Emerald Lake Books

Working with Tara and Mark at Emerald Lake Books was a very positive experience. They were both easy to talk with and were always supportive. I especially appreciated the thoughtful feedback I received. As a new author, I asked many questions and they were all answered with patience and understanding. It was definitely a collaborative effort. It was a pleasure working with them and watching my book come to life!

Broad and deep understanding of publishing and superb attention to detail. Emerald Lake Books did excellent work for me in publishing my first book. They are highly experienced in the process of writing and publishing and bring a broad and deep understanding to this complex and personal process. From planning the goals of writing, to editing, cover and interior layout and launching and marketing the book, attention to all details and personal attention and responsiveness were outstanding. You are in very good hands with Emerald Lake Books.

Great Publishing Team at Emerald Lake Books. Tara and her publishing team are true professionals in every way. Her knowledge, passion and dedication are readily apparent from the beginning. I am truly blessed to have published my new book with Emerald Lake Books and recommend to all fellow authors to do the same.

Instead of pushing their own vision on their authors and clients, Emerald Lake Books cares about the author's wishes. They give personal attention that has not been seen in the publishing world since the mid '90s, and see to it that the result is high quality, satisfying to the author, and still makes it into online retailers like Barnes and Noble. Although self-publishing is not for everyone, if there is a reason to do so, Emerald Lake Books is the place to go.

I'm so glad I met Tara at the 2019 Florida Authors and Publishers Assn conference. Her presentation was clear evidence of her abilities, knowledge, contacts, and concern as an author's representative. With thousands of new books vying for attention each year she provided the edge that got my new book "Welcome to the Zipper Club" noticed on Amazon. I thought I had a winning idea for my book cover. Mark took that idea and created an outstanding attention-grabbing cover. Thank YOU, Tara and Mark!
