Onwardsandupwards Reviews

A Publishing Company that deserves to go Onwards and Upwards

Having recently retired I penned my first book in 2015 and forwarded the manuscript to Onwards and Upwards I had always enjoyed writing but had no idea whether my work was worthy of a wider readership In less than a fortnight the manuscript had been approved for publication From that point onwards right up to publication and promotion Luke and his team were a joy to work with Their advice and comments were invaluable and were always offered in a constructive and encouraging manner I was never coerced into making changes and was allowed to make my own decisions The proof reading was meticulous whilst the layout and cover design contributed greatly to the eye catching appeal of the book Throughout the whole process it was very easy to communicate with Onwards and Upwards as e-mails were responded to almost immediately I have since had two further books published by Onwards and Upwards and the same positive efficient service I received for Truth in a Nutshell was repeated with How shall they hear and A Life Worthwhile---the story of Aaron I would have no hesitation in recommending Onwards and Upwards Publishers to prospective authors retailers and book-lovers

Onwards and Upwards publishers professional efficient Godly and full of integrity - definately the way forward

The experience I have had with O U and in dealing with Luke has been a most pleasant experience and will have no hesitation in having another book published by them or indeed no hesitation in recommending O U to any author for publishing their work It is not only the fact that they have been thorough professional and very informative during the publishing process but the fact that they have displayed a level in Godly integrity that is very rare to see in the world today They have gone over and above what they contracted to do and have been most amicable towards extra needs and wants The reviewer s comments on my book Breakthrough into Recovery that is about a workable solution of recovery from dependency disorders habitual patterns of sin establishing a tangible personal relationship with God were the exact reasons I believe the Holy Spirit had revealed to me for writing the book and this really made me realise that I was in God s will thank you for this

This is to warmly recommend Onwards and

This is to warmly recommend Onwards and Upwards Publishers I have found these Publishers to be helpful in every way and I am very grateful for the encouragement I received over both my books I was diffident about even enquiring about having my book published but the friends who helped with editing persuaded me to try saying that it was such an interesting and exciting testimony I had just written it for my grandchildren really Most of the contacts with O U were made by email or sometimes by phone calls and by the time the books were published I felt that I knew Luke as a friend even though he was so professional I have told several people who hope to have their books published about my good experiences with O U and I am absolutely confident that they would too

Professional and Personable

I recommend Onwards and Upwards for their very professional approach to the publishing process whilst offering sensitive guidance to a first time author such as myself I found Luke Jeffery Managing Director very personable encouraging and yet at times challenging as he wanted to take my book to the widest possible audience This included having great profile at the Christian Resources Conference in Swanwick meeting bookshop owners and managers whilst signing numerous copies of the book I look forward to continuing our working relationship

EXTREMELY HELPFUL

Onwards and Upwards provide a helpful professional and comprehensive service at a very cost effective price I would not have been able to write and print my first book without their understanding guidance and wisdom This has been so successful I am now writing my next book within months of completing the first

I have published two titles with this

I have published two titles with this company and recommend them wholeheartedly They are professional attentive and supportive

A gem of a publisher

In a nutshell Onwards and Upwards are a gem of a publisher The managing director Luke Jeffery is an expert in his field He is an excellent editor and provides a professional yet personal service I found his feedback on my first ever manuscript very prompt encouraging and honest He engaged an illustrator for my children s book who did a great job interpreting the text As a team with Ella Connolly marketing manager they are hugely supportive knowledgeable and proactive in promoting my work As a new author I have found their input invaluable in helping me learn the ropes of book launches signings social media etc I am thrilled they have accepted my second book because I know it is in such good hands I confirm that they work with the utmost integrity and I highly recommend them

Highly recommended
