Authors Are Saying...

“… I had previously published some books on my own without any help. It was expensive and I wound up with large numbers of those books gathering dust. It turned out I wasn’t very good at promotion. I knew I needed help but most of the self-publishing companies seemed to be saying that they would provide you with information but you were own your own when it came to doing any of the needed tasks and was referred to Merrimack Media.

I  got: a cover for my cookbook, A Dance in the Kitchen, to which everyone responds with enthusiasm; a website, equally well-designed, which allows me to add all kinds of things (additional recipes, essays about food, and a blog which addresses larger issues than just food); press releases; reviewers; a You Tube interview of me talking about the book; business cards; a radio interview; several book fair opportunities; a Farmers Market event; and a connection with a bookstore for a Launch Party. And more. All for half the price I paid out ten years ago for a book less than half the size.

But what I really got was encouragement, confidence (especially around new technology), and an advocate.  Even now, with the book in print and a host of other things lined up, Merrimack folks are still there for me and this project.”

“I researched dozens of companies in the business of publishing independent authors. I decided to hire Merrimack Media, not only because they consistently publish high-quality books at a reasonable cost, but also for the hands-on guidance and support the team provides authors after their books are published.

While her team of editors and social media people help authors, Jenny Hudson, the CEO of Merrimack Media, creates eye-catching book covers and quality web sites. On many occasions, people in the book industry have examined my book and praised the quality of paper, interior design, binding, only to express surprise to learn the book was independently published.”

“I want to share the “Wow!” response I get from many people who see my book for the first time. The attractive cover is an immediate draw, followed by more positive comments as they leaf through some of the pages. Merrimack Media’s Jenny Hudson’s creativity is evident in the beautifully designed cover of my recently published book Exploring the Charles River and in the accompanying website ExploretheCharles.com. She has also established a variety of social media for me to use in promoting my book, Exploring the Charles River.”

“I’ve had a great experience having my book Sex With a Married Woman published by Merrimack Media, the best publishing experience I’ve ever had.  Jenny Hudson, the owner and publisher, has made it easy.  She really knows her business, taking care of all the steps in the process of getting a book designed, created, published, and marketed.  All I had to do was write the manuscript and send it to her, and she and her team at Merrimack Media created the book and brought it into the world.  Three things I particularly like about working with her: She does everything with enthusiasm, courtesy, and grace; she’s totally straight and reasonable about money; and she responds to e-mails and phone calls within the day, often within the hour.   I’d recommend Merrimack Media to anybody looking for a publisher.”
