Testimonials

They keep their word

Newman Springs publishing is an excellent source for someone who is writing a book for the first time. They have been very professional, competent, and considerate. More importantly, they keep their word. I highly recommend Newman Springs Publishing to anyone who wishes to publish, especially a first time author.

The publisher I needed

I recognize Hannah Senft for her talent and actions to bring the making of La Gringa Colombiana a reality to whoever wants to enjoy my story. Hannah has taken this project with professionalism, excellent communication and is always open to respond to my inquiries. Needless to say her kindness and gentleness was shown throughout the whole process. I want to thank you Hannah for being the publisher I needed.

A great partner

I recently finalized my first book, Roads of Erin Book 1: The Breeze of the Gaels. I knew very early on in the process that Newman Springs was going to be a great partner in seeing my idea through the process and finally into a published book. I was blown away by how kind and patient my publishing director was in answering all of my questions as we navigated the process. Hannah was always so accessible and responsive, it was so reassuring to me having taken on this process for the first time and not knowing quite what to expect from phase to phase. I would highly recommend Newman Springs to anyone who's looking to self-publish their idea into a finalized book.

Labor of love

I worked with Leigh throughput the process and was pleased with the attention to detail and updates during my journey. The process was enjoyable and I learned so much with Leigh's guidance. My novel is an ongoing labor of love and is available. Thanks Leigh!

Absolute rockstars

Newman Springs Publishing and Zach Dixon are absolute rockstars. They did great work on my book “The Biker and the Ghosts”. Kudos to those guys.

Encouraging and helpful

It was a pleasure working with Leigh Protivnak at Newman Springs Publishing in publishing my book, Create an Exciting New Start. She was always very encouraging and very helpful. I have another book in the works. I will definitely be going back to her for help in publishing my second book!

Happily recommend

They were very helpful in making a dream come true for me. Every time that I had a question, it was promptly answered in a warm professional way. They eased my dread of the process, and I would happily recommend them to other aspiring authors!

Profound professionalism

I have just published my first interactive children's adventure book, "Hungry James and Pops Too!" with Newman Springs Publishing. Hannah, my Publishing Director, and the team of professionals, was outstanding guiding me on my journey from editing to distribution. I was met with profound professionalism, communication, understanding, patience and a quick response to answer any and all questions. I have written my second and third book of this series, working on the fourth and looking forward to continuing with Newman Springs Publishing and the excellence Hannah and the team of professionals provided.

Made me feel respected When I engaged Newman Springs Publishing, Leigh Protivnak was my assigned Publication Director. Leigh made the whole experience, entirely new to me, easy and pleasant. She helped me maneuver paperwork, protocols, and steps in the process. She quickly, efficiently, and clearly communicated information with me via emails, answering questions about terms, responsibilities, expectations, and the editing process particularly. Leigh professionally acted the go-between explaining my concerns to the editors clearly to my satisfaction. And always in her emails she wrote and interacted in a personable way. She made me feel respected; I always felt she treated my work with the same sense of importance and value that I held for it myself. Newman Springs was easy to work with. They provided a fair exchange for the money I spent. Their editors did a thorough initial read through, made convention corrections and offered honest suggestions for revisions that were worth considering, and when I had questions about their changes, they answered them clearly. During the second edit, they respected my aims for the manuscript and made changes to satisfy my requests. Their editors did a fine job finalizing the manuscript. Similarly, when I had questions about matters peripheral to the editing and publishing process, Leigh answered them clearly, honestly, and objectively. She shared her experience and wisdom in the business so I could make wise decisions. Leigh, I thought, went beyond the necessary to help me, and I appreciate her honesty and guidance. The final product from Newman Springs is excellent. From the last proofs to the cover images, final layout, and design, Newman’s people did an excellent job helping me achieve what I wanted my novel to look like. I highly recommend Newman Springs. Their costs are comparable, competitive, and fair, especially for the services provided.

Wonderful experience

I had a wonderful experience with my publication director Shana Fitzpatrick. Shana was very professional in helping me to navigate through my recently published book " Dare Mighty Things" A Journey From the Potato Fields to A PhD. Her patience and sensitivity was second to none. I will be completing my next publication in early 2026. I will definitely be utilizing Shana's professional expertise and wisdom as I continue to move forward in my publication journey.
