Dear Deborah,
 
We are extremely pleased with the proof copy of "Beast" that arrived at our doorstep via Next Day Air within only a day of my approval of the digital cover proof. The quality of your service continues to astound me. The quality of your work, (including but not limited to), the editing, formatting, and cover design, gives even the major publishing houses a run for their money. Please pass along my heartfelt appreciation to all the members of your team who have made sure that quality was poured into the production of my book every step of the way. I can only hope that those who read the book will find the story contained within its pages worthy of the care that was put into its production. Thanks for making your talents available to first time authors, like me. You're the best!
 
Sincerely and Respectfully,

 

David N. Donch 

Author of Beast


 

Hi Deborah,

Three months ago I retired from Engineering.  In my work life (see attached) I worked with a lot of companies.  The experience I had with Llumina over the past couple of months has been very pleasant.  I appreciate all the help everyone in your Publishing Co. has been during the development of my book, Night Cafe.  To a customer this is very important.
I'd just like to say thanks to everyone.
 
Sincerely,
 Martin P. Foster, Author of Night Cafe
 Happy Thanks Giving!!

 

Hi Robyn,

 

This is Kathleen, Paula's granddaughter.  I wanted to let you know that my Grandmother passed away on October 9th at the age of 91.  She was so thrilled to have this published before she died!  She kept a copy of the book by her bed and would read it over and over.  After a while, she forgot that she had written it, but she still loved to read it - or have it read to her.

 

...Thank you.

 Kathleen     Mentioned in the Will


 

"I believe you will find Lumina Press worthy of publishing your book with the best professional attention.

Deborah, the editor, is wonderful and caring, and so is the entire staff.

You are in good hands with Lumina Press."

Sincerely,

Billy.

 "Just a quick e-mail to tell you how happy I have been with Llumina Press. Everybody that I have worked with has done a terrific job and some of us have even developed friendships. Robyn and Rocky have been outstanding. Have you had an opportunity to see the cover yet? Rocky did a terrific job and his enthusiasm for the project shows. I am very happy with all the service and the consideration taken while I was recuperating from surgery, that certainly slowed me down. But we are almost there, ready to publish. I would like to put your logo and a link on my website, will that be OK? www.stemsoflife.com Thanks again. Good job everybody."

 "Thanks for the links. It is really a great feeling to see an idea for a book that I had for years to finally reach its completion by being released to the world as a well designed book with a great cover! And I have Llumina Press to thank because it was a visit to your website that inspired me and gave me the motivation, the strength and persistence to finally materialize this idea into a book. It was a vision of the page that I just saw with my book on it that gave me all the push I needed to work hard for three months to complete and realize a lifelong dream. For this, I thank Llumina and its utmost professional staff with all my heart for inspiring me and helping me realize my dream. I paid a minimal fee but the result is priceless. Deborah, please feel free to use this as a client testimonial. This is the minimal I can do in return for what I received from Llumina Press. Again, thank you all so much."

"Dear Llumina Press,

Thank you for making dreams come alive in the work you do best. I am pleased to have Deborah Greenspan as my coach. I also enjoyed the drive it takes to get my book into public view. Holding the final product in my hand and seeing my name on the cover page not only put a smile on my face, but a glow in my hair. It’s been a pleasure knowing that everyone plays a great part in the work they do. I am pleased to have chosen Llumina Press to work with on my manuscript.

My thanks go to Deborah Greenspan, Ron Ferris, Joanna, Robyn, Rocky, Diane, and Fina. And, of course, a special thank you to Shari Reimann.

Llumina Press and its employees are truly great people; I am pleased to work with you all."

“It is an unlikely event, when an author doesn't cringe at the sight of a change in his/her words. You have successfully bypassed this fear with your distinguished wit and unmatched clarity. You take a sentence and turn it into a polished idea. If a picture is, indeed, worth a thousand words, you would surely make each word portray a thousand others…”
