Always a pleasure doing business with Wordzworth! This is my second self-published book with you guys and I always get unsolicited compliments on the book formatting by other people in the trade, including that it looks like it's been done by 'a real book publishing company'! ;)

The professionalism and integrity your company has is commendable. The work is great and emails that keep the client up to date is clear and concise. I also like how you cater to the client 1 on 1 with consulting on the phone regardless of the time difference to answer all the concerns the client may have. Overall the service has been speedy and responses to my questions have been prompt, never leaving the client high and dry. I also particularly like the package you offer from typesetting to publishing. And how your company don't put the client under pressure for your other services. I look forward to working with you again, and will definitely recommend any future referrals to you.
