I found the attention to detail in the final review and editing of my manuscript to be impressive! It was not what I expected. I have been writing for a long time, and I actually learned a lot from the corrections made and explanations for the changes. I look forward to working with Rushmore Press on the completion of this project!

I am very pleased with my experience with Rushmore Press thus far. The cover design is better than I had expected. The contact I've had with staff members, especially Beth, has been very appropriate and helpful. Equally important, I have been contacted only when it has been necessary concerning the publication--no one has called me concerning a payment.

I have felt highly respected and valued as an author by Beth Oliver. She has consistently done her best to understand my queries, needs and requests, and has followed through with clarity. I feel satisfied with the outcome of working with Rushford Press, thanks to Ms. Oliver. Treat her well and observe and learn from her. She is a true credit to Rushmore.

Rushmore Press success!

Rushmore Press has given me such an exciting experience while publishing my first children’s book. My project manager Beth Oliver has been so helpful and answered all of my questions along the way. She always returned my phone calls and e-mails right away. She was very patient with the many changes I kept submitting until the book was just right. I am very pleased with this publishing company and I can’t wait to start writing a new book and do the process all over again.

Rushmore is Awesome

Rushmore did an excellent job of re-publishing my book; "Matthew And The Magical Star". They were very receptive of my needs. The promotion of the book on Amazon looks great.

My Ten Year Experience

Rushmore took my ten year experience in writing Madam Vice President (MVP) and made it worthwhile. After publication, all the independent reviewers have given MVP a five star rating. At the beginning, when I tried to reach other publishers or agents to express some interest in MVP, most did not even acknowledge my request and none showed any interest. Then Richard Shaw decided my book was a "winner" and has brought my book to fruition. Besides that, every individual at Rushmore has carried through on what they have promised. I have done my part and so has Rushmore.

Very professional!

Rushmore Press developed a cover and back for my book that was just perfect! I needed a little change in the format, and the work was turned around in 24 hours. What a great start to my next book! -Dr. Stewart

Rushmore Press has provided an…opportunity and the help I needed to reach my dreams

Rushmore Press has provided an excellent opportunity that I believe will generate the missing link in my writing career. Everything cost money right? But I have learned not every dollar spent was returned or worth the cost. Rushmore is a different breed. The biggest difference that sets Rushmore Press apart from others is the ability to help me meet my goals realistically and knowing that I didn't write my book overnight. It takes time and people working together to move a mountain. At Rushmore Press I found people who honestly care about there work and my success. This is a journey, not a race. Enjoy it!

Five star review for Rushmore Press!

My review of Rushmore Press is five star because of great communication skills and customer service to meet the ongoing demands of the authors. Perfection is demanded of every author and even though some demands can be unrealistic at times Rushmore Press never stop trying to reach the highest bar to provide author satisfaction. Thanks a million for high quality service! Author Dwayne Lopes!

Jack Was Not Your Usual Cat.....

Jack was not your usual cat. He lost one eye, requiring having his eyelids on one eye sewn together. He was born with his his other eye being very cloudy, giving him very little vision. He was essentially blind, and also had very brown fur because he was malnourished. The book cover represents him perfectly in the state in which I found him, although it took about 4 tries by the illustrators to get Jack to that point. Kudos to the illustrators, and thanks from me.

Copper turned out to be gold

Copper turned out to be gold

My experience with Rushmore for the publication of my recent book has been an extremely pleasant one.

The letter from Rushmore Publishers enquiring whether I had a manuscript ready for publication put me in a quandary. I did have a manuscript ready and was looking for a publisher preferably from the UK or the US, But frankly I had not heard of this publisher in India. Discreet enquiries revealed that none of my friends here knew about Rushmore. I contacted my friends in the US. One of them after a detailed search unearthed details about Rushmore. According to this friend, Rushmore did exist with a few publications to its credit. But this friend also warned that I should be very cautious in dealing with Rushmore. This was because, according to that friend, Rushmore has a habit of collecting the agreed stipend, have the cover page ready and then simply vanish from the scene.

Seeds of doubt also cropped in my mind because of the fact that Rushmore approved of my manuscript within a day of receiving it

Having an entrepreneurial spark in me and having a sneaking sympathy for new entrepreneurs trying to make a mark in a field with a number of already established firms, I decided to risk my neck and send you the publication stipend.
It turned out to be a case of fears turning out to be liars. A lot of time was devoted to bring out a very pleasing cover design in consultation with me. Unnecessary poking of noses by copy editors to make texts convey almost the exact opposite of what the author intended was conspicuous by its absence .The author is being made to read the printed proofs with great care twice over to ensure that the book turns out to be a well-brought out one.
It also has to be pointed out that the dealings of Rushmore with the author has been extremely polite and refined.
I, as an author, will be only too happy to recommend Rushmore to fellow authors looking for good publishers.
It is hoped that Rushmore has a good marketing team to ensure that their well-brought out products sell well too

Final Journey: A Marine's Destiny

I was very pleased with the cooperation and results to produce the book. Initially, I made some suggestions. The project was presented as a joint venture and it was handled that way. After reviewing the initial cover presentation, I made some suggestions. The response was that of a good listener and the resulting cover was excellent.
