What people say

Positive energy and great customer experience

At first, my relationship with Spines was a bit of a struggle, as both the customer and employee sides were learning the process and building rapport. This started in January 2025. I actually had many doubts about the company. But I can happily say that since February 2025, a very positive relationship has been established once I began working with Sofi Lopez Ramondelli, Laura Molina, and Aaisha Nazeer. They each have a wonderful attitude and great attention to customer service needs. Please keep up the good work.

I reached out to Spines to help me…

I reached out to Spines to help me publish my book. They have been excellent in their direction and speedy process that has led to my final outcome of my book. I am greatly satisfied with the way they developed my suggestions about the covers and the critique process they helped me to settle with. Spines, Miss Lily was so supportive in all my request as was the other members of her team. I am getting another volume ready to publish and I will not have any problem choosing them again.

Project communication and management is key

I published my book through Spines and the outcome was successful—my book was formatted, the cover was finalized, and it was ultimately made live on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. That said, the process took more effort than it should have on the author side. Communication and continuity were inconsistent. I experienced delays between updates, had to follow up repeatedly for status, and there were points where expectations weren’t aligned (for example, what was included in the plan: formatting vs editorial/proofreading). There were also multiple handoffs across team members, which created rework and required me to consolidate change requests to keep the project moving. The strengths: once the right people were engaged, they addressed formatting issues, implemented corrections, and moved the project across the finish line. The team also helped clarify metadata items like BISAC and keywords as we approached publishing. My recommendation: Spines can get a book published, but authors should be prepared to manage the project closely, document all requests in writing, and push for clear timelines and scope confirmations up front.

Exceptional Support Throughout a Sensitive Publishing Process

I worked with Spines on the editing and publication of The Seventh Beggar: Notes from the House of the Detainees, a deeply personal book I originally wrote as a diary and later translated into English myself. Because of the nature and sensitivity of the text, it was extremely important to me that the editing be accurate, respectful, and faithful to my personal voice. Ofek Ben-Shabbat accompanied me with exceptional patience, sensitivity, and professionalism. He was attentive throughout the process, responded thoughtfully to my questions and requests, and gave me the genuine feeling that someone understood how important this book was to me. At one point, when an administrative issue arose, Ofek handled it with fairness, care, and genuine commitment. His involvement made a real difference and strengthened my confidence in the process. Without Ofek, I might have become discouraged along the way. Now, about two weeks after the book’s publication, and after receiving warm responses from readers, some of them with legal backgrounds, who praised the book as well written and fluent, I am happy to thank him wholeheartedly and warmly recommend his professional and dedicated guidance to other writers.

Working with the team at Spines has…

Working with the team at Spines has been an amazing experience. This is my first time working through this publishing process. And having a team member like Anthony Roa, step in a pick the project and get it across the finish line has been a WONDERFUL BLESSING. When I started communicating with the team at Spines, I knew I would rely heavily on their guidance. Anthony and the amazing team behind the scenes are helping bring an idea to life. I'm grateful that my thoughts will be in a form that I can share. Thanks to Anthony and the team, I'm truly grateful.

UPDATE... My book is now living on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, kobo ebook and indigo

I'm still in the production stage. The communication is awesome, whatever I need, they are there for me. Update, as of June 6th 2026 my book went live on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and (Kobo ebook) and Indigo. Thank you, Spines

I AM STILL IN THE PRODUCTION STAGE

I am still in the early production stages of publishing and have worked with two or three production team members so far. Oh, the sales team is amazing and does work as a unit. My assigned production manager, Andres Esteban González, is a compliment to his company as a great communicator, dealing ethically and professionally, yet very personable. All team members are ready to listen to and address concerns promptly and are eager to provide reassurances and clarify processes. I'm looking with great anticipation for the finished product. Thank you.
