Pen Press offer a complete service including marketing. When
my first books were printed, we put a package together and approached
Virgin Atlantic. To date they have bought 600,000 for their in-flight
kids packs. Gerald Howe, Alfies Adventures Books 1 to 5
Thank you all soooooooo much. As you may have guessed, I now have
the books in my hot little hands. I can't explain how I feel, I
should be able to - being a writer, but I can't. Alan Rice, Wrong
Place Wrong Time
I feel the award should be given to both myself and Pen Press.
Lynn Phillips, Watford Under Wood, winner of David St John Charitable
Trust prize for fiction 2006
The last thing I wrote for TV - my seventh episode of Midsomer
Murders - was watched by half a billion people. Why Pen Press? They
pick and choose and that puts them a cut above the competition.
Marcus Barr, Haggard Hawk
Thank you so much for printing and sending me my books
, I was thrilled to receive them. I will certainly recommend your
services to anyone I know who needs a publisher, and keep you in
mind should I venture into print again! It is such a good idea of
yours to supply five such beautiful books in this way, allowing
people like me to see their work in print, however small and humble
it may be. My grandchildren, (and who knows, my great-great grandchildren)
will have cause to be thankful to you too! Gillian Taylor,
A Granny's Childhood
Im perfectly certain that I wouldnt have received
this level of service with a mainstream publisher bravo to
Pen Press for making it possible! Hannah Hyam, Fred and
Ginger
I didnt receive good advice or marketing support from
my previous publisher and ended up doing a lot of promotional work
off my own bat. I realised I would rather do it myself and retain
higher percentages. Colin Campbell, Through the Ruins of
Midnight, Ballad of the One Legged Man, and Gargoyles, Skylights
and Roofscapes
I secured a slot on Radio Ulster, having gone onto the show
to be interviewed about my book... and I have just been booked for
a second season! Ronald Frazer, The Good, the Bad, the
Best Forgotten
I wanted to retain creative control and neither sensation-alise
or dilute my text. Nicholas Davies, Rebel Royals and Diana,
The Killing of a Princess
Margaret Forster loved my book! To me it was the highest accolade.
Dulcie Matthews, From Paradise to Eden
I waited over four months to receive a reply from just one
of the eight mainstream publishers I had submitted my work to. When
the inevitable rejection came, it was perfectly obvious from the
comments that my work had not even been read! I gave up wasting
my time with people who werent even going to give my work
a chance and decided to publish myself. David Maislish,
White Slave
