"DartFrog has been an amazing partner and supporter of my book-- as well as of me as an author and a human being. From personal discussions about the process before I signed, to incredible editing, to ease of use of their platform, to prompt responses to my questions and concerns, to expert technical skills, to amazing book design, to depth of knowledge about publishing, KDP, Ingram, etc, the team has delivered 110% for me. I couldn't be happier with my choice! Not to mention their cheerleading and encouragement after release date. It definitely felt like I had a team behind me the entire process. I highly recommend this group of kind, ethical, and talented professionals."

"I could not imagine a better team of experts to handle the publishing of my book than DartFrog Books. DartFrog’s expertise, professionalism, skill, and dedication to creating the most beautiful book possible, and the team’s enthusiasm for the success of the book and the author, were truly exceptional. From the very first manuscript read, Gordon McClellan sensed the story that needed to be told and helped me see my own words and vision more clearly. From that point forward, the book was in expert hands from design, editing, marketing, and publishing with excellent communication and guidance from start to finish. DartFrog has an extraordinarily unique community of talented, caring people, and I look forward to working with them on my next book!"
