“Is it destiny? Anyway, it is extremely rare for feet to lead their owner to the right path. On looking at my feet today, I truly guarantee that they have been touched by God to direct me to Dorrance Publishing’s floor. That is why not all publishing houses stand almost one hundred years in operation. I am all tears of joy, appreciation and applause to all at Dorrance for bringing into sheer and unique realization of my dream of holding my published anthology in my hands.”

- Bonani "Bonny" Monnye, The Hand of a Flower Anthology

“Authors are anxious about a variety of things when it comes to having a book published.  I am no exception, but was delighted to find prompt and positive responses from all members of the Dorrance staff.  This professionalism means I will have my other books in this series published by Dorrance as well.”

– Chloe Winston, Belize Barter

“I found Dorrance Publishing through a writers’ magazine and their variety of offers intrigued me. After contacting them about my book, they knew automatically what direction was needed to get my book on the market. They offered advice and considered my suggestions and we came to a very happy conclusion. I know there are other self-publishers who are eager to ‘get your book on the market’, but believe me, they come no where near the quality of product you’ll receive with Dorrance. I know. I tried another first and was extremely disappointed. Dorrance made the huge difference in how my book will appear to the public.”

Margaret Brennan, Max

The book is my first so I was nervous and I had no idea how to proceed, and they took care of everything efficiently and keeping me informed along the way.

-Charlie Horton, Three Simple Questions: Being in the World, But Not of It

-Michelle Leigh, No Glory for Me

“As a retired Air Force Colonel, fighter pilot and engineer who also founded and ran my own environmental consulting firm as President and CEO for 18 years, it gives me great pleasure to be able to recommend Dorrance Publishing Company. I have been impressed and totally satisfied with the courteous and truly professional services provided by Dorrance Publishing during the publishing process of my book Hank, An "Angel Dog”.  Dorrance not only met my expectations but greatly exceeded them in all aspects of the publication process of my book.  Since actions always speak louder than words, and due to the extremely positive experience with my first book, I plan to submit my second manuscript to Dorrance for consideration for publication in the very near future. If accepted, I know exactly what outstanding professional services I will receive from Dorrance Publishing Company.”

Eleanor Haley Selph, Dorrance Author

"I am a recently published author with Dorrance Publishing Co. My experience from submitting my manuscript to progressing through the various stages of production, printing and promotion, has been a pleasant and superb experience.

-Eleanor Haley Selph, Hamburger & Milkshake

Judy Godfrey, Dorrance Author

“This has been an amazing experience for me. The entire publishing process has been done with such ease, and with people who genuinely care about my tiny novel. Perhaps the most  impressive has been the front cover. If the artist did not read the 'farm chapter' in the book, you would never know. The rendering of the soft, country scene is captivating, and the tiny red rose in the lower right of the cover is like the cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. Should I ever have another novel that runs through my head and onto paper, I will be using this publishing service to present the book. I have a friend who lost her son some years ago, and each year it is a painful 'birthday' for her. This year I emailed the front cover to her on that day, and she left it up on her computer all day, occasionally stopping in for the peace she felt when looking at that picture.”

-Judy Godfrey – Finding Rose

Peggy Collins, Dorrance Author

"My book evolved from a personal journal. I reluctantly shared some of the things I wrote with others. In that moment, I realized that authentic penmanship inspired the listening ear. Dorrance was one of those ears and remained by my side with professionalism, patience, support, and guidance along the way."

-Renee Collins – Alabaster Box

Dr. Guillermo Airall, Dorrance Author

The books arrived and have made a 95-year-old author very proud! Thank you for every detail of this process that you managed with such grace and ease. You never once let us down and your professionalism was always present. You've taught us a lot about the production process and you've managed the complexities from a novice, like me. Please accept my deepest thanks and appreciation for your support.

John Wesley Heide, Dorrance Author

I had always dreamed about publishing my own book, and I took great effort to select a reputable publishing house. My first choice was to be a publisher in the United States of America because I am a strong patriot of our great nation. The second reason for selecting Dorrance Publishing is that they had an affordable payment plan. The Dorrance team lives up to their reputation for intelligence and timely response. My book was like a dented automobile and by the time Dorrance worked things out with me, the dents are long gone and the car looks like new. I will use Dorrance Publishing to publish my second book, Broken Bridge. I simply love the work that went into the front and back covers. Dorrance Publishing makes you feel like you are part of their family, and I recommend them highly to anyone considering publishing and marketing a book. The Dorrance staff at large is of the highest quality in the United States.

Prayers answered – thank you! You have met and exceeded my expectations at every turn! I believe, with our partnership, I Love You Anyhow, will reach the audience for which it has been written, helping empower them to experience the blessings of an I Love You Anyhow kind of love.  You have not only helped my dream come true, but also those whose relationships will surely be healed and restored through the message of the stories in this book."
