TITLE OF BOOK - The First of Mark's
Volumes of Mark: Quotes, Philosophy & Poetry AUTHOR - Mark Chirnside ISBN No. - 1904181287 What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
WRITERSWORLD
provided an excellent service. They were quick, efficient and
courteous, and made the entire process of publication about as easy
as could ever be expected. I only sent my book off in April 2004
and it was published less than two months later. I would certainly
use WRITERSWORLD again if I was to
write something similar in the future.
TITLE OF BOOK - Fourth Witness
AUTHOR - Kit Widdows
ISBN No. - 1-904181-333
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
From first contact with WRITERSWORLD, I received simple clear advice
and help, a great deal of patience as I found my way into a new
world for me, and very rapid results. My book was published within
a month of the first phone call, and to my entire satisfaction -
cover, text, layout and charts. There were no hidden extras, and I
continue to receive (gratis) help and advice in selling it.
TITLE OF BOOK - Sow the Wind
AUTHOR - Peggy Larken
ISBN No. - 1904181252
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
A really helpful and caring service enabling
someone who knew nothing of self publishing and print on demand
technology to publish at very reasonable cost. Something which
would not have been possible with conventional publishing.
TITLE OF BOOK - Ibrahim - Where In The Spectrum
Does He Belong?
AUTHOR - Shahidun Rahman

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD

efficient and prompt. I would recommend them to anyone. I made the
right choice choosing WRITERSWORLD to
publish my book and I have no regrets!
TITLE OF BOOK - Another Day Will Dawn
AUTHOR - A.V.S. Williams
ISBN No. - 190418104 - X
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
In one word excellent. Another Day Will Dawn was
my first novel. I tried 15 publishers but the best offer I had was
that two of them, 'would read the first three chapter's in six
months time without any promises'. I tried to self publish and
almost fell into the trap of a vanity publisher who wanted
£3,000 for 100 hard back books! I was strong enough to
prevent the snap of the trap. I was given WRITERSWORLD's website by a fellow member of
U3A. I made contact with Graham Cook. He printed a first batch of
170 books at a fair price and within 3 months I had sold the lot.
Subsequently over two years I have further consignments at a fair
price and so far with some sales in the U.S.A, New Zealand, Ireland
and France I have sold around 1,000 copies. I market sales by
addressing groups of people in various Societies. Most Societies
are always looking for Speakers. I have some sales from local book
shops, but net profit from those sales is very low. Two people in
my Writing Group are writing their first novels. As soon as they
have completed their books I have no hesitation in introducing them
to Graham Cook at WRITERSWORLD. He
will get them into print at a very fair cost as he did for me.
TITLE OF BOOK - Spells

is the mastermind behind the process, ensuring a smooth passage

more can you ask for?
TITLE OF BOOK - The Stolen Christmas
AUTHOR - June Winton
ISBN No. - 1904181384
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
self publishing can seem very daunting to the
beginner and every word of encouragement is worth its weight in
gold. That's why I would recommend WRITERSWORLD, because of the friendly and
enlightening chats with Graham Cook and the staff who helped me
along the way. Having just published, I am looking forward to
watching what happens next!
TITLE OF BOOK - From Here To There (Walking
Spain's Coast)
AUTHOR - David Jones
ISBN No. - 1904181228
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
WRITERSWORLD offers
a professional and complete service for publishing your book. The
quality of the finished product is exemplary. There is no
difference between the book you see on the shelves of Waterstones
and the copies you receive from WRITERSWORLD.
TITLE OF BOOK - Poems of the Spirit
AUTHOR - Yvonne Saunders
ISBN No. - 1904181406
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I am impressed with the friendly, honest and
efficient service that is provided. The self publishing process is
made so much easier with WRITERSWORLD-as the book cover design and
editing pre-press services are readily available. I also found the
website very honest and informative which is what gave me the
confidence to choose WRITERSWORLD.
TITLE OF BOOK - Off the Village Matt
AUTHOR - Love Maya
ISBN No. - 1904181147
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Since I began using WRITERSWORLD as my only publisher, writing
has become more and more enjoyable and gratifying for me. The
competency and professionalism of the company is immediately
evident to any client. It is a company that extends itself to offer
the best possible service. In addition, the company goes the extra
mile to get to know each client on a personal basis in order to
render the appropriate service; and during each contact the client
is treated with utter respect and dignity. I have been very
satisfied with all the services rendered to me. The man who runs
the company Graham Cook is not only charming and courteous it is
obvious from my dealings with him that he is dedicated to his
clients and his company.
TITLE OF BOOK - Dark Times and Lighter
Moments
AUTHOR - Malcolm Hulatt
ISBN No. 978-1904181217
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
The service I received from WRITERSWORLD was excellent. I particularly
liked the co-operative way we worked together to produce a book and
cover to meet my aspirations. The cover design has been widely
acclaimed and it certainly stands out on a book shop shelf. I also
wanted a specific font and layout for my poetry which we achieved
successfully with no trouble. I would certainly use WRITERSWORLD again.
TITLE OF BOOK - Tales From A Kitbag
AUTHOR - Robert James
ISBN No. - 1904181430
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
To those of us, new to the world of books and
authorship, the activity of producing books and offering them to a
reading public is a daunting task. The team at WRITERSWORLD, Graham Cook, Steve Foote and
Den Robinson have smoothed my path towards publication of my first
book. Their support has gone beyond just doing the job. Writing is
generally a lonely occupation, particularly for a first time
author. Whilst technical support, layout, proof-reading and
cover-design were essential, I have needed that extra advice about
style, quality and some comforting re-assurances which were
provided just when I needed them. I have no hesitation in taking my
next book, now half written, to WRITERSWORLD.
TITLE OF BOOK - I'm Celibate.............Get Me Out of Here!
AUTHOR - Jo Elliott
ISBN No. - 978-0956402400
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Having had my book published by traditional means, I vowed never to repeat the experience again. The frustration of your book being in someone else’s hands and them not doing right by it is unbearable. However, the feedback and reviews I received about my book were so positive I knew I had to do something about it. Book publishing has changed significantly since then, so I decided to look into self publishing and print on demand. That’s when I stumbled across WRITERSWORLD. At first the information seemed daunting, but as soon as I phoned and spoke to Graham Cook knew it was the way forward for me and my book. Graham Cook has been a huge help along the way. He’s always been available to answer my questions and he’s kept me informed every step of the way. The WRITERSWORLD system and Graham’s Cooks service is excellent and I’d recommend it to any author thinking of publishing a book, over and above traditional means. WRITERSWORLD cuts out any frustration and disappointment, and the author retains complete control of their work from the ISBN number, to marketing and promotion. My book was available on Amazon within a few weeks which is a great feeling. I’ll certainly be using WRITERSWORLD for the next one.
TITLE OF BOOK - An Inconvenient Return
AUTHOR - David Kay
ISBN No. - 190418141-4
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I found WRITERSWORLD very helpful to a first time
novelist, personal phone calls from Graham Cook have guided me
through all the difficulties in a pleasant and tactful manner.
Direct e-mail communication with all involved created a quick and
easy method of getting all my publishing needs solved. For a writer
who wants to stay a writer and not become a businessman and is not
good at dealing with people the WRITERSWORLD method is the ideal
solution.
TITLE OF BOOK - Train Doors Slamming
AUTHOR - John Pearson
ISBN No. - 1904181465
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
From my first contact with Graham Cook and to
the present day he has helped me more than I can say. As a newcomer
to having my work published the tips on his website together with
the help and advice which Graham has given me personally have
obviously been invaluable. Graham seems to work all hours,
tirelessly, for his authors. There has never been a time when he
has not answered a query, hastening the process of publishing my
work. On a general note, the standard of work which has been done
for me from its editing through to the original artwork which he
offered for the cover has, truly, excited me. I think that Train
Doors Slamming looks something to be proud of, and WRITERSWORLD deserves most of the
credit.
TITLE OF BOOK - Lean Organisations Need FAT
People - How to Grow Your Human Assets
AUTHOR - Bay Jordan
ISBN No. - 1904181511
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Unlike many other budding writers I had not
scoured the world for a publisher nor been on the edge of
desperation and despair, after innumerable rejections when I
encountered WRITERSWORLD. It was more
simply a case of a time of an idea whose time had come for, while I
find it one of life's great delights to while away the odd hour in
a bookshop, I have always wondered how many trees have been used
for books that do not sell and questioned the self-conviction
required to actually publish their books. For that reason it took
me a long time to pluck up courage to ascertain whether my message
merited that possibility. Consequently, I was delighted when,
through my business networking, I was introduced to WRITERSWORLD and discovered the concept of
print on demand. Of course this delight was multiplied infinitely
when they accepted my initial submission immediately! Nevertheless,
I cannot speak highly enough of the encouragement I have received
and the support I have been given in translating this tremulous act
of daring on my part into a reality - both practically and
emotionally. An added benefit is that it has not been a major drain
on resources I need for my business.
TITLE OF BOOK - Inspector Chris Hardie - Murder
With A Scottish Connection
AUTHOR - Thomas Trump
ISBN No. - 1904181546
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Only one word fits the service and help given to
anyone who is thinking about self publishing with WRITERSWORLD. Graham Cook, Managing
Director, Steve Foote, cover designer, and Den Robinson, editor and
book designer, all excelled. Excellent and all that the word
implies.
TITLE OF BOOK - A Book of Folk Carols
AUTHOR - Paul McDowell & Kenneth MacKinnon
ISBN No. - 190418149X
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
WRITERSWORLD's
service was excellent. Graham Cook's honest, helpful and friendly
service and advice were just what a new author needed, and he made
sure the book arrived on time. The editor guided me through all the
difficult processes of layout and getting the sheet music and
illustration attachments correct. The book itself looks and feels
splendid and I have had many complimentary comments about it. I
will certainly be using WRITERSWORLD's
service again.
TITLE OF BOOK - The Frozen Sword - 'Secret of the Veiled
Power'.
AUTHOR - Patricia K Taylor-Shipley
ISBN No - 1-904181-94-5
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
WRITERSWORLD to me
is 'Graham Cook'. Over the last year, I have personally seen the
immorality that ensconces the publishing arena. Behind many doors
in the self publishing world, dark muddy pits await the next
unsuspecting budding author. But I can say that walking through the
door towards Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD, led me, to probably one of the
most honest and reliable men I have ever had the privilege of
working with. If I had to describe him in one word it would be
‘impeccable morals’. Hey, that’s two but
who’s counting! Graham goes out of his was way to make sure
he stays in contact with the author and if there is anything he can
be doing to ensure the project is a success, he will do it. WRITERSWORLD offers authors an affordable
vehicle to self-publish, and to get their work on to the high
street. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, and their help
in editing was invaluable. My planned book project consists of five
books, and I will not hesitate in contracting to Graham for the
rest of my series.
TITLE OF BOOK - Busman's Holiday
AUTHOR - Ian Milligan
ISBN No. - 1904181694
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Busman's holiday is my first serious attempt at
writing a book. I now live in Thailand so to do anything regarding
getting a book printed let alone published from here is not easy. I
searched the internet as most people do these days, found WRITERSWORLD's address, forwarded my E-Mail
address along with my phone number and the same day received a
lengthy phone call from Graham Cook, M.D. of the same company.
Graham was so helpful and friendly that he removed immediately any
doubts or negative thoughts that I had of my impossible task about
publishing my book. At the same time as his excellent team were
working on my book Graham, through no fault of his own was going
through a difficult time and was under great pressure. However he
as far as I am concerned come through the situation with flying
colours and throughout, provided me with great service keeping me
informed at all times on the position of my book. I never expected
to get a book ready for printing at such low cost.
TITLE OF BOOK - Brass Monkeys
AUTHOR - Andrew Hatcher
ISBN No. - 1904181481
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I have been pleasantly surprised and the
attention to detail and the courtesy extended to me by all
concerned at WRITERSWORLD. I have no
hesitation in recommending WRITERSWORLD to any other author.
TITLE OF BOOK - Over The Hills and Far Away -
The Life and Times of Thomas Norris 1778 - 1858
AUTHOR - Daren Wayne Norris
ISBN No. - 1904181- 74-0
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Following sixteen years of research I decided to
write and publish my first book through WRITERSWORLD. I lacked confidence in my
writing ability for many years and never thought I'd ever be able
to complete a book that anyone would want to read. I also had no
idea how to go about publishing or marketing my work - it was all
just too much. I was confused and concerned about protecting my
work too. I looked at several publishing houses and self publishing
companies before carefully selecting WRITERSWORLD. I did this because they were
the only company I could actually discuss my detailed needs with in
person and they were very up front about what kind of service I
could expect from them. They were honest with me. I was very
particular about the quality and specification of my book and
Graham Cook was extremely helpful in terms of guidance and advice.
The company's personal touch does much to reassure the novice
author as does their high level of commitment and attention to
detail. This is not a 9:00 to 5:00 office hours only outfit, and
there have been times Graham has made himself and his staff
available during evenings and at weekends to make sure things were
done exactly as I wanted them. As I have said, my order was a tall
one with such a high specification - but I have been more than
pleased with the results. Using the services of WRITERSWORLD has been one of the best deals
I have ever done in terms of quality and value for money! Would
recommend WRITERSWORLD to any budding
author as well as those who have previously published their work
elsewhere. I would be happy to discuss this by telephone or email
with any prospective WRITERSWORLD
clients.
TITLE OF BOOK - Black Stories Beautiful
Summaries
AUTHOR - Jide Shodimu
ISBN No. - 1-904181-93-7
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Upon initial discussions with Graham Cook, I was
persuaded to utilise the services of WRITERSWORLD. It was Grahams honest and
realistic approach to WRITERSWORLD
service that persuaded me. I found the sales information guide very
user-friendly, and the editorial assistance offered significant in
the set-up of my book.
TITLE OF BOOK - Pearls of Bizdom: How to go
from Grit to Great
AUTHOR - Kate Hull Rodgers
ISBN No. - 1-904181-82-1
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I knew I wanted to self publish. I wanted
editorial control and a direct account with the printers. Also
through HumourUs I have the infrastructure to market and distribute
my book. I just had to find the best company to support me through
the labyrinth of publishing. I chose WRITERSWORLD because of it comprehensive,
one stop shop approach. They provide a service that took my writing
from a word document to a beautifully presented book. Throughout
the process I have found Graham Cook to be happy to answer all my
questions and concerns no matter how naive. He has helped me to
feel like a seasoned professional. I am now, with the help of WRITERSWORLD, able to add AUTHOR to my CV.
And that is worth celebrating!!!! Thank you, Graham.
TITLE OF BOOK - The Wire Child
AUTHOR - Lawrence Clarke
ISBN No. - 9781920783372
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I have found it very rewarding dealing with
Graham Cook. He always replies to my queries with sensible
suggestions. So far in our business arrangement, he has been honest
and forthright, and I would recommend WRITERSWORLD to anyone contemplating self
publishing as their service is prompt and the treatment friendly.

TITLE OF BOOK - Stumbling Along: A Journey with
the Master of Surprises
AUTHOR - Eiona Roberts
ISBN No. - 1-904-181-34-7
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I can describe WRITERSWORLD best in the following
paragraph: This is my first proper venture into the world of
publishing. Having looked in-depth at various publishing options
and having read 'Words to the Wise'; on the WRITERSWORLD website, I became convinced
that compared with many other publishers WRITERSWORLD has integrity at the centre of
its ethos. Having taken the plunge by contacting them with
enquiries, it was soon to be revealed that this is indeed true.
Every contact I had with WRITERSWORLD
was treated promptly and with utmost respect and courtesy.
Stumbling Along has been published in the highest professional
manner. I would hasten to use them again in a forthcoming project
and most certainly recommend WRITERSWORLD to others who aspire to write
but are hesitant to do so.
TITLE OF BOOK - A Poets Oud
AUTHOR - Wael Al-Sayegh
ISBN No. - 9948-03-272-1
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I can describe WRITERSWORLD best in the following sentence:
They are an island of morality in an industry that can be anything
but. An example of this fact is found on their website under the
section "Words to the Wise"; Its basically states that even if you
did not use the services of WRITERSWORLD you would be wise to keep the
recommend information found in that section in mind. This was the
selling point for me. It illustrated a confidence and sincerity in
what they do that I did not find anywhere else in the many
businesses I visited. After having gathered the courage to send my
book ( a step most writers only dream of but never fulfil) to WRITERSWORLD they proved every bit as
sincere as I hoped they would be. Their professionalism and follow
up could not have been better. I would whole heartedly recommend
WRITERSWORLD to any one wishing to
publish a book. I am already working on my second book and will be
assuredly using no one apart from WRITERSWORLD to get it published.
TITLE OF BOOK - Berlin - A journey in time and
place
AUTHOR - John Boyle
ISBN No. - 1-904181-76-7
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Quite simply - they offer the best deal I can
find. For example: my own account with the printers, all royalties,
cover design, editorial assistance and my own copies at cost. In
addition WRITERSWORLD provide libel
liability assistance as part of the package - not that I believe
that I am defaming anyone! As for the service: They and in
particular Graham Cook are always there for the client (Me)
providing support and helpful advice on a one to one basis; the
writers best friend.
TITLE OF BOOK - Manor Farm
AUTHOR - Alan Jones
ISBN No. - 1-904-181-34-7
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
When I finished writing my book I knew nothing
about publishing and neither did I want to know. In WRITERSWORLD I found professionalism,
dedication and diligence to a very high standard. I knew what I
wanted my book to look like, and right through the process from
copy-editing to layout, I was guided by a team committed to high
standards and attention to detail coupled with a friendly and
helpful personal service. Nothing was too much trouble for the
Managing Director, Graham Cook, who was always available with
encouraging, warm and genial words. A publishing process fraught
with dangers for the inexperienced was made into a walk in the
park. Thank you WRITERSWORLD and good
luck.
TITLE OF BOOK - Project Planet Pie
AUTHOR - Herman Meeuwissen
ISBN No. - 1904181805
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
My association with WRITERSWORLD has always been amiable and
productive, throughout the process of publishing my book, Project
Planet Pie. I can recommend the service they offer to anyone
looking for a quality publishing programme resulting in a good
quality product and optimum exposure for any well written work.
TITLE OF BOOK - Live Forever or Your Money
Back: How We Age, How We Die, & How Not To!
AUTHOR - Gary Clark
ISBN No. - 978095556960-9
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Recently, I discovered that ageing is not a natural condition, but is triggered by a mechanism not previously understood. You can find this trigger in your head and turn it off for yourself. The conclusion is as inevitable as it appears unlikely: you can live, at or below your current age, indefinitely. Outrageous? Silly? A con? That's what most people and all of the publishing industry thought, except Graham Cook, that is, who put aside his natural scepticism and helped me publish it anyway, and it's selling! I am deeply grateful to Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD. I recommend them to you. No matter how different your proposal might seem, go for it!
TITLE OF BOOK - Poetry from the Heart: An
Anthology of Christian Poems
AUTHOR - Mr Chukwuka Oyem
ISBN No. - 1-904181-85-6
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
WRITERSWORLD
offered a sincere and effective service. They were easy to get in
contact with and encouraged valuable communication during the
publication process. One unique aspect of the service is the
personal involvement of the Managing Director of WRITERSWORLD, Graham Cook, who possesses a
very heart-warming persona and genuinely provided honest and sound
advice. Many thanks for the publication and good luck with WRITERSWORLD for the future.
TITLE OF BOOK - Secrets of the Royal
Detective
AUTHOR - Don Hale, OBE
ISBN No. - 1904181473
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I want to thank WRITERSWORLD for all the painstaking work
and diligence of the layout and typesetting expert Den Robinson,
cover designer Steve Foote, and especially the WRITERSWORLD Managing Director Graham Cook,
for their continued support throughout the development of this
project. The book was completed within 6-8 weeks and was
successfully launched on schedule in the United States to great
acclaim. I feel it has a highly professional appearance and
hopefully will prove an interesting and popular read. If anyone
else is considering using a small publisher, I would certainly
recommend the services of WRITERSWORLD. The marketing and promotion
ideas I got from WRITERSWORLD for my
book was remarkable and no detail was to small for them.
TITLE OF BOOK - Tell Me Another
AUTHOR - Jack Aspinwall
ISBN No. - 1904181317
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I was not surprised at the level of service I
would get from WRITERSWORLD as that
was a foregone conclusion. What did surprise me was the quality of
my book after it had been reprinted. To think that they could take
a slightly faded paperback published in 1986 take it apart, scan it
page by page and create a new version as good as the original is
simply amazing. As in my case WRITERSWORLD were even able to amend the
front and back cover to make it current insomuch as it stated I was
a MP which I am no longer and bring the about author up to date. I
am told that this reprinted version of my book is now selling well
again on the internet and I cannot wait to get my two other books
into print again.
TITLE OF BOOK - The Parent-Teacher
AUTHOR - Sabina Bashir
ISBN No. - 1904181538
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I would like to thank the team at WRITERSWORLD for all their efforts. Things
in life never run smoothly as the unexpected can happen at any
time, but I can honestly say when working with WRITERSWORLD you will not work with a more
committed and dedicated team of people. From the very start of
contacting Graham Cook, Managing Director, I came in contact with
an approachable, yet professional team who listened to what I had
to say and really did note my opinions, which is very rare when
dealing with professionals these days. I really did enjoy working
with you all, and hope to work with you all again soon on my next
book.
TITLE OF BOOK - The Alternative
AUTHOR - G. Speke
ISBN No. - 1904181-72-4
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Invaluable. I was struggling with a good book
inside me. Every publisher I contacted did not want to know. WRITERSWORLD was the only company willing to
talk to me about my project, taking it seriously. A big worry for
me was that I had to get my book out there at a price people could
afford. Thanks to WRITERSWORLD, this
book was honestly costed- the end product cost 1/2 the amount
charged by other companies, because WRITERSWORLD does not make 50% on top of the
printed cost.
TITLE OF BOOK - Grain of the Wood
AUTHOR - Kingston - Cameron
ISBN No. - 1-904181-88-0
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
At 89 years old & having completed my first
book, I tried sending it to a few publishers, but they didn't want
to know. I began to despair of ever seeing my work in print, but
then someone mentioned self publishing to me. I knew nothing about
it & looked at a few websites for information, but I was unsure
of how to proceed. Then I came across the WRITERSWORLD site & I knew I had found
the one for me. The site gave me all the information (& more)
that I needed & was so well laid out, that I immediately phoned
& spoke to Graham Cook. Within an hour I was on my way to
having my book published. WRITERSWORLD
have been everything I hoped they would be. I have my book
published now & I couldn't be more proud when showing it to
family & friends & for it to be available to buy on the
Internet & in bookshops worldwide. All through the process, if
there was something I wasn't quite sure about Graham Cook was happy
to help me out, & very promptly too. He has been charming,
courteous & thoughtful at all times, keeping in touch regularly
& asking if there was anything he could do to help me. He could
not have done more for me & his enthusiasm & love of his
company shine through all he does. I would have no hesitation at
all in recommending WRITERSWORLD to
anyone considering self publishing. They are easily the best, most
honest & sincere company in an industry where, sadly, there are
many charlatans.
TITLE OF BOOK - Life's a Buzz
AUTHOR - Richard Plant
ISBN No. - 978-19041814-4-6
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
This was important to me. My previous experience
was not satisfying at all. I felt left out on a limb with no-one
person to whom I could turn for advice or information.
Communication lines were not cut - they were not set up in the
first place. We always talk about the tyranny of distance between
Europe and Australia. With sensible email contact and Graham Cook
himself shuffling the cards, response time and content was
excellent. The only hiccup we had was our publishing process began
in sync with Australia's white wash of England on the Ashes tour
down under in 2006. But to his credit - obviously honed after a
lifetime of cricket disappointments, Graham Cook displayed all the
traits of the British stiff upper lip and got on with the job. So
did his support staff and suppliers. It was a good job they did. My
third book to finalise the trilogy, and possibly a reprint of the
first, Life's A Ball, will be offered to WRITERSWORLD first. That alone should
stimulate Graham and his team to keep up the fine job they do, and
encourage new and frustrated authors of all genres to give 'em a
go. I hope they do.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Not only is the cover of the book initially inviting to most mechanical, civil and plant engineers engaged in earthmoving work, and the picture of a variety of heavy machines at work on a rocky construction site, but more important the contents of the book. I would conclude that during my writing of the book, I had not given a second thought to the printing and publication, it was my good fortune to come across WRITERSWORLD which relieved me of a lot of work that was totally foreign to me, and finally producing an excellent presentable book.
TITLE OF BOOK - Meeting Magic AUTHOR - Katherine Woods and Ingrid Uden ISBN No. - 978-0-9557788-0-3
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Meeting Magic is a business book, aimed at the
business manager market. We needed the book to be of a high
quality, to reflect our business brand. We chose WRITERSWORLD as they offer a trustworthy
service and give the authors control of their own books. Graham is
very knowledgeable about the publishing world and all the people we
dealt with in the process of getting the book published were
professional and helpful. Thank you WRITERSWORLD for helping us get Meeting
Magic into print.
TITLE OF BOOK - Nothing Else
Matters AUTHOR - Steve Robbins ISBN No. - 978-0-9558-1770-0
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I found WRITERSWORLD to be a very thorough and
professional organisation. Having not used a self-publisher before
I found the staff most helpful and willing to assist in every
department of the publishing of my book. All the deadlines in the
contract were met within the time scales and I must say I have
found the experience as a first-time, self published author to be
most enjoyable. Graham Cook, the owner of WRITERSWORLD, was most accommodating in
respect of any information that was required. I would highly
recommend WRITERSWORLD to anybody who
is thinking about self publishing.
TITLE OF BOOK - Memory Lanes
AUTHOR - Peter Robinson
ISBN No. - 9780955807404
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Writing a book of any type is a daunting task
once the initial enthusiasm has given way to a daily need to get
words on paper. It would be encouraging, particularly for the first
time author, if a publishing deal was already in the bag before
their book was started. However that is quite obviously not
possible and so one writes in the naive assumption that someone
will publish your book once it is finished. Of course this does
happen occasionally and there are many instances of first time
authors "hitting the big time". However they are the tip of the
iceberg and for most there is the constant rejection by publishing
houses who, most often, treat one as little more than a nuisance.
"Send us a completed and printed manuscript in our format and we
may get back to you in six months".
There comes a time when anybody will grab at a deal if they can
see their hard labour's finally in print. This is how I discovered
self publishing. Trawling through the internet I came across a
number of companies offering such deals but they all left a nagging
doubt in my mind as to what the practicality of such a deal might
be, perhaps even, that they were too good to be true. I was also
aware that at that moment I was so keen to get my book published
that I would probably have accepted any type of deal. I then came
across WRITERSWORLD. In their web
pages were descriptions of exactly what they offered put into the
context of a first time author's comprehension of the publishing
business. This and the general openness of their concept gave me a
great deal of confidence. A call to Graham Cook and the ensuing
conversation with him confirmed my initial thoughts and made me
look back at the other self publishing companies that I had
considered with a more jaundiced eye. WRITERSWORLD appears to be unique in looking
after the interests of the authors first and foremost. This did not
seem to be the case with the self-interested comments of some of
the other companies I had looked at. Now my book has gone to print
I have no hesitation in recommending WRITERSWORLD to anybody thinking of self
publishing. On each step of the way Graham has been helpful,
encouraging and courteous whilst he has arranged for me to be able
to deal directly not only with the copy editor and the design
studio (who had to make my cover the finished article!), but also
directly with the printers themselves. That has been an excellent
arrangement. However that is only half of the story. With WRITERSWORLD I own the ISBN numbers and I
have complete control over the way in which I wish the book to be
sold as well as all aspects of pricing.
When I write my next book I only hope that Graham allows me to
do it again with WRITERSWORLD
TITLE OF BOOK - The White Witch series
AUTHOR - Tracey Rolfe
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
What I knew and understood about the
publishing world you could write on the back of a postage
stamp. The following is a not very subtle breakdown of my very
frustrating situation four years ago: (1) print and collate three
chapters of manuscript, with covering letter; (2) send out
manuscript to agent; (3) wait with bated breath; (4) manuscript
returned; (5) exhale at length and bang fists on table. I have a
wonderful collection of rejections which I keep to remind myself of
the bad times, a personal diary of my roller-coaster journey, of
soul-destroying rejection and disappointment. I consoled myself
knowing that there were thousands of authors out there, just like
me, waiting nervously for the golden seal of approval. But that was
the past.
My position to date, five years down that long
and winding road, is one of great success, success that comes from
hard work, sheer determination and self-belief. However, I also
made a telephone call that changed my life. That call was to Graham
Cook at www.writersworld.co.uk OK, I gave
in to something I said 'never' to, "self-publish." But let me tell
you, it was the best decision I ever made. My childrens' books,
'The White Witch of Spiton and the Serpent of Anata', ISBN
978-0-9557020-0-6 and 'The White Witch of Spiton and the Book of
Dreams', ISBN 978-0-9557020-1-3 for age group 9 to12 years, is now
available to buy at worldwide websites, at local bookshops, and
off-the-shelf at over one hundred Waterstone's book shops, here in
the United Kingdom and in the Republic of Ireland. I am currently
touring the country, book-signing at Waterstone's stores and loving
every minute of it. The series of books is selling extremely well
and, to my surprise, I have a new audience - adults. Yes, adults
are buying my books as well!
So would I recommend self publishing? Yes, and
with WRITERSWORLD absolutely.
TITLE OF BOOK - Three Months in Nepal: A story
of travel teaching and child labour
AUTHOR - Hazel Roy
ISBN No. - 9780955945106
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
It was a friend who pointed me in the direction
of WRITERSWORLD for help in getting a
book which had been germinating for far too long, out of the
cupboard and onto the page. I was attracted to the web site and in
particular the professional and beautifully designed book covers
and I thought the book would be in safe hands with the company.
There has been a fair bit learned in the
process, largely that I should have handed over the whole
production to the company, instead of trying to get the type
setting done closer to home, causing a fair bit of delay and stress
within the family, which I regret, although the resulting book
cover and layout which is the work of my designer son is my pride
and joy. In taking what turned out to be a particularly complicated
route, WRITERSWORLD acted in a far
from commercial manner towards me instead they treated me more like
supportive and reliable friends.
In particular I must pick out my editor Sue
Croft for special mention, who worked tirelessly into the small
hours to get the first draft of the book out to a very tight
schedule. She gets my vote every time for her professionalism
accuracy and determination to get the editing just right, which
vastly exceeded my expectations. Nothing was too much trouble. If I
ever go down this road again I would hope to do so with Sue or
someone just like her.
Graham Cook handled all queries and problems
with good humour and patience and helped me throughout to keep
things in perspective and work through the difficulties. It took
some time before I could get from the printers exactly what I hoped
(no one should under-estimate the work to be done after the author
writes 'the end' on the bottom of a manuscript) but the final
result is a good looking professionally produced book I feel proud
to call mine. Having the book on Amazon and other web sites is also
a tremendous marketing boost to a new author. I would like to think
that author signing tours will also be possible in the near future.
Thank you WRITERSWORLD for making it
all possible.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
In writing I should like to pay tribute to you
for your enterprise in setting-up WRITERSWORLD
It is a marvelous example of how one man, can be capable-not only
of seeing the need for a way of by-passing the extremely
frustrating attempt by many authors to ' find' a Publisher-but
thinking through and devising a method by which so many of us could
have the satisfaction of seeing our work professionally produced
and on-the-market.
As you remember, a copy of your Company's fully descriptive
publication 'PUBLISH YOUR BOOK' reached me from the Institution of
Engineering Technology of which I am a Life Member.
Following through your system, my much larger book 'LITTLEBROOK' is
well on the way through with the great help of Sue Croft and
Charles Leveroni. Already the standard of the work is highly
professional.
Many thanks Graham for your tireless work and organisational
skill.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
As the instigator of this republishing I have
been very pleased with the service provided by WRITERSWORLD. They have been helpful in
guiding me through the process and it is now reassuring that this
book is available on a one-off basis to the many people who have
seen the limited first printing and wanted to purchase their own
copy. Considering the process that went into the reprinting the
quality is extremely good and I have recommended not only this, but
the full printing to several of my writer friends.
TITLE OF BOOK - Love and Other
Distractions
AUTHOR - Maurice Spillane
ISBN No. - 1904181589
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I self published my previous books and sold a
few hundred of each, so I was comfortable about the process.
However, WRITERSWORLD opened up
opportunities that I did not expect: Amazon, distributors in the UK
and USA, and royalties for goodness sake! I expected a reasonable
service and was caught unawares with an excellent service. I am so
excited about the cover design for the cover; the copy editor
lifted the text and the presentation and genuinely surprised me,
and their Managing Director Graham Cook was continuously attentive.
The company oozes integrity and honesty. I simply don't understand
how they give such a brilliant service and still make money, but I
hope they continue to do so for a very long time!
TITLE OF BOOK - Gentleness
AUTHOR - Aidan Duff
ISBN No. - 1904181619
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I have never worked with an organisation before
WRITERSWORLD came along that has
allowed me to experience such decent and friendly folk. Not only
are they all committed to high standards and have a mastery of
their skills, but also each person I dealt with added the extra
dimension of being able to make me feel valued as a human being. I
enjoyed my initial chat with Graham Cook, who made me feel
“at home" with the values of WRITERSWORLD, then I worked with Laurence
and Steve, both of whom understood what I was trying to achieve
with “Gentleness" and produced, respectively, an effective
and perceptive proof-read and a staggeringly powerful cover design.
Finally I had the pleasure of working with Theresa who, with quiet
consideration formatted the pages in consultation with me.
Thank you team. You are a credit to WRITERSWORLD. I'm sure we will soon be
hearing that WRITERSWORLD is the
leading exponent of publish-on-demand books.
TITLE OF BOOK - Understanding...keeping the

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I have never published a book and WRITERSWORLD made it very easy for me. As an
international consultant I didn't have the time to understand the
process and wanted an organisation to help me deliver the book.
WRITERSWORLD provided excellent email
communication, often responding within thirty minutes. They have
provided me with advice and guidance on the whole process and took
time to understand my individual requirements. Self publishing can
seem complicated but I now feel like a publisher and I thank WRITERSWORLD helping me through the
journey.
TITLE OF BOOK - Ticklemice: A story for

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Like many others who have come to WRITERSWORLD for help in publishing their
work, I was a complete novice and unprepared for the business side
of the world of literature. I can honestly say that without WRITERSWORLD and their managing director
Graham Cook, I would have been at a complete loss. Graham has made
the experience much easier and more enjoyable than it would have
been, and has been the fulcrum and focus for all the activities
associated with self publishing my book. Graham thanks for all your
patience and efforts, it's been a pleasure!

knew in an instant that I would end up with an excellent published
book. His warm and caring personality made me feel totally at ease.
I always felt I had input into my work from beginning to end.
Nothing was too much to ask. He was always at the end of the phone
to help and listen and has tirelessly worked all hours on my
behalf. Whenever I meet authors who want to pursue the idea of
publishing their own work, I do not hesitate to highly recommending
Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD Thank you
for all your dedication and guidance, Graham and for helping a
struggling author such as myself to achieve their ultimate
dream.

cost, too.

It was my first experience with publishing a
book. Graham Cook, the Managing Director, and his team guided me
through every step of the publishing process. The book is beautiful
and I am pleased. I commend WRITERSWORLD for entering information about
the book into the databases of distributors in UK, and Amazon, and
the established procedures for the eventual payment of royalties. I
recommend WRITERSWORLD to anyone who

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Whilst looking around for some help with
publishing my book I was lucky enough to come across the website
for WRITERSWORLD. From my first
contact with Graham Cook it was clear that he is a true
professional and has a passion for his business. All throughout the
book publishing process I have greatly appreciated his support, he
has been readily available when I needed to contact him and he has
taken great effort to make the publishing process as easy and
profitable as possible for myself, whilst helping me avoid the many
pitfalls that a novice writer can experience when dealing with the
publishing industry for the first time. Together with Richard
Sexton (Copy-Editor) we have been able to produce something that I
am pleased to be able to put my name to. It is pleasing and a
relief in these strange times to find a company with some moral
integrity.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
The overall service I have received from WRITERSWORLD has been first class in every respect. Graham Cook has surrounded himself with a team of professionals who go out of their way to accommodate the author. My every query was dealt with understandingly, with the utmost courtesy and most of all as a novice author, I was treated with both respect and dignity. The book "A Sailor's Tales" is an autobiography tracing the twists and turns in the life and adventures of a Master Mariner, ship's captain and harbour pilot - one of the few people that actually lived his boyhood dreams.
TITLE OF BOOK - HEALTHY-EASY-YUMMY Greek Food by Anastasia
AUTHOR - Anastasia Vasileiou
ISBN No. - 978-0-9562905-0-2
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Writing my book was easy, but opening all these doors that would make this pile of papers an actual-real book was a "headache". When I decided to go for self-publishing, I contacted a few companies. However with WRITERSWORLD it was "love at first sight". I had a lovely, friendly and very supportive team that worked with me and guided me from the very beginning till the end, as at the end of the day it is the people that count, and what we get from being able to work together. My journey was a real pleasure and I want to thank Graham Cook, Sue Croft my copy editor and Charles Leveroni my book cover designer and of course WRITERSWORLD for becoming part of this journey with me!!!
TITLE OF BOOK - Of Sluices and Sisters Anecdotes of Student Nurses at a London Teaching Hospital
AUTHOR - Alison Collin
ISBN No. - 978-0-9562938-0-0
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Luck was certainly on my side when I came across WRITERSWORLD. Seconds after I had pressed the send button initiating my enquiry, Graham Cook was introducing himself by telephone and after speaking with him I felt sure that I was entrusting the production of my book, "Of Sluices and Sisters" to someone who really knows their way around the publishing world. What a remarkable experience it has turned out to be! The comprehensive website section "Publish your book" is so clearly written that it is a joy to read, and very easy to follow, even for a first time author with absolutely no prior knowledge of such things. Brian Stanton was my copy editor, and was so upbeat and positive, and encouraging about the book that I could hardly wait to get his emails each week as he reviewed the chapters. Charles Leveroni my designated book cover designer immediately grasped the concept of my idea for the cover, and the result of his design – both striking and witty – is beyond anything that I had hoped for. Indeed I found all those that I worked with very responsive, patient, interested in the project, and they certainly went the extra mile to produce a book of amazing quality. I cannot thank them enough! Previously I had enquired at some other publishing houses whose pompous sounding responses suggested that they felt they would be doing me a great favour considering my work for exorbitant fees, which would have meant that the book would have gone unpublished. What a lucky escape!

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
So many of us feel there is a book in us, and many get as far as placing a finished manuscript in the bottom drawer. Then, if we find the courage to set scripts to the world, we find ourselves blocked by a million problems.
The modern world of publishing-on-demand, represented so well by WRITERSWORLD, has given me the inspiration and the opportunity to see my work in print, through their protective gates.
Don't give up hope without being wise enough to at least talk to WRITERSWORLD. I wish I had considered their first rate service three frustrated years earlier.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Have you written a book that deserves to be published? If so, you have probably sent it to numerous publishers already but received many rejection slips.If you are not already a published author nor a celebrity it is very unlikely that your work will be accepted. In these credit crunch times publishers are unwilling to take any risks. It's hurtful, isn't it? It's frustrating when you know you have written something worthwhile and you're not given a chance. I know how you feel because it's happened to me. Happily, nowadays, there is another route. You can engage the services of a professional publishing team, headed by Graham Cook of WRITERSWORLD. On the recommendation of an author at her book signing, this is what I decided to do and what a brilliant decision it turned out to be! Graham Cook's company is small and he has the personal touch. Graham is approachable and accessible so I was able to contact him directly whenever I had a query. He appointed a team of experts to help me, including a copy editor, book cover designer and website designer, all of whom became very involved with my book, wanting to do their best for me. I was delighted with final result - a beautifully produced book. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Graham and his team. They have made the process of publishing fun,as well as an interesting experience and helped me to realize my dream. Thank you. This is a better route than the traditional one as I retain the control of my project and I own the copyright. I can wholeheartedly recommend Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD to potential authors who have high standards and want the best publisher for their work.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
For a number of years, people told me to empty my head and write a book. Having finally done so, I became aware that the writing was the easy bit. Getting it out there was much more of a challenge. I finally found a literary agent and left things with him for a period and suffice to say, nothing happened. So as I became more and more frustrated, I decided to seek an alternative route to market for my finely crafted manuscript. After some considerable Googling, I came across WRITERSWORLD, and in particular a marvellous gentleman named Graham Cook. Combined with the WRITERSWORLD website and Graham Cook's knowledge and expertise, I decided that this was to route to go; and boy am I glad I did. Without exaggeration, I don’t know how anyone could publish a book without the breadth and depth of knowledge that Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD. Suffice to say, my book is now in hardback, paperback and as an e-book. It is available from all good bookshops and on Amazon. What’s more, the entire process from manuscript to Amazon ranking took just a few weeks. If anyone wants to publish a book, look no further than WRITERSWORLD
TITLE OF BOOK - Clay Target Shooting for Beginners and Enthusiasts
AUTHOR - John King
ISBN No. - 978-0-9563461-0-0
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
A few months ago I decided to pursue the self publishing route for my second book, the first one was produced by a main stream publisher, and other publishers wanted to take on my current one. I however did not relish the inevitable loss of control; and definitely was not enamored by the prospect of the miserable financial returns offered by main stream publishing. Within hours of beginning my on line research into self publishing; I found myself entering into a minefield of confusing information. Continuing my research during the next few days, the minefield seemed to grow into murkier and muddier waters: Then luckily ! Eureka ! I was hugely relieved to find myself in safe waters, where Graham Cook the founding owner of WRITERSWORLD had spent 8 years creating a totally clear ' swept channel '. What a relief , and what a joy to have Graham and his super crew at the helm : they are truly the friendly professionals to whom nothing is too much trouble, and daily contact is the norm: I am thrilled with my recent WRITERSWORLD published book which is of the highest quality; and will soon be jumping aboard again with my next book.
TITLE OF BOOK - A Drop in the Ocean
AUTHOR - Geoff Pettit
ISBN No. - 978-0-9562984-0-9 and 978-0-9562984-1-6
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
It’s one thing writing a book but something quite different getting it published. It didn’t take me long to find out that self-publishing was the way to go but there were so many options available and so many pitfalls to consider that I almost gave up, or even worse almost stumbled into something which could have had serious consequences further down the road. I was especially concerned about owning my own product and getting value for money as my book was both in colour and quite long. After evaluating a dozen or so self-publishing organisations I decided that WRITERSWORLD were the only ones talking my language. With them I would be my own publisher and therefore own the ISBN numbers allocated to me. I would own the final PDF files, including front and back cover and photographs. I would have my own dedicated editing and design consultants and not least the cost of printing would be based on a mixture of black and white and colour rather than pure colour, bringing down the production cost of the book to less than a third of what some others were offering. On top of that I would also be receiving a large number of copies myself at no extra charge. After a long telephone conversation with Graham Cook, the proprietor of WRITERSWORLD , I knew that I had made the right choice. He understood exactly where I was coming from and I felt immediately that WRITERSWORLD were most interested in helping me and less interested in exploiting me. Now that my book is finished I think that even my high expectations have been exceeded and can, without reservation, recommend Graham Cook and his team to anyone who is wrestling with the same issues I had when I started.

I am as very pleased with my second book entrusted to WRITERSWORLD as I was with my first and for any writer with the confidence to really see their work in print WRITERSWORLD have all the professional help one could need, ensuring that you are soon the proud publisher of a first class product. Whether a first time author with no expectation of every becoming a commercial success or a well established author with a stable of best sellers, one can do far worse than look to WRITERSWORLD for the next project. I am the first to admit that my books, so far, are never going to exactly make me a fortune, and it might even be many years before I can say that my costs have been covered, but I feel fulfilled and immensely proud of what WRITERSWORLD have helped me achieve. For the author with a commercial product WRITERSWORLD holds no bounds. To see a quality product just look up one of my titles, Alexander the Great of which the ISBN number is 978-0-9562937-0-1, or Esther and Athaliah, and even if the content is of no interest to you, marvel at the pure quality of the product. WRITERSWORLD is a seriously great business that can do you a huge amount of good.

Thinking of self-publishing? An approach to WRITERSWORLD and a meeting with Graham Cook, its Director, will ensure you a sympathetic and professional introduction to what’s involved and trustworthy, personal guidance through the whole process. My book required the particularly patient, skilful and sensitive editing provided by Brian Stanton and the imaginatively artistic cover design of Charles Leveroni. WRITERSWORLD produced for me a high class book, technically proficient and aesthetically pleasing on good quality paper. All this at a customer friendly price. Graham Cook and his team are to be congratulated. Still thinking of self-publishing? Here's the solution: arrange an appointment with Graham Cook at once.
TITLE OF BOOK - Orla's Gift
AUTHOR - Michelle Armson
ISBN No. - 978-0-9563593-0-8
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
After spending six years writing my novel and a further two years letting it fester on my hard-drive, I decided it should be published. Knowing that to find a conventional publisher is a non-starter for the unknown writer, I decided to go it alone. However, I wanted a polished product I could be proud of – which meant I wanted my work to be edited professionally, with a proper front cover. Having trawled the internet for the best deals, I came across WRITERSWORLD. Heartened by our telephone conversation, I made the decision to forego my annual ski trip and make use of their expertise. So, despite leaving my children aching for the snowy slopes of the Alps, I have a professionally produced novel, with a great front cover, free from embarrassing plot anomalies and typographical errors. It was great to have my own editor, cover designer and Graham Cook at the end of the telephone on the numerous occasions I required their expertise. In short, this was not a cheap option and I recommend that you read the PDF files very carefully. However, ultimately I have a book I am proud of and have no regrets about using this service. By my calculations, if I sell all my complimentary copies and a further 300 books, I can book next year’s ski holiday.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
If you can cope with a few ups and downs there is a lot to be said for WRITERSWORLD my novel "The Language of Silence" looks wonderfull: it has been professionally produced on high quality paper, the cover is eye-catching, and the copy editor spent as much time as it took to sort out the knots in my script and the inevitable crises. Graham Cook has ensured my book is on all the relevant lists, so I don't have to worry, as can happen with self-publication, about distribution.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
We published our first book through a large publishing house, but were very disappointed with certain aspects of the experience. We felt very let down with how the book was handled, but we received so much positive feedback about the book that we wanted to write another one. We looked on-line, and came across WRITERSWORLD. Reading through the information we realised that this company really knows what its doing. It felt like a big leap to publish independently, but from our very first meeting with Graham Cook we knew we were doing the right thing. What mattered most to us was to be able to retain control over the process, and we were delighted to realise that we would have the final say in everything from the cover to the font to the content. We immediately felt confident to proceed.
There was one slight issue, however, and that was the timescale - we wanted to get the book out before Christmas, but we met Graham Cook in mid October, when we were at the stage of having a draft manuscript. He wasn't fazed, however, and with incredible dedication from him and his excellent team of editors and cover designers, we had the books in our hands by the 16th December. It's hard to imagine anyone else, certainly not a big publishing house, meeting such a tight deadline, and throughout the process we received outstanding support from Graham Cook and his team. The editor he chose for us to work with was very well suited to the subject matter and skilled. Graham Cook was always available on the end of the phone, seven days a week, in contact almost daily, and reassuring at every stage. He is an outstandingly polite individual. To anyone who is thinking about self-publishing, I would recommend they go to WRITERSWORLD, although I'm sure Graham Cook would appreciate a longer run in to the deadline! There are such horror stories around about other companies, but you'll be safe, and retain full ownership of your work, with WRITERSWORLD.
We are delighted with our book, we think it looks fantastic, and as one person said "ooh, it looks like a proper book!" I think she was thinking it would look like a pamphlet, but in fact with the high quality paper it looks much better than anything you buy in the book shops these days.
TITLE OF BOOK - THE GREAT SHIFT

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
It was my desire to publish my own book but had no understanding as to achieving this. My first choice was the Internet and WRITERSWORLD came into view. I was impressed with the initial impact and professionalism that I perceived. I studied the contents of the web page of WRITERSWORLD and immediately became aware that the level of openness and honesty was remarkable. I decided to download the ‘Publish Your Book’ Specification to familiarize myself with the content and I became very impressed with detail of the specification that formed that basis of the contract that would follow. I made phone contact with WRITERSWORLD and a meeting was arranged between me and the owner of WRITERSWORLD, Graham Cook. At this meeting, in the Cotswolds, I had the opportunity to meet the person who would be pivotal in guiding me through the publishing process. The moral integrity and honesty of Graham Cook was immediately perceived during the discussion that followed and this confirmed my perceptions of what Writersworld was all about.
During the publishing process I come in contact with other professionals, such as the editor Brian Stanton and the cover designer Jem Butcher. As a team they would finally accomplish to deliver the final product of a well presented book text and beautiful cover design for which I have received many commendations and much praise. The effort expanded by Brian Stanton in the editing process is nothing short of marvellous and caused me to be extremely happy, I was impressed. I must acknowledge that Brian has contributed much to the success. Apart from this, Jem Butcher also amazed me by his unique ability to create a cover design that was indeed beautiful, thought provoking and impressive. Finally I want to thank Graham Cook, of WRITERSWORLD, for his professional management style of the whole publishing process. His exacting approach to communicating regularly and keeping me informed was most impressive and I am delighted to consider WRITERSWORLD for any future books that are to be produced. This was a great team effort, an experience that caused me great delight and much pleasure.
TITLE OF BOOK - Suitors and Wasps
AUTHOR - Richard Bunning
ISBN No. - 978-0-9562937-2-5
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Suitors and Wasps is the third book that I have entrusted to the brilliant WRITERSWORLD system, and I am planning to stay with WRITERSWORLD as I return to my primary interest, writing speculative science fiction adventures. It is great to be part of a team I can really trust in the chaotic world of publishing we all now suffer from. Unless one is touched by fame, or already well established one has about as much chance of getting into print through the traditional channels as of swimming without the benefit of buoyancy aids, east to west, around the Horn of Africa. WRITERSWORLD helps writers like me create beautifully produced books that stand above comparison with any published anywhere. A well written book, well presented is a vital step, providing grist to the mill of success. Without a product the greatest of scripts remain as little more than hot air wafting under the disinterested noses of a risk adverse and increasingly dysfunctional publishing industry.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
When I started on my great journey to publish my book I went to Google and asked " Find me the best self publisher " and up came WRITERSWORLD. Well after completing the publication of my book I can say they are the best, also in my journey I found the perfect navigator in Graham Cook whose patience and understanding of an old grumpy man was to be applauded. Without Graham Cook's help and the rest of his team I do know how I would have got on I would certainly recommended WRITERSWORLD to all and sundry.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
To anyone who is considering going the ‘self publishing’ route, WRITERSWORLD are the answer. I have had experience with other self publishers, none of whom have provided as full and as helpful a service as Graham Cook of WRITERSWORLD
I was listening to a program on BBC Radio 4 on self publishing where one of the questions asked was. ‘Do self publishers help with editing and graphics?’ The answer was ‘No, it is all up to you, but you control all rights and profits from sales .” That is not the case with WRITERSWORLD. Graham Cook has a team who provide excellent editing and graphics service whilst great attention is paid to quality. WRITERSWORLD handle all aspects of production – ISBN numbers, listing on Amazon and distribution through the wholesalers Gardners. The author retains all rights. Graham Cook and his team could not have been more patient and helpful, especially with my aunt’s delightful little book ‘The History of the Shih Tzu.’ Which is full of sketches, photographs and impossible foreign names. (Written by Jennifer Murray who published the book on behalf of the now deceased authors.)

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
As a first time author I was at a loss to find the best way to publish my book, and tried contacting well known agencies in the Internet. I did not find any to my satisfaction until I came across WRITERSWORLD website by chance. I needed to have my book published before a deadline and WRITERSWORLD not only accepted my challenge but also made it within a matter of three weeks including book cover, retouching old photos, and copy editing. I am happy to say that the finished product was to my entire satisfaction. I am also happy to mention that it was only possible entirely due to the personal devotion to every detail by Graham Cook, with whom I had the pleasure to meet as well, and his team of specialists.
TITLE OF BOOK - Out of Bounds
AUTHOR - David C Robertson
ISBN No. - 978-0-9565270-0-4
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
When I first contacted WRITERSWORLD I had three main goals. Firstly I wanted to get my book ‘Out of Bounds’ published, secondly I wanted it produced to a high standard, and thirdly I wanted to know precisely how much it would cost. My previous experience of publishing had convinced me that new writers have little, if any, chance of having their carefully produced work even read, let alone published. Indeed, I suspect the current economic climate makes it very difficult for even established authors to secure publishing deals. WRITERSWORLD self-publishing offers a reliable, efficient and cost-effective way to get your book into print.
Graham Cook was in touch with me on a regular basis, ensuring that the publishing process was kept on track. The detailed guidelines on how to publish your book, along with two helpful and easy to follow flowcharts, proved extremely valuable. I worked with my copy editor, Jeremy Renals, to ensure the book was produced to the highest standards and the book cover designer, Charles Leveroni, developed my visual ideas into an arresting, and exciting, book cover well suited to a children’s adventure story. In short, I am delighted with the final results. I have learned a great deal about the publishing process and I would like to thank Graham Cook, and the rest of the team, for helping to turn my novel into a reality.

TITLE OF BOOK - Why does my dog do that? Because its a dog!
AUTHOR - Caroline Spencer and Robin Glover
ISBN No. - 978-0-9567639-0-7
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
We were asked by colleagues and clients to write a book to explain in a reader friendly way the principles of, and a guide to, PURE Dog Listening. Well we set to and after numerous additions, amendments and extraction's we completed the task.....or so we thought. If you think writing a book is hard just wait until you try and get it into a form that can be accessed by your hoped for readership. Unless you are a known writer or 'celebrity' you have more chance of winning the lottery than being picked up by a mainstream publisher and promoted as the next JK Rowling or Bill Bryson. That was a lesson we learned very quickly, so that left us with two options, either put the manuscript at the back of a cupboard and dream of what might have been or, self publish. We didn't have a spare cupboard and so went for the second option. Once again we had to make big decisions, there are many people out there on both sides of the Atlantic very keen to take your money and offer you the earth. Many are blatant 'vanity publishers' who would happily turn a weekly shopping list into a book and tell you that you'll make a fortune from it. Caroline has a Nursing and I have a Police background, we are both well used to research and investigation so that's we did. Whenever we found a company that 'ticked all the boxes' in a given area the name WRITERSWORLD appeared. We rapidly became convinced that WRITERSWORLD were the people to go with and we've been proved right. From our first contact with Graham Cook who heads the company to seeing the finished article on sale has been a hugely enjoyable experience. You can, if you wish, meet with Graham at the start of the process to discuss everything in depth. No matter how small or large your question is he'll give you a full answer. He'll also buy you a very fine breakfast. A piece of advice here, Graham will offer you an extra sausage. Accept, I didn't and have regretted it ever since, they were magnificent. Once you've met Graham and agreed on the way forward then other members of his team come into play. We are particularly indebted to Brian Stanton for his editing skills and amazing patience in dealing with not one but two novice writers. Also to Charles Leveroni for designing the cover. What can we say about WRITERSWORLD? Probably the most important thing is that they have delivered everything that they promised. They have always responded promptly to any inquiry in a positive manner and they have produced a book for us that is selling exceptionally well, due in no small part to the marketing advice they gave us. Would we use WRITERSWORLD again? Due to the success of our book they are already in the process of producing it in ebook form for us. We also intend to write a second book relating to PURE Dog Listening and unless we meet Ms Rowling or Bill Bryson down the pub and they take us under their wing, we'll be with WRITERSWORLD again.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
It was a minefield for me when it came to seeking out the best way to self publish and so I did what I expect most people do, I trawled the Internet. I phoned one London-based print-on-demand book publishing company and yes, they seemed helpful at first. But at a later stage they had not completed the task and I felt no real interest was forthcoming from them with little explanation as to what they would do for me in regards to publishing my book. The prices they had quoted seemed ok, but due to the lack of response from the other company I then hit upon WRITERSWORLD and spoke directly on the phone to its owner/founder Graham Cook, I liked what I heard instantly.
I liked Graham Cook's direct, no-nonsense approach and his guidance throughout was beyond the call of duty and in my view he wasn't making some huge personal profit from this involvement – the process was on its way. I signed with him immediately. I read through the WRITERSWORLD "Publish Your Book" PDF file and anything I couldn't or didn't understand was made clear to me with no hidden agendas with WRITERSWORLD. A meeting took place in mid-November 2010 and by the end of February 2011 the books (both hardback and paperback versions of the highest possible quality) were available for purchase by the public via the Waterstones, WH Smiths and Amazon websites and many more websites. My contacting WRITERSWORLD as to publishing my book was the best thing I could have done, as without them I don't think I would have pursued this venture and certainly could not have wished for a better service.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I entered the world of publishing with little knowledge. With the help of WRITERSWORLD my book which I had in mind became a reality. WRITERSWORLD were kind enough to give advice to get the book in hardcover which I hesitated about however it makes a big difference to look and feel and I am happy I listened. I am grateful and thank WRITERSWORLD for getting my book distributed to all major book stores.
TITLE OF BOOK - Another Space in Time
AUTHOR - Richard Bunning
ISBN No. - 978-09562937-3-2
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I have written four books, and now I am working on a fifth, all under the umbrella of WRITERSWORLD. It is hard to say what this says about me, but it says a great deal about my confidence in “self-publishing” through WRITERSWORLD. Their system, which continues to represent extraordinary good value, has made the impossible possible for so many interesting writers who have been shut out of the traditional publishing industry, or who simply prefer a more independent approach. There is little more rewarding in life than seeing one’s efforts bear fruit, and this is particularly true when it comes to producing a book. There is only one greater joy, and that is in selling the fruits of one’s labour. On this score one has to be realistic. Nowadays, book sales have far more to do with already-accrued fame than with the quality of writing. Everyone has to build their own path to success.
If one likes reading, why not take a risk on one of the books that WRITERSWORLD have published, on a range of subjects as diverse as the collective pool of authors. These exceptionally high quality books are available through Amazon, through all good retailers, (in some cases off the shelves, but always within a few days of ordering), and increasingly through a diverse range of electronic book formats. If one has ever enjoyed speculative science, mild sci-fi, and everyman philosophic conjecture built around a police chase and terrorism, one might just enjoy my latest book “Another Space in Time”. Or for example, if one rather prefers to read classic French plays in modern English, and is equally interested in strong female roles in biblical contexts, then one might like to read “Esther and Athaliah”. There is nothing typical about a WRITERSWORLD book, any more than there is anything typical about you, the reader. Perhaps one likes the idea of publishing one’s own tome, but first wishes to see real evidence of the WRITERSWORLD quality production; then purchase one of the books and see for yourself.
TITLE OF BOOK - Wayne's Tour "A Big Bloke's Tour de France"
AUTHOR - Wayne Howard
ISBN No. - 978-0-9569532-0-9
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
After careful research I chose WRITERSWORLD for publishing my book- 'Wayne's Tour - A Big Bloke's Tour de France' and am extremely satisfied with the result. There are clearly many unscrupulous and unprofessional self publish companies out there, and I have found Graham Cook at WRITERSWORLD is not one of them. From start to finish his full service has been prompt, professional, honest and polite. He certainly keeps you well informed at every stage of what is a very complicated process. There are cheaper companies out there, but I did not want my efforts of writing something I am very proud of, to be soured by a poor product or worse still, being ripped off. The services of my allocated copy editor Sue Croft and my cover designer Charles Leveroni were superb. I have worked out a comprehensive marketing strategy for my book and e-book utilising good tips and information provided by WRITERSWORLD. It takes real effort from an author throughout the publishing process and Graham Cook and his team give you the best chance of success and have certainly lived up to their good reputation.
TITLE OF BOOK - Backwaters

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Graham Cook and his team are a friendly, flexible and ultimately very effective team and it was very reassuring to have the experience of Graham Cook who managed my writer’s neurosis. My designated copy editor and cover designer were similarly courteous and highly creative and now knowing how complicated the process of getting a book to all platforms and outlets is, WRITERSWORLD delivers very good value for money. I have just launched my book and the initial feedback is all about the high quality of the book – whether people will feel the same about my writing, that is a different matter.
TITLE OF BOOK - It's a Teacher's Life...!
AUTHOR - Helena Harper
ISBN No. - 978-0-9570530-2-1
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I initially approached Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD with a view to self-publishing my third book (a children's picture book, entitled Pep, Polish and Paint). Graham Cook was aware that the publisher of my first book (a collection of poetic stories based on my teaching experiences, entitled It's a Teacher's Life...!) had gone into liquidation and he suggested his Book Rescue Plan. I thought this would be a good idea because it would give me complete control over the book with myself as the publisher, so I would never again be left high and dry by another publisher going out of business. The Book Rescue Plan process involved removing all mention of my previous publisher in the book and on the cover and inserting the new ISBN and publisher details. Graham Cook, however, went further, he suggested that the extra space created by this on the back cover could be used for endorsements/reviews I had received for the book. This was an unexpected bonus and illustrates Graham's Cook's high level of customer service. He also asked Nielsen to point the old ISBN numbers to the new number, so that I would not lose the reviews I had received on Amazon. Again, this shows Graham Cook's willingness to accommodate clients' wishes. I now have a book that is not only under my control, but which also has an improved layout because of the cover changes (the author biography was moved as well from the back cover to the last page of the book, to free up still more review space).
In short (and to use the words from my poem “Amy, the Able” in It's a Teacher's Life...!), if you also have a 'dead' book and are looking for
'coolness and calmness
served with a smile,
for honest directness
and willingness
to go that extra mile'
then I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD in their Book Rescue Plan. The customer service is second to none and you have nothing to lose.
TITLE OF BOOK - Connecting Dors

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I wanted my book on Diana Dors, the UK icon, to be launched on the day of her 80th birthday. With this in mind I booked the venue for the launch and sent out the invitations to coincide with that day. The only problem was that only 3 weeks before the launch I had not finished writing the book let alone arranging for its publication. Extremely stressed by my predicament I contacted Graham Cook at WRITERSWORLD, who assured me he would see to it that the book was published in time and that all would be well. He took full charge of the publishing details and made all the necessary arrangements, freeing me to complete the manuscript. He talked me through the decisions I had to make, like choice of fonts, of paper, of photographs. He was calm and reassuring throughout the process, phoning me each morning with the cheery announcement, "motivator calling", to be sure that any problems I had would be attended to. Against the odds, with his patience and skill and the skill of his team, a well-produced, handsome book was delivered in time and I was spared the humiliation of cancelling the launch. I couldn't have done it without WRITERSWORLD. Thank you Graham Cook.

I have just spent several seeks watching the fruition of my cousin's book, "Connecting Dors" as it morphed from the computer into a beautiful book under the careful guidance of Graham Cook of WRITERSWORLD I have been involved in every aspect of publishing for a dozen years and have not come across a professional in the business of printing books more earnest, conscientious, available and hard working than Graham Cook's company. His communication skills, willingness to listen, comprehend and turn out the desired end product has made the venture a great success. Many thanks, Graham.

TITLE OF BOOK - Living a Lie
AUTHOR - Kevin Nilon
ISBN No. - 978-0-9570570-0-5
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
The thought of getting your first book published can be a reason for potential authors not to start. Thus it was for me until a friend told me about self publishing and I found the WRITERSWORLD website. The “publish your book” document on the web site was a real confidence boost and a breath of fresh air compared to the documentation on other web sites. I submitted my book “Living a Lie” to WRITERSWORLD and discovered that Graham Cook stood right behind his documentation. He rang to speak to me personally upon receiving my first e-mail and has been a constant source of support and encouragement through the whole process. My assigned editor, Ian Large, did a great job getting the text into shape. The cover designer, Jag Lall, did a wonderful job as I only had a vague idea about the cover but in three steps we had an interesting and eye-catching book cover. The process of getting my book from a text on my computer to a marketable product is a complicated one, but Graham Cook and his team paved the way for me so that I hardly noticed it. The final product, my printed book, is now a very classy object and something of which I am very proud thanks to Graham, Ian and Jag. I believe Graham Cook and his team at WRITERSWORLD give novice authors such as myself the best chance of achieving their dream, getting their book in print and into the market place.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
When I had been let down by a small independent publisher who had been promising me for 9 months that he would publish my book, I decided that enough was enough and – taking inspiration from the main character in my story (Sammy, a sun that's lost his shine) – I decided to take some action and find another way to get my book published, that's when I approached Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD.
I already had a layout, which my illustrator had done, but corrections needed to be done on several pages where my old publisher was mentioned and on the cover. I did not have the original Indesign files from my illustrator, just pdfs, but my layout designer (Ian) overcame these difficulties very professionally. Both he and the cover artist proved to be very willing and helpful, and Graham kept me informed at every stage - a welcome change to the long periods of silence I had endured in the previous months from my initial publisher! There were problems with getting the correct book details listed online (due to circumstances beyond the control of WRITERSWORLD, but Graham Cook showed great patience throughout.
I am more than happy that I decided to self-publish the book with the help of WRITERSWORLD. Self-publishing a book, as I have now learnt, can be fraught with pitfalls and problems, and to do it all yourself as a newbie is a tall order, so it is good to have the guidance of someone who has been doing it for a long time. I am happy that I now have complete control of my book and, should I require amendments to the layout in the future, then these will be done free of charge. So, if you're looking for someone who gets things done, then I have no hesitation in recommending Graham Cook and the services of WRITERSWORLD.
TITLE OF BOOK - French Grammar
AUTHOR - Caroline Tracey
ISBN No. - 978-0-9570612-0-0
What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Before spending my hard-earned money on self-publishing my French grammar book, I spent a lot of time researching the different companies who are involved in the self-publishing world. Anyone who is reading this is bound to have done the same by now and you will know that there is a wide and confusing range of services on offer. So why did I choose WRITERSWORLD? Not because it’s cheap – it isn’t. My first impression was that the WRITERSWORLD website was the only one that had all the information publicly available: the whole publishing process; what you, as the author, get; what you don’t get; what input you’re expected to make; and, above all, how much it all costs. So I thought: these chaps are up-front – they quote a price and tell you what you’ll get for it. No extras within the stated limit of 80 000 words. And beyond that limit the price is given per thousand words. I like it.
I still contacted some other companies to see what they offered and how much it would cost. In the case of several companies I had trouble getting hard information out of them, so I mentally discarded these. In the case of other companies I found that the ISBN numbers would not be in the author’s name – a potential issue, particularly if ever there were a conflict between the company and the author. In another case I found that although the quoted price was much lower, the company retained a considerable portion of the royalties on the sale of the published work – for the lifetime of the book. And in yet another case I found that the quoted price was very low indeed but then everything, but everything, was an extra. I sat down and did my sums, comparing like with like, and found that the WRITERSWORLD price was not much more than this other company when I calculated everything in, and no hassle.
I’m a difficult customer, I admit. I sent a copy of the WRITERSWORLD contract to a friend of mine who is a solicitor. He looked at it and picked a few holes in it. So I contacted Graham Cook about this and he immediately made a few changes to his contract because he saw that the solicitor’s comments were fair. Hats off to Graham Cook! The two people Graham Cook got me to work with – the copy editor Sue Croft and cover designer Jag Lall – were both highly professional and efficient, and both have done a great job for me, really listening to my particular needs for the book and bending over backwards until they were sure that I was happy. Graham Cook has kept me informed at every stage and has made regular phone calls to me in order to make sure that everything was going smoothly.
Self-publishing with WRITERSWORLD has been a totally hassle-free experience, everything has happened as expected, there have been no unpleasant surprises and Graham Cook has systematically kept his word about everything he said he would do. So, having started off on this venture with great doubts and trepidation, I now have no hesitation in recommending WRITERSWORLD to other authors.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
Having had my book previously published by a publisher who went bust, I decided to take the plunge and take my book to WRITERSWORLD. Even though I am a sub-contractor with WRITERSWORLD, I never fully realised just how much background work Graham Cook and his team do for the author to make life as easy as possible in publishing their book. It is quite a relief not having to worry about ISBN numbers and sending copies to the likes of the book distributor, thus giving me time to solely concentrate on my book and leave the formalities to WRITERSWORLD. All in all, publishing with WRITERSWORLD has been a worry free experience which I think is essential in today's market. Lastly, the finished sample I received was very impressive and I could not be more thrilled with finding such a reliable publisher as WRITERSWORLD.
TITLE OF BOOK - Cotswolds Memoir Discovering a Beautiful Region of Britain on a Quest to Buy a 17th Century Cottage
AUTHOR - Diz White

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
WRITERSWORLD is the best company worldwide for the self-publishing author! The personal and very attentive service from Graham Cook, the WRITERSWORLD founder, is beyond compare; the finest there is, no matter where an author is located in the world. Self publishing is a steep learning curve for the uninitiated but with this company there is help every step of the way from Graham Cook and his excellent team. I was six thousand miles away from WRITERSWORLD'S headquarters when I used this company’s services to publish my book and this proved to be no problem at all. Graham Cook and his team answered every question I had with courteous patience and friendly, expert professionalism either by telephone, on their dime, or by email. In addition, many helpful suggestions were made that saved me from numerous pitfalls that could have sabotaged my efforts.
I searched far and wide for a company that would set me up with my own ISBN. WRITERSWORLD was the only company that would do this for me in combination with a long list of extra excellent services, including the author keeps 100% of their royalties (this is unheard of and no other self-publishing company I researched could offer this). WRITERSWORLD sets the author up with the biggest book wholesaler in the U.K. and WRITERSWORLD sets the book up with all the major book retailing outlets. Also, the on-going service that WRITERSWORLD provides in managing book distribution for the author is extraordinary and takes away every headache that occurs without fail in the journey of self-published authors. Just as important is the quality of final product – the book – and in this WRITERSWORLD excels. Every phase of putting a book together is handled with the utmost care from the standard of line editing, through book and cover design to the quality of the paper, everything is top of the line. I consider WRITERSWORLD to be the Harrods or Tiffany’s of self-publishing companies and would highly recommend its services to any author who is considering becoming his or her own book publisher: look no further, this company is worth every penny of their fee!

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I had no hesitation in using WRITERSWORLD for the fifth time, and availed myself of their e-Book service into the bargain. The deciding factors, for me, in staying with this particular publishing service were both the high standard of support and the quality of their finished books. It is tempting to go with the “free” publishing services, especially for those like me who have no fear of the technological issues, but I am very pleased that I stayed on-board, ensuring the maintenance of previous high standards. The best evidence of the WRITERSWORLD qualities is easy to see for yourselves when you check out the products at Amazon and other book retailing websites. With the WRITERSWORLD standard package one gets a very high level of technical editing, along with extra eyes to support one’s own proof reading. A cost component of production is the cover design, which is subjective, and many of us have some ability, but the professional involvement is invaluable and I like covers that are strikingly different, and I hope you agree that that is what I got. The world of publishing has changed, and is still changing at an unbelievable speed. WRITERSWORLD is keeping up with the pace of change, but whatever the changes, core things have to be done right to get our hard work into people’s hands and WRITERSWORLD achieves this with panache.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
After spending time and effort crafting my first ever book (Supermarket Shoppology), I was thrilled with my manuscript and set about finding a publisher. Well let me say this, that isn't easy. After months of synopses, meetings and even utilising the services of a literary agency, it became apparent that there’s much more to getting a book to market than just writing a manuscript. And that’s when I discovered the services of Graham Cook and WRITERSWORLD. They were like a breath of fresh air; they took the manuscript and nursed it through professional proofing, adding illustrations and managing the creation of hardback, paperback and e-book versions. The whole process was straightforward and hassle free from my point of view; and nothing was too much trouble for Graham Cook. Having now co-written a second book (The Presenter’s Handbook) I had no hesitation in introducing my co-author Ian Callow to WRITERSWORLD and lo and behold, just like last time WRITERSWORLD did an excellent job: they even add value by providing extra publishing-related services such as enhancing the listings on websites without passing the costs on to us. They have a great business and are a total pleasure to deal with. If you are considering having a book published, I really do urge you to contact WRITERSWORLD to discuss how they can assist you.

What I think of the service I received from WRITERSWORLD
I would recommend everyone who is self-publishing a book to do so with WRITERSWORLD the service they provide is first class, the attention to detail and the very fast efficient work that is done around the clock is second to none. The team around Graham work with the same ethics as he does which means an excellent job well done, I was blown away with the expert advice that has helped me progress forward in the right direction of sales of my book. Graham Cook has a lot of wisdom and shared this openly with me to help you achieve my objective of producing a great book. The true value that was behind the service I received from WRITERSWORLD was overwhelming as I felt like everyone cared for the book as if it was their own, yet didn’t take over in any way. Everyone worked so hard to get my book exactly how I wanted it and I will always be grateful for the outstanding service I received from WRITERSWORLD, thanks to Graham Cook, Jeremy Renals and Jag Lall.
