I've been an author for more than thirty years, and had many text books published with established companies, like Macmillan, Open University Press and Jessica Kingsley. Having taken early retirement, I spent five years fulfilling a long-cherished ambition of writing a novel. Getting a novel published these recession-hit days is more difficult than winning the lottery, so I decided to publish it myself. I chose Direct - POD to print the novel. 

Dale Burgess and his team provide a service that is truly first class. I was particularly struck by:

• Their patience and sensitivity in explaining to novices like myself, how the process works; its various stages and outcomes.
• The speed and efficiency with which they can convert the submitted material into a finished product.
• The supurb quality of the finished product itself.
• The highly competitive prices they charge, to produce such high quality products. 
• The availability and willingness of all staff to help whenever one is making contact with them. (This is a priceless asset in a company today, when the vast majority of the public share their frustrations and anger about other companies because they can never contact the right person to speak too...!)

It's been a pleasure getting my novel printed by Direct - POD. And, whatever one may think of its contents, many people remark on the quality of its print and its cover.
