“My YA novel Wide as the Wind was published by Open Books Press in 2016. During the entire process, from acceptance of the manuscript to publication, publicity and marketing, Jennifer Geist and her team were prompt, efficient, informed and creative at every step. What more could an author ask?
“I was so impressed by Jennifer's editorial skills that I hired her to do the interior design for my next two books. She's an experienced, eagle-eyed editor who has a prodigious knowledge and understanding of the art and business of publishing in all its complexities. The supreme pleasure of working with her is what I call ‘the Jennifer Effect.’”
—Edward Stanton, author, Wide as the Wind, VIDAS: Deep in Mexico and Spain, www.edwardstanton.com
“Do not attempt to publish a book without a professional review and edit! My coauthor and I have read and reread our books before publishing, and then submitted them for review by Pen & Publish. Every single time Jennifer Geist has found truly embarrassing and unprofessional errors in our manuscripts. She is like a grammatical Oracle in how quickly she finds dozens of corrections. To her credit, her ability to gently explain her edits keeps our ego intact and our motivation high in knowing we are publishing books to be proud of!”
—Brent McGee and David Carney, authors, Quadracrostics and 8-D Crosswords

“I worked with Pen and Publish, specifically Jennifer Geist for my grandfather's memoirs. What was a pretty daunting and complicated process at the beginning she made VERY easy for me. Between having to deal with copyright details, hard vs soft books, design, laws and rules around publishing, etc., I am glad that I found her. My experience was nothing short of fantastic. She was highly communicative, responsive, professional, knowledgeable and helped get the job done quickly. I would 100% recommend anyone utilize Pen & Publish for anything publishing related. I think you will be happy you did.”

“The students were delighted to have a book in which they were the stars! Many parents told us that their children enjoyed reading the book over and over again. I've seen lots of pride and empowerment as students read their poems aloud from a real book and shared their poetry with others. Teachers were extremely pleased with the way the book turned out, and found it to be an excellent tool to meet state standards in an enjoyable manner. This was a wonderful project in which everyone benefited.”

“Pen & Publish was an excellent choice for my project. Jennifer was incredibly patient with my endless questions and exceptionally thorough in providing information I didn't even know I needed. I was able to have my manuscript professionally edited through multiple rounds of rewrites, and Jennifer went to great lengths to find a printer who could deliver all of the details I wanted. If I ever decide to write another book, I'll go straight to Pen & Publish for help.”
