Writing my first book as a rookie book writer, I was intimidated by the entire process, from the order in which steps to take, the editing, the printing, and the formatting to name a few, until I was introduced to Mike.

In one sit down meeting Mike set the process for writing my book “Tackling Life”. Because of his expertise we were able to get the book completed from start to hard copy very quickly.

In addition to his printing expertise, Mike's integrity is beyond reproach when it comes to pricing, quality, and candor throughout the process which is a major factor in producing a high end product. My book is scheduled for it’s 3rd printing and I owe much of its success to Mike, who will once again guide me through it’s reprint!

In addition to his talent as a designer, Mike adds value to every project. He is reliable, resourceful, and trustworthy--characteristics that are of utmost importance to me. Mike and I have worked on a number of projects together throughout the years.

Although my role is generally project manager and copywriter, I can always count on Mike to spot opportunities for improving text, delivering value adds to clients, and improving the bottom line.

In addition, he has been a terrific resource, connecting me to top-notch vendors and professionals. My Rolodex is prioritized rather than alphabetized, and Mike's among my first tier of go-tos.

Mike is a delight to work with. His graphic design and project management skills make it easy for me to focus on my writing. Mike is honest, creative and always willing to take the extra step to ensure a professional and timely product. He has helped me with a number of projects and I look forward to working with him again.

I met Mike while working with Kevin Reilly on his book, “Tackling Life.” When I decided to write my own book, I knew the best course was to work with Mike.

He handles every aspect of product development from designing the cover and content to managing multiple distribution channels. Mike’s value is not limited to the book alone - he designed and set up a book website and he tracks sales and provides fulfillment services. He has a range of contacts with editors and printers and takes the confusion out of the process from start to finish.

Mike is more than a publishing consultant – he has become a trusted friend and advisor.

Being introduced to Mike at Faith and Family was the most pleasant part in completing my book, The Power of a Rose.

I was incredibly grateful for his patience in guiding me through the entire process and his rapid response time on all requests. He offered the highest quality of work and I could not be happier with the beautiful lay out of my book. I get compliments often from my readers. Most importantly to me, Mike is a man of great integrity, fairness, and kindness. He is a true Christ-like professional.
