Elizabeth
An Exceptional Experience With An Exceptional Team at Atomosphere Press
After several years' disappointment with a previous self-publishing company, I found an article about Atmosphere Press, read all the information given several times over a period of a month, then decided this was a company who would take my work seriously. A few more weeks passed as I pondered the considerable investment required. Finally, I contacted the company and submitted my work. Unlike the previous company I worked with, Atmosphere presented me with a dedicated group of editors, along with an experienced publicity staff to bring me to the decision to commit myself to working with this company. Editing took several months and introduced me to a team who would scrutinize line by line what I had written and who would allow me to present my case for the way I had used a word or phrase before accepting its inclusion in the manuscript. Following this procedure, I was given the opportunity to correct any errors I found before the manuscript was passed on to the printers. I was amazed at the finished product - only a couple of items needed further correction. How impressed I was with the final product, with graphics that enhanced the appearance. Ronaldo Alves worked with me to combine elements from different samples he had provided for the eye-catching cover. Other staff members worked with me to provide reviews, a televised reading, a beautiful website which included readers' reviews as well as reviews from well-known sources, such as Kirkus. I enjoyed working with friendly, caring staff members - every one of you although names elude me at the moments. I especially enjoyed meeting Nick and Cam at the Book festival held in Kansas City earlier this year. I've made a few sales as opposed to 0 sales from my first publisher. When I submitted a notice to my Alumni newsletter, which goes to readers around the world, the editors included a picture of the beautiful cover of the book, which I'm sure will attract positive reactions from alumni. Exhausting at times, the year spent in producing THE LOST PRINCESS OF ALICANTE was well worth it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful review, Elizabeth. We’re honored to have helped bring The Lost Princess of Alicante to life. I’m especially thrilled our editorial and publicity teams supported you throughout the process, and that you were pleased with the final product – including Ronaldo’s beautiful cover design. It was a pleasure meeting you in Kansas City as well, and I look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future.
