My author representative was responsive and kept me informed about the progress of my book. However, once my book was published I ordered 40 copies and was anticipating my one free author's copy. The delay in receiving these books has been excruciating. For example, I ordered copies through amazon.com for my children in ***** ********* ******** *** ********* and they have all received their copies, yet I am still waiting for Outskirts Press to deliver my copies. I do not understand the delay. Very disappointing.Outskirts Press, Inc. Response

We are delighted to hear that ************** was pleased with his Author Representative. Thank you, **************, for your loyalty. We look forward to working with you on your 5th publication.
Our Book Oder screens clearly state that the printing timeline for paperbacks is 7 9 business days with the delivery timeline in addition to the printing timeline. ************** ordered his 1 free copy and his 40 additional copies on Friday 3/29/2024. His 40 copies were delivered on Tuesday 4/9/2024 and his 1 free copy will be delivering on Wednesday 4/10/2024.The printing and delivery timeline together was actually less than the stated 7 9 business days for printing. A review of Amazons site indicated that a book purchased on 4/9/24 would be delivered between 4/17 and 4/19 which is the same timeline as it took ************** to receive the books he ordered from Outskirts Press directly.Review from Paul G

I have published two books through Outskirts Press, and I am very pleased with the entire process. The people at the company work with you and guide you through every step of the process. Both my books turned out better than I thought they would. I am about to submit my third book with them. The options they have for your book are totally up to the individual and that way you only pay for what you want. I recommend Outskirts Press to anyone that is looking to self-publish their book.Outskirts Press, Inc. Response

Great people dedicated to excellence. I used the expedited service and received my published book even sooner than expected. The design of both cover, front and back, were exceptional. The cover stands out among other books. The design of the interior pages; especially the photos looked great. The cover alone helped pre-sale my book better than expected. Overall, Outskirts rates number one in printing. From the publishing Consultant to author ******, everybody did an excellent job.Outskirts Press, Inc. Response

I just published my fourth book with Outskirts Press. Yes, I spent considerable money in the process, but I'm aware that producing a book is expensive. I feel that my money was well spent. The staff at Outskirts press is professional. They are helpful. They are available to assist me when I need help, which is often. **** was my contact person at Outskirts. I don't know how many other authors she was assisting, but she always had time for me. Overall, I think Outskirts provides a service to fledgling authors.Outskirts Press, Inc. Response

Outskirts Press is astounding when it comes to publishing. I have published four of my five books with Outskirts Press, and have been very pleased every time! The custom covers are works of art, the communication with the major players throughout the publishing process is clear and concise, and the final product of the published book is top notch!Truthfully the only reason I give Outskirts Press 4 stars instead of 5 is because I wouldn't exactly give them an A when it comes to the marketing of the book, which is mostly the author's responsibility. Nevertheless, Outskirts Press does provide a very good website for each individual book -- and links to the author's other books -- and well above average copy editing. (I'm telling you, if you are not taking advantage of Outskirts Press's copy editing services, your are just wrong!)And let me not forget to mention, that Outskirts Press has a plethora of resources available for ALL stages of your book, from the $35 first submission to the marketing of the final fully published product. Outskirts Press has been impressing me with their services to authors since 2013...and I keep coming back because I have truly found none other who can serve an author better!Outskirts Press, Inc.

Be sure to check the fine print. One year after my first book was published, I got a notice from them that I had to pay $36 for the extended agreement; this is due every year on all my books and I have two through them. I called several times but no one would pick up the phone.Outskirts Press, Inc. Response

******************** is correct. Each year authors are responsible for a $25 Annual Distribution Subscription Fee for their distributed print titles. ******************** has 2 published titles with us. ******************** agreed contractually to this fee prior to completing the purchase of both his publishing packages. Our Director of Production will be reaching out privately to explain the new $36 annual fee for his digital eBook editions. ********************** can either agree to this new service or elect to opt out of the new service.Review from Paul E Fein - Managing Leader & Director - The IDD Leadership Group LLC - F

I have used the outstanding support and insights from Outskirts Press for the second time, to publish my second leadership book. This organization has been fully committed to helping the author with each step to bring to market the writings successfully. Regular connections, clear direction, and specific actions all were provided by Outskirts Press individuals. Without a doubt, I will be turning to Outskirts for my potential third book for publishing support with total confidence as well as appreciation.Outskirts Press, Inc. Response

I have published two books with OutsKirtsPress, and my experience since the begging to end was incredible. Everyone from the production team was very professional and very dedicate. Great marketing and distribution sales support. The toolkits and ideas that the production share with you is amazing. I thank you everyone. Each one was awesome.
