What Our Authors are Saying
Dear Lois, YOU are amazing. My first time writing a book and you walked me through every step of the publishing process. You did it with grace too. You always answered my questions and you always made me feel secure. I wish that anyone who is writing a book would have the honor and privilege of having you as their publisher. I have given your name out to those who are thinking about writing a book. Best publisher ever… Lois Hoffman. Thank you for the great experience of working with you.
I just wrote my first book and had absolutely no idea what to do or where to go with my project. I found Lois through Social Media, and I must say she made my adventure effortless. She is amazing, so easy to speak with, her follow through is top shelf. She connected me with all the right people required to get my book published. My book got published and I could not be more pleased. The book cover, (100% Lois) is so amazing that I did not consider anything else. She took the flavor of my book and matched it to a cover that was just perfect. If you have a project and have no idea how to move forward, please try Lois. The best I can say is when I write my next book, she will be the first person I call.
Lois Hoffman, you were such a joy to work with on Blue’s River! Your patience, knowledge, support and creativity were limitless! I really appreciated your openness in communication, and your skill in guiding this book to fruition. You juggled your attention between me and my illustrator expertly – which makes sense given your other job! The final creation is a beautiful work of art, and I could not be more grateful to the Happy Self-Publisher!
