“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

– 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

“It was a pleasure publishing my book through Dorrance. Everyone who worked with me during the process was polite, responsive, and quick to get back with me. I found the process to be exciting and stress free. I would definitely recommend Dorrance to other authors.”  - Helen Ramirez

"The staff at Dorrance Publishing has always been totally supportive, courteous and professional during the process of publishing my book. 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. The book itself is a guide to spiritual advancement and is based on my own experience. The finished product has a good appearance and looks very professional. I am thrilled!"
-Charlie Horton, Three Simple Questions: Being in the World, But Not of It

"Christmas Story is a retelling of Clement C. Moore's A Visit from Nicholas. The staff was very helpful and professional. And the book came out beautifully illustrated and designed. I am very pleased with the result."

“To all the staff at Dorrance Publishing, thank you so much for the amazing job you have done on my autobiography. It was fifteen years in the making before I approached Dorrance and to finally hold the finished product in my hands was an incredible experience! I will gladly recommend you all to anyone who dreams of one day publishing their own work. Again, many, many thanks.”

-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.”

-Col David O. Scheiding, USAF (Ret), Hank An "Angel Dog"

"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. Also, all of the personnel have been professional. I recommend Dorrance Publishing to anyone that believes they have an interesting fiction or non-fiction story to tell."
-Eleanor Haley Selph, Hamburger & Milkshake

“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

"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

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.

- Dr. Guillermo Airall, Retired Colonel, United States Army – Silver and Gold: Untold Stores of Immigrant Life in the Panama Canal Zone

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."
