Testimonials

We will not write these ourselves.

This page stays empty until real authors have said something real, in their own words, and agreed in writing that we can publish it.

No testimonials are published on this site yet. The cards below are empty slots showing where verified author quotes will appear. Nomadic Authors USA does not write, commission, paraphrase or purchase testimonials.

Our rule

A testimonial is either the author's words or it is worthless.

Invented praise is the cheapest thing in publishing services and the most common. It costs nothing to write and it tells a prospective author nothing at all.

When quotes appear here, each one will carry the author's name and the book it refers to, and each will have been approved in writing by the person who said it. We do not edit quotes for flattery, and we publish reservations alongside praise where an author has expressed them.

In the meantime

Judging a publishing partner without testimonials is harder, so here are things you can check instead:

  • Ask us to explain, in writing, exactly what you would get for what you pay.
  • Send the manuscript and read the free assessment. It tells you more about our judgement than a quote would.
  • Ask which services we would not recommend for your book, and why.
  • Ask who owns the rights, the files and the identifiers at the end. Get it in writing.
  • Ask to speak to an author we have worked with in your category once approvals are in place.

Worked with us?

If you would like to say something, we would like to publish it.

Good or critical. We will publish it as written, once you have approved the wording.

Tell us where your manuscript is today and what you want it to become. We will tell you honestly what the next step should be.
