What it is like to work with us

In my thirty-five years as a writer with projects encompassing film, television, and novels, working with Warren Publishing on my family comedy novel Raft was the best creative collaboration of my career. From our very first interaction, Mindy Kuhn and her team thoroughly understood my book and my goals for it. Through the editing, book jacket design, and marketing processes, we were always in sync, and I felt supported and heard in a way that made the entire experience pure joy.
Stu KriegerRaft
As a debut author, my knowledge of the publication process was beyond basic. Thankfully, Warren Publishing offered me a contract for my women's fiction debut and immediately started educating me on publishing processes. Mindy Kuhn and her incredible team are truly amazing — always so accessible, knowledgeable, and responsive! Warren embraced my book, my vision, and turned my dream into a successful reality.
Kimberly McMillanNever Enough Time
Crafting my memoir was one of the most important projects of my life. My story was emotional and sometimes challenging to write. Choosing the right publisher to collaborate on my book was a critical decision. I can't say enough good things about the team at Warren Publishing and will be forever grateful for their guidance. From the first day I partnered with them, I always felt they had my best interest in mind.
Jason FisherTo Where You Are
The day my novel, Messenger, found a home with Warren Publishing was one of the happiest of my life. I hold the utmost admiration and gratitude to publisher Mindy Kuhn; to my gifted editor, Amy Ashby; and to all the marketing and media folks at Warren. Not only did Mindy and her staff work with me to create a book I was proud of, she hosted me twice at Corks, Cooks, and Books for book club and signings — a huge added plus!
Liz WhitehurstMessenger
Step by step my participation in proofreading, editing, title selection, layout, cover design and sales promotion was respected by the skilled Warren Publishing team. My story became Warren's story. They valued my vision and did their professional best to make it happen. Together we made Chance a worthy novel.
Clare AdkinChance
After having a really bad experience with another publisher, I found Warren Publishing. They picked up the project and ran with it, not only seeing eye to eye with the standard and quality of the book I envisioned, but exceeding any expectations I previously had. The challenge of taking a book halfway through the process to a new publisher and making it their own seemed daunting. Warren's team never skipped a beat.

Encouraging. Professional. Flexible. With careful attention and the desire to see my vision of my book come to life, Warren guided me step by step through the publication of my first book. I am grateful for the staff at Warren and their servant-heart attitude toward new authors.
Pat MenserDelight!
My experience with Warren Publishing was very rewarding. They were prompt, professional and creative. I would not hesitate to recommend them to other authors.
