Great folks and very accomodating--for a reasonable price
Westbow was a breath of fresh air after our horrific publishing encounter with Covenant Books. So many great people at Westbow made our experience go really smoothly as far as working with those assigned to our project (shout out to these rockstars: Levi Floyd, Bob DeGroff, Deena Capron!). Unfortunately, we didn't understand much about the new self-publishing model and expected much more invested interest from the company, but for no-name authors that want to get out there at their own investment, Westbow Press is a fabulous company! We just needed to go over things with a fine-toothed comb as the manuscript is processed by multiple departments and we missed some layout errors and a few little text glitches that was not what we sent them, but must have happened along the way. So make sure you are extremely detail oriented. Otherwise, paying for mistakes--both yours and theirs--is expected by Westbow of the self-funded author. Also, Westbow cannot accommodate more than one author either legally or communicatively, so my co-author and I really wish they would change that policy. All in all this new way to publish probably has American publishing companies of yesteryear turning over in their graves, but it's a great opportunity to get out there and get yourself heard, and Westbow has some amazing folks to help you do just that!
