I am sure that you have an untold number of people who sing praises for Troy Book Makers. Happily I will stand with them in that queue.
"TBM has orchestrated and printed two books for me.The process for both books was thoughtful, professional, friendly and helpful on the part of both of the TBM women who worked with me. The challenges I brought to the table were, I think, small in comparison to what I imagine your staff encounters on a daily basis. I can’t imagine the patience/hand holding/corralling that goes into dealing with so many tender authors…So, hats off to you and the stunning work that you do, but especially for the professionalism that doesn’t falter from the first inquiry to holding the book in hand."

Thanks to TBM, my first book, Spandex & Black Boots, essays from an abundant life, has been a success and something I am proud of! I look forward to publishing my next book with TBM.

...You guys should know that writers who pick up the book, fan through it, fondle it, say whoever did this did it well. Everyone at TBM should be proud. I am.

Melissa Weiksnar

In August 2011, I visited TBM, held one of their books in my hands, and said to myself "someday, this will be my book." And less than a year later, it was. Then again in 2014. And 2020. And I couldn't have done it - and stayed sane - without the steady guidance of TBM. I've known people who had horrific publishing experiences with big online outfits, and really wanted a personal guide, and I cannot say enough good things about how they worked with me. From the initial concept to the finished products, they were with me every step of the way, de-mystifying and de-stressing the process as professionals who know and adapt to their industry. Their expertise in design, ISBNs, publishing processes, etc. saved me from doing the research that I really didn't want to do (and still might get wrong) so I know I saved time and money (and aggravation) in the long run. A plus for me is that they're women-owned and operated, in a downtown that's trying to make a comeback, so everything aligns!
