Buyer beware before choosing this company to self-publish. Don't bank on their tenuous relationship with Simon & Schuster; it won't appear on any product Archway provides.

Everyone on the team was very thorough and always happy to help. Henjie was the best - he never let a question go unanswered!

Leadership throughout the process was very good. Quality Control at print deadline was good, made better by authors attention to detail. Don’t expect a comprehensive proofread. You are ultimately responsible for your content.

Archway Publishing has been attentive and prompt in meeting deadlines and in getting all aspects of printing and distributing the book accomplished. I am completely satisfied with my book.

There were many positive things about working with Archway Publishing: They gave me a long time to finally finish my book. Most of the time all of the people I worked with were pleasant and for the most part they were able to answer my questions. I think working with a book that has as many pictures as mine was a challenge for them and perhaps I should have researched that particular aspect of the publishing industry. I found it difficult to always visualize on the computer what the final page would look like in the finished product, for example when a new chapter was started with a title and picture, I had visualized it as being the right sided page; trying to save paper was very obvious in the final product. I know that there are many books being published and that this was a self-publishing project, however, perhaps those working on the book could have been even more helpful if they had at least skimmed the book, looking at it as a whole. Overall, it was not a bad experience and I have learned a lot, one of which is if I were to do it over again, I would perhaps look for a publisher more interested in my project as a whole and a work in art form.

They will take your money and do no work, then lie about it.

The staff at Archway Publishing were accommodating and proactive. They answered my questions, returned my calls in a timely manner and were instrumental in ensuring the editing process went smoothly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to publish their book.

Archway has great people to take care of us, the writers. They would get back to me in a timely manner and would answer my calls promptly. The book quality was excellent. The marketing department, on the other hand, and the options offered are kind of expensive, which made me think of the limitations of self publishing. I purchased the least expensive package, which translates to almost nothing, so wish me luck! Happy with my book!!
