Wonderful Experience

I have very much enjoyed working with Abigail and her team on writing and publishing my first book! They know things that I would never have thought of and it made the whole process so much less stressful. Looking forward to doing it again soon!

Amazing Experience & Exceptional Service - Highly Recommended

What an amazing experience from beginning to end with Abigail and the whole team at Authors & Co.

I'd wanted to write a book for some time, but didn't have a clue how to go about taking my concept into a professional product that would sell. And then I met Abigail at an event, and the rest has happened in the blink of an eye!

Abigail provides an exceptional and very personal service, adapting what she offers to meet your needs. Every step of the way she was there for me, promptly answering questions, offering advice and guiding me through the process.

We worked to a clear plan, always keeping each other updated, and the whole project was a seamless and enjoyable experience. If we needed to shift the plan, Abigail and her team were extremely responsive and flexible.

I never considered that writing a book would bring so many benefits to me personally and to my business. And the way Abigail goes about supporting you is a big part of that.

A truly caring, authentic and professional outfit. Thank you so much for your partnership in bringing my book to life, I'm truly grateful.

'Have It All Without Burning Out' is down as one of my proudest moments :)

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Authors & Co to anyone wanting to release a book.

Impressive service

I am super impressed with the Authors & Co team. Abigail's professionalism is outstanding. She made our collab book a dream to work on, and was incredibly supportive throughout the whole process.

Outstanding and highly professional publishing company.

I chose to get involved with Authors & Co because I had been very impressed with the excellent marketing and high quality of a previous book, The Woman I’m Becoming, and I had the pleasure of attending the launch.

Abigail and her team work extremely hard and have the ethics, professionalism, skills and knowledge to consistently achieve number one best sellers that I was looking for

The outstanding training and support I have received has exceeded my expectations and the book reaching number one in all 5 mental health categories was incredible.

I would definitely reccomend them to others and use them again.

Very Satisfied

For a beginner, like myself, I felt as though the early conversations and the facebook messages allowed me to be relax about the process of writing material for publication. I enjoyed the process and would recommend Authors & Co to any person thinking of writing for publication.

Professional and a dream to work with.

Professional and a dream to work with.
I contacted Authors and Co after completing my manuscript. I was torn between approaching agents and going after a traditional publishing deal or working with self publishing.

Instantly I was put at ease in the discovery call and realised that self publishing was the route for me given how much more control I got in the process

Abigail and her team were fabulous with creativity, listening to my ideas and making them reality.
My book got to No 1 best seller status on Amazon knocking Oprah off the top spot and has continued to impact others positively ever since.

I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Highly recommend!

I worked with Authors & Co and as part of a recent book collective.
We were supported as a team and individually from the beginning of the process right to the ends.

As a new writer I continually felt supported in a range of ways and also felt at ease to ask more question should the need arise.

With all this support, knowledge, and advice the book quickly became an Amazon Best Seller in categories of its genre and also an on the overall best sellers.

I would not hesitate to recommend Abi and Authors & Co to anyone thinking about getting a book out there. So much so I am also thinking about another book of my own with the support of Authors & Co.

Streamline from start to finish. Can’t recommend enough!

I approached Abigail with a concept to bring a unique book collaboration together that would be launched in honour of World Mental Health Day, at first I questioned if it was a good idea and whether others would be open to be a part of it. Abi was nothing but supportive, excited and could see my vision from the get go.

The entire process has been an incredible journey, we had 15 amazing authors contribute and knowing only parts of what goes on behind the scenes at Authors&Co, it’s safe to say the team make the process simple, stream like and an exciting journey to be a part of.

We reached amazon best seller in all 5 categories in the mental health section and were so proud that the book hit #77 in the top 100 on Amazon!!!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible, I highly recommend the services and I’m already in talks with Abi about series 2 coming out of the Warrior Toolkit!

I absolutely trust Authors & Co with my message....

I absolutely trust, believe and adore the ethos of Abigail, her team and the company Authors & Co.

This is the second book I have been in through A&Co. and the service I received each time was thoughtful, professional, well considered and explanatory.

Abi always gave her all, made allowances for time differences and worked to get this book to be the best it could be.

I thoroughly recommend and believe in this company - and am so grateful for our beautifully curated and professional book!

Working with authors and co was such a phenomenal experience. They are literally the epitome of going above and beyond. During a book collaboration, Abigail and her team were always able to support and guide and make the process seamless, no matter what may have been going on in the process behind the scenes. Can not recommend Authors & Co, Abigail and her team highly enough.

Courage is my Crown

I’m very sorry to be writing this, as I was really excited about the book, the concept is brilliant however the actual book turned out abysmal. It was published full of spelling mistakes, typos, grammatical errors, missing punctuation and in some areas lacking sentence structure and flow. Not one or two mistakes but hundreds of them, including on the front cover. It greatly undermines the intelligence of the writers and the target audience. I’ve subsequently pulled out of the book as I don’t want to associate myself with it. I was happy that I was rightly given a full refund (hence the two star) - however I still feel embarrassed and cringe that I promoted the book to friends and family who bought it and have now received a very poor quality book.

I think it was unprofessional that a Facebook live video was made in the group after I was hastily removed. My concerns were raised politely and formally, and most importantly my concerns were based on fact (it’s all in the book!). So I should not have been made to appear like some kind of ‘trouble maker’, spewing negativity, bringing down other women and trying to cause divisions - that’s not me.

I don’t dispute the fact that we got to best seller status on Amazon, which is an achievement. But there were 11 of us Co-Authors promoting the book to different friends and family circles - so it was inevitable. Furthermore, I’d rather have had a book that I can proudly hold up, not an embarrassing best selling book full of mistakes. The launch should have been postponed until the book was completed to a high standard.

Reply from Authors & Co

Hi Sophia, thank you for taking the time to review my company.

I do not feel it’s a fair reflection but I would hope anyone reading the rest of my reviews can make an informed judgement for themselves.

As you have rightly said, I gave you a full refund because my intentions are never to have a dissatisfied customer, particularly one who has done everything we asked.

It’s such a shame that authors and co are being held responsible for areas of the process that were affected by our processes repeatedly not being followed correctly by others. (including meeting our deadlines to reach the proof reader on time, everyone was given time to read through and make any changes and some just chose not to) However, you personally did do everything we asked and for that reason we refunded you in full within 2 minutes of your request. In fact, it was something that we willingly offered.

This has been a fantastic learning curve as a company and we thank you for bringing it to our attention.

All the best for the future,
Warm Regards
Abigail Horne

Author & Co. Uzma Pinks

Working with Abigail to bring my vision to life was an instant decision. I knew she was the right person for the job.

The team at Author and Co have been outstanding! Our book reached Number 1 & I have no words to express my gratitude. Everything was perfect! The love, care and sheer dedication to making my vision a reality was incredible. The team have not only helped myself but every co - author involved. They have been a call away for any queries or questions we had. The team completely took the pressure off us so we could focus our creativity on the book itself while they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to put our book together. I am lost for words & overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you Abigail, Lucy Crane and everyone at authors and co for making my dream come true. I wish you all the success. Your outstanding service is incredible.

Professional and extremely supportive

I thought that writing about yourself would be a difficult thing to do, but with the encouragement and support from Abi at Authors & Co once I started the words flowed. Abi guided me every step of the way making the process straight forward and elevating all of my worries along the way.
I couldn’t have done it without her help and would recommend Author & Co to anyone who is thinking about writing a book
