“When it became clear I needed to revise and reissue my specialty textbook, Parenting From a Distance, a friend suggested I contact Sheryn Hara at Book Publishers Network.

“I am grateful to Sheryn Hara and Book Publishers Network for making my dream to become a published author a reality. Sheryn encouraged me to proceed. The Platinum King: Andrew Olson’s Story, which I co-authored with my husband’s cousin in Sweden, took several years to complete. Through those years, Sheryn guided me through the process and gave much-needed advice. The editors, cover designer, and layout designer also provided excellent services. I highly recommend Book Publishers Network, which I am using for my second book.”

The Alaska Pen was conceived in largely hand-written letters among the three co-authors. Sheryn and her amazing group of artists, writers, editors, and proofreaders transformed a very complicated and convoluted history into a truly handsome book. The cover by Laura Zugzda. Stephanie Martindale’s layout. Julie Scandora's editorial skill. We heartily recommend them."

“My first book was in the top ten percent of sales with my first publisher, yet they couldn’t give me the time of day. They were more of an obstacle than an asset. I knew I needed a different publisher who would be more involved. When I spoke with Sheryn Hara, she was willing to come to my home, unheard of in this industry. When she walked through my door, accompanied by her lhasa apso, I was sold! Sheryn is a visionary, someone who will be by your side through the entire publishing process.”

"Sheryn Hara promptly returned my phone call. “Bring the manuscript!” she said. After reading it, she sent me specific cost estimates and information on what would be next if I decided to proceed. Months later, edited, laid out, proofread, design work completed, the book was off to print! Book Publishers Network is a definite go-to operation if you are contemplating the move to publish your work."

"As editor of the 50th-anniversary edition of our high-school yearbook, I found myself talking to Sheryn Hara at Book Publishers Network. She provided a detailed estimate (somewhat higher than the final bill) and thoroughly answered my questions. Stephanie, layout, incorporated images and designs from the 1959 yearbook, which surprised and delighted the classmates. After the reunion, many told me, in person, in letters and emails, that they had no idea the yearbook would be such a handsome, professionally done book."

Attracting the Right Person into Your Life: The Real Truth

? ? ? ? ? ? ?

"My friends who published a book in the traditional manner with a prominent New York publisher urged me to avoid that morass and self-publish. For months I worked with a superb freelance editor on the manuscript, but producing, promoting, and distributing a finished book remained a mystery. Then I met Sheryn Hara, a fountain of expertise, insights, and skill in properly placing a book into the market. Her design team really hit the ball out of the park. And thanks to her marketing and distribution team, the book is selling at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. It has been a joy to work with Sheryn, and I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone serious about creating and selling a book."
