I was very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail exhibited by all staff members of Luminare Press. As a point of reference, I previously published one book with a different self-publishing company, and I have used commercial publishers to produce three books and four edited volumes of collected scientific work. My experience with Luminare was far better than any of my previous publishing experiences.My book, Bitten by the Rowing Bug, required extra work because I included about 240 images, some taken from 100-year-old news clippings and others from archival snapshots. The staff was very helpful (and patient) with my nit-picking efforts to get maximum resolution. Moreover, many versions of the "final" draft were sent to me for editing: I decided when I the book was finished.Overall, I could not be happier with my experience.

I cannot say enough good things about Luminare Press. I had a very complicated book to put together. There were lots of drawings to be placed, sized etc. It was challenging but with an abundance of patience and professionalism their wonderful team managed to create a good-looking book that I am happy with. Also they are extremely helpful and available to their authors even after one’s book has been completed. I have contacted them with a few questions and they immediately respond. They are there to help you any way they can. I will be a repeat customer.

It was an absolute pleasure working with everyone at Luminare Press. The process from beginning to end - and even after the book was published - was clear, helpful, and timely. Each member of the staff offered a customer service mindset, and they were friendly and polite in all of their correspondence. They answered all of my questions, no matter how small, and conducted business in a way that made me feel that they had my best interests at heart. Thank you Luminare!

As a new author, I felt safe being led by Luminare through this daunting undertaking. What Luminare describes on their website, their process and costs, is exactly true to my experience. From start to finish, the cover designer, editors, project manager, and publication assistant, were professional and encouraging as they carefully guided me to publication. I am grateful for their expertise and for the privilege to work with such lovely people. I highly recommend Luminare.

The team at Luminare Press is highly skilled, reliable, and responsive. This is my third project with them and they did not disappoint. The designer listened carefully to my requests for the cover and interior and showed patience, creativity, and determination to create the best possible result. And she did! I was given very specific instructions for the steps all along the way and each member of the team clearly showed excellent knowledge and skill with the quite complicated publication process. I am pleased with the outcome and have already received much positive feedback from readers! Thank you, Luminare Press!

Working with Luminare Press has been great. I did a great deal of research prior to making my choice and was impressed with their many favorable ratings, In doing my due diligence I spoke with other companies where "making the sale" was the priority. From my first call with Patricia to everyone else at Luminare that was never the case. Along every step of the way each person I worked with was knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly cared about literature - especially my editors Sallie and Denise. The end result was that my novel, Swimming to Jerusalem, is much better because of their input and advice. I highly recommend Luminare Press.

Working with Luminare Press has been an amazing experience from start to finish. As a first time author, I was a bit nervous about taking my first step into the world of self-publishing. I really didn't know much about how to go about the publishing process on my own, and I knew little about what companies were out there and what they offered. I found Luminare through some research I did on the Alliance of Independent Authors' Website. From their excellent partner member rating to the amazing reviews, and the initial call with Patricia, I knew Luminare was the company for my book, Tales of Asterra. Everyone at Luminare is so kind and helpful! From Kim, who answered all of my questions promptly and succinctly; Caitlin, who went over setting up my files for publication and guiding me with the final steps to publication; Sallie and the wonderful team of editors, Jenny & Kimberly, who helped me make my book the best version of itself; Claire, who directed me through interior formatting; Melissa & Kristen, who helped me with marketing; and Patricia, who helped me initially with getting situated at the start of my journey. The whole team really went up and beyond to make me feel apart of the Luminare family. I can't wait to embark on my next literary project with Luminare, and I highly recommend them to any author in search of a great publishing company!

Luminare Press is great! Everyone that works there is professional, courteous, and attentive to all of your needs. The entire process is seamless, from the kick-off meeting with Patricia to the details work leading up to publication (with professionals like Kim, Caitlin, Nina, Melissa, and Sallie, you can't go wrong!). An outstanding team that provides high quality service at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Luminare Press!

My experience with Luminare Press was exemplary, far more personal than other publishers I have worked with. The entire staff has been very professional, helpful, and patient. They fulfilled all promises made in the contract, and the result, a book to be proud of, is well worth the cost of their services.W.
