Archway PublishingReviews of archwaypublishing.com

Archway gave me invaluable support in navigating the publishing world the first time around. Their staff was always helpful, positive, and encouraging. Their editors, artists, and designers helped me create a book that looks beautiful and conveys the exact message I wanted and clearly in my own voice. I could not be more pleased!

I can't stop admiring the books Both the soft and hard covers are perfectly done.

Archway is a mover and shaker publishing company. They pulled the best out of my heart. Everyone was so kind and helpful.

I am pleased with my book! The people helping me a long the way were extremely professional. I sometimes felt like there wasn't a ton of personal interest except with the guy that wanted to do my marketing.

Very professional, responsive, quick and supportive! Every step of the process was outstanding!

I do not wish to be too harsh but I felt that for months, the inter-action was "pulling teeth." in fact I was ready to ask for my material back. Now that we are in print, it is my MBA International Marketing son who has organized ideas and has given me the most help for marketing. It seems as if the staff is basically young and inexperienced. Mr. De Groff and Mr. Mc Quade have been really helpful. Michael Grady has helped in my re-orders. Price wise, the book production cost we are researching and seems to be higher than the market value. Time will tell. I am normally very positive and I realize this is a first for me so will evaluate as time goes by. I always look at value for cost.

Archway has the most friendly people to work with; they are well-trained in whatever area is their area. However, their process is very cookie-cutter and they do not have any wiggle room for special needs. Also, if you are new to the publishing industry, there is no real education of what is happening and what is going to happen. They have a checklist and march through it This is not all bad, but as an entrepreneur and corporate business owner (as well as a writer) I want to know and understand the business of publishing my own book and I just haven’t gotten it. The other major complaint I have is that for my Children’s book I never was allowed to talk to the artist directly (more cookie cutter stuff). I’m sure they have a stable of graphic artists, but I had a clear idea of what I wanted to see as my illustrations and never got exactly what I wanted because I had to deal with a go-between.

They were very supportive and I'm happy I went through this publishing company.
