us team for the past few years and always had a great experience.

I first found Bear With Us Productions through an online search engine and they immediately stood out from the competition. Their website looked very slick and professional, and their vast catalogue of previously produced children’s picture books was impressive. Their work is of a remarkably high standard and the book covers I saw were all visually exciting.

After looking through their services, I decided to opt for their ‘Authors’ Favourite’ package. I then picked my illustrator for my project - Romont Willy, who is extremely talented! I had the full support of the company directors Andy Wheeler and Richie Evans along the way. I was allocated a project manager - Luisa Moschetti, who was always punctual, and she helped see the production of the book through to fruition within 3 months, from start to finish. The team have been brilliant throughout, with excellent communication and ability. They really listened to what I wanted throughout the process, and they had a ‘we can do it’ attitude to make things happen. I must give them credit for their support during the character design phase, where we spent plenty of time seeking perfection! From the hairstyles, to the clothing and tiny, but key details such as jewellery. The team always strived to meet my needs, including, during the colour illustration phase and the final formatting of the book, where together, we ensured that the creativity, continuity, and legibility all aligned.

Now the team have successfully produced my first self-published book, ‘Movie Night with the Wizziwigs’ which is the first of the ‘Wizziwigs’ children’s picture book series.

Thank you Bear With Us Productions for making my dream become a reality!

I have worked on several children’s books to date and I have to say that there are so many advantages to working with Bear With Us Productions. They are awesome at formatting and designing books, including font typography, which freelance illustrators will either not give any attention to or will charge extra. BWUP will do all that and also work with you to make sure everything is exactly how you want. Also, they stay with you until the final publication stage which is amazing! If I struggle to get files up onto a publishing platform, they help me with that…. Something I have to pay extra for otherwise. And they are soo flexible and helpful it’s amazing. They have helped me publish my books in Punjabi despite not knowing the language. The results were absolutely stunning. And the cost for the services they provide are so reasonable (I know because I have paid individual illustrators more than I pay for a package with BWUP and completely regretted it because the publishing support was non-existent in comparison). The illustrations always turn out amazing, the covers, the whole book format - it’s an amazing service.

My wife and I had an idea for a children’s book and what we hope to be a series. But we had absolutely no idea how we would put it together. We have four kids and very busy lives. We couldn’t imagine what it would take to figure it all out. But then we stumbled across Bear With Us and we can’t imagine how we could have done it without them. They held our hands through everything. Looking back now, it’s amazing how little we knew and how much we have learned. The final product is outstanding. The book, the ebook, and the audiobook are all excellent. All the little extras we got with “The Full Works” package are more helpful than we could have imagined. We look like professional children’s book authors to our friends, our family, and to the world. We even feel like professional children’s book authors. We now ARE professional children’s book authors, but only because of what these talented people bring to the table. Without them we’d still just be dreaming of “some day.” Instead we’re dreaming of “what’s next.” Bravo Andy and Team!

I honestly cannot go past Bear With Us Productions for a complete package of book production. I have just finished the audio production of, Captain Stinky Bot: The Fartiest Pirate that Ever Live. THE AUDIO - I cannot stop laughing at the result and the commitment for exceptional product on this was exceptional. The sound studio must have had some laughs doing it. Andy, Louisa, Sound Production Christian, Emma, narrator James and illustrator Andri.... I was swept away in the production of the book and now I am mesmerized with the exceptional quality of the audio. I could go on and on. I have regrets with coordination and unnecessary mistakes before I found Bear With Us and now I am a devoted fan..... I just couldn't go anywhere else. I have gone even further after the packages with the creation of ebooks, songs etc and Andy has coordinated the lot. He is always fair and reasonable and doesn't punish you (when he could) for not choosing the packages with bells and whistles in the first place. Andy is a true visionary and he has created a phenomenal product for the vision of my book collection and I live 8830 miles (14,210 km) from the base, in Outback Australia. That's the other thing...... Being in Australia, we are prevented from uploading on ACX (tax implications I believe). The team found me a solution for this when I was so despondent and when they were not even in the same country! If I can accomplish this, anyone can, but you will need Andy in your back pocket if you want the whole deal, smooth and coordinated. In the end, it was easier for me to work an extra few shifts to afford the extras rather than spend days, weeks, hours doing something that was definitely not my skillset. Thanks EVERYONE.

I honestly cannot go past Bear With Us Productions for a complete package of book production. I have just finished my fourth book with the company and booked another because of the exceptional standards and range of packages. THE AUDIO - I cannot stop laughing at the result and the commitment for exceptional product on this was exceptional. The sound studio must have had some laughs doing it. The Premier is undoubtedly the best value for money and quality product than any other I have come across. I have used the other packages and they are great but the animated trailer for you tube, Good Reads, advertising is exceptional and I would challenge you to find a better package price unless you really know what you are doing and can contribute in a digital way (definitely not me...) Andy, Louisa, Sound Production Christian, Emma, narrator James and illustrator Andri.... I was swept away in the production of the book and now I am mesmerized with the exceptional quality of the audio. I could go on and on. I have regrets with coordination and unnecessary mistakes before I found Bear With Us and now I am a devoted fan..... I just couldn't go anywhere else. Then there are the extras, "Andy, can you give me a quote for a proper ebook" - "how about 3?" "Andy, can we put a proper song in this?" "Andy, can you give me a quote on......." "Andy I am technically illiterate can you please explain. Again." Andy is a true visionary and he has created a phenomenal product for the vision of my book collection and I live 8830 miles (14,210 km) from the base in Outback Australia. If I can accomplish this, anyone can, but you will need Andy in your back pocket if you want the whole deal. Thanks EVERYONE.

I just completed my first book with Bear With Us Productions and the experience was excellent! Extremely professional, great communication and on point with every aspect of bringing my book to life. Anytime I had a question they were quick to respond and provide suggestions as needed. I also had an audiobook done and was excited that I was able to choose between an American or British accent. The audiobook sounds amazing! I provided sample images for the characters and the illustrator ran with it and did a phenomenal job! I can't wait to start working on the follow up to my book, and would highly recommend Bear With Us Productions to anyone looking to work on a children's book. I would like to thank the entire team that worked on my project for help making one of my dreams come true!

A great company to work with. Communication throughout the whole process was really good, answered all my question really quickly. It was very nice being able to see and comment on the illustrations throughout the whole process.
They also were able to achieve a nice quick turn around for us.
I so pleased with the finished result and would not have been possible to do without the help of Bear With Us!

Publishes my first book with the help of bear with us publications. Being totally new to all this they helped me through the whole process. Nothing was a bother or a silly question. It is a book that is close to my heart so getting it right was really important. Claudio did a fab job with the storyboard and was happy to make changes to make sure it was right. Hopefully there will be more books and would without a doubt use them again

This is an excellent service! The illustrations were wonderful, the formatting was excellent, and everything was very professional. A very trustworthy service.

Introduction to the crew working on my book, and instantly becoming a member. A great platform providing excellent comunication. Bear with us productions more than met my expectations. From the begining to the end. I have a beautiful book and learned so much about publishing the whole works. I have so much to share on my school visits. I strongly recommend...

This was my first published book, so I really didn't know what I was doing. The team at Bear With Us Productions guided me through the process. It was very simple. The illustrations are gorgeous! I will use Bear With Us Productions for my next book too!

I really didn’t have a clue when looking for a company to work on publishing my first children’s book. Turns out I picked a great one! 🙌🏻 I have to say I was initially a bit reluctant on finding out that everything was done via an online platform, but it actually worked fine and meant I could work on the go. It actually proved a massive benefit.

The team are very responsive and super knowledgeable. My illustrator, Alice Pieroni, is unbelievably talented and fast-working, and I loved that she explained her decisions to me.

The whole process felt so important, I stressed over some decisions and was at times annoyingly indecisive. The team, however, were super understanding. There are no hidden costs with this company, everything is laid out at the start and they genuinely care about you having a great book.

The final product is beyond anything my own imagination could have conjured up. I love it.

I’ll be publishing the book this May!

Thanks Andy, Alice, Luisa, Richard and Tomasso. You’re a dream team.
