Here's what our authors are saying about us

Cassandra,
I was really excited to see the webpage up today. Thank you everybody at Llumina for the wonderful work and service you have provided. I am very pleased with all aspects of the project: the editing, the formatting, the cover design, and for your wonderful customer service. All of you have been available to answer my questions, and also, have never hesitated to contact me when you needed a question answered.
I did a lot of research and comparing many of the self-publishing firms out there, and I am very happy that I approached you with my writing project.
Steven Fujita,
Author, Sword of the Undead

I wanted to make a special effort to let you know how much I enjoy working with Debbie Dawson. While things don't always go perfectly in business, she has made it a point to be pleasant, helpful and understanding. She responds quickly, follows through thoroughly, and makes me feel she appreciates my business. She represents Llumina well at all times, and she is a pleasure to work with. Thanks for having her on your staff.
Viki Ryan, RN, Author of The Ultimate Medical Manager

... If it wasn't for Llumina, I'm not sure I would have gone on with the project and it would still be on my "to do one day" list. The workbook has been a very healing experience for me. It has also been very moving to talk with the parents and the kids who are using the book in their sibling support groups. This book has helped a lot of people so it was worth the time and money invested. I truly appreciate all the people at Llumina who walked me through the process of making the idea real.

My goal is to be your best seller at Llumina! I'm putting a lot of energy into marketing The Other Kid - I hope it translates into big sales and gets to all the kids going through a tough time.

Lorraine Donlon, Author of The Other Kid

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the finished copy of my book and it is everything I had hoped it would be. My experience with Llumina Press was outstanding. Please express my heartfelt thanks to all of the staff that worked on my book. I will be in touch shortly to begin work on a marketing program. "

"Thank you for the fine cover! It is just what I wanted. I really like what you did on the border of the painting. I received the proof copy of the book yesterday and I am one happy camper. Happy 4th of July."

Keith L. Thomas

"As always, you did a lovely job."

Joost Hensen

"Hi Robyn, You've done an incredible job. Thank you!"

Marc Garrett

Author of North of the River

"Hello again Deborah, You know, I'm learning so much about you and your company each and every day. I just finished reading the book you (wrote and) recommended on 'publishing.' It is awesome! It is brief and to the point -very basic, with honest information. Deborah I really feel as though you were chosen by God as my personal 'book publication angel.' From the day I found your site on the Internet, which was a few years ago, I've had nothing but confidence in you. When I mention to people that I've chosen Llumina Press to publish my first book they want to know why. I tell them how encouraging you were from first time you read my manuscript. Trust me, I searched around for other publishers. But my heart and mind indicated I should stick with Llumina Press. I'm so happy I did, because my experiences with your company thus far have been amazing to say the least. You have a wonderful staff of patient and courteous women and men. Thanks again for all you've done, and keep doing, for me and others. May God continue to bless your business."

Angela Singleton

"Hi Deborah and Deborah. Although Robyn saw no need for this note, I felt it was appropriate anyway. I will be sending a separate testimonial recognizing Cassandra, Fina, and the rest of you for your amazing professionalism and dedication. In the meantime, I have to single out Robyn, who was playing 'injured.' In spite of what I know to be a very uncomfortable medical condition, she worked through the PDF adjustments cheerfully and effectively. Only because of the close working relationship was I even made aware that she was not at the top of her game-- it was not apparent from the quality or speed of her work at all. In my opinion, she represents the best principles of customer service and team support for Llumina. Another example of the fabulous team you have assembled!"

Robert D (Dr Bob) Thompson

Author of Measurement Consultant

"Thanks very very very much, Diane. also, I thought you might like to know that my best friend told me that you were absolutely wonderful to her in helping her 'un-screw-up' the order she placed with the wrong delivery address. people have a tendency to register complaints and not compliments, and I try not to only do that. I really think you have been terrific through all this and I am very grateful."

Mavis Donnelly

Author of Dust on the Road

"I received the advance copy of Meeting at the Divide. It's a thing of beauty, and my gratitude to all at Llumina."

Daril Bentley

Author of Meeting at the Divide

"Just wanted to thank you and your staff for your efforts in bringing "Earl the Pearl" to life. It's been an interesting experience. I guess without you and your staff's encouragement I might have giving up on this project. I get the impression that the people at Llumina are family and enjoy what you do. It being my first project, I had no idea what I was getting into and was a little apprehensive, but no one made me feel lost in my questions and demands. I'm looking forward to doing another book project with Llumina soon. Again, I thank Llumina for helping new authors bring their ideas to print. "

Dennis Santos

Author of Earl the Pearl - a baseball story

"Diane, I truly appreciate the great customer service you provided thought out my lost book saga...when you said 'I will call you back,' you did; when you said, 'I will follow up with the printer,' you did; and when you said, 'the book will arrive today,' it arrived. Superior customer service skills, such as yours, are hard to find today, and when they are found they should be recognized!"

Dean Brady

Author of The Leadership Zone

"I just wanted to thank you for all of your help and support with the making of my book. You are all so helpful, punctual, and professional. I really enjoyed working with you.

"I saw the book on your website and on Amazon. It looks great on both! I can't wait to get the postcards.

"Hope to hear from you soon regarding the other perks in the package I chose. Again, thank you very much!"

Kelly Phillips Bookamer

Author of Dear Dad

"Yesterday I received the proof copy of my book, The Wreckless Manager, and could not be happier. I appreciate all of the hard work each member of your staff put in to it.

"Robyn and Fina, the formatting you contributed gave the book great eye appeal and made it pleasing, easy to read and flow smoothly. My wife picked it up and began reading it last night. She is not a reader and commented on how easy it was to read.

"Rocky, I love the front and back covers! Thanks for hanging in there with me as we examined various proofs. A friend of mine who creates wedding and party invitations commented on how much she loved it!

"Cassandra, thanks for being available to answer my questions and for coordinating the whole project.

"Now the fun part begins....MARKETING! I can't wait to receive the first copies.

"Thanks to all of you for a job well done!"

Ron Griffin

"You are awesome! The cover is simple, yet strangely haunting. Don't touch a thing. I didn't really know what I wanted until you showed me. :-)"

Mark D. Chevalier

"Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am with my book. I've received several compliments on the quality of the book, as well as the cover design. Kudos to your staff! I hope you and your staff have a joyous holiday season!"

Tim Werling

Author of Woman of the Raj

"I wanted to commend you and your staff. I received my book in the mail yesterday, and I am quite thrilled and pleased by it. It's good to finally get it out of my computer and into a real, bona fide book. From everyone to Cassandra to Rocky, thanks for bringing this dream of mine into fruition. The editing was really great. Though the words expressed are mine, in certain spots the different word choice chosen helped to bring about a greater depth, so that the meaning originally intended was clear. And, of course, without having an attractive and interesting cover, most people aren't tempted into buying; so thank you for providing an outstanding cover. Thank you."

Saldanha Ridley

Author of A Celebration of Love

"Thank you so much for the interest and good work you put out. You (Fina) and Rocky have been wonderful to work with. Gracias."

"We are extremely pleased with the proof copy of 'Beast' that arrived at our doorstep via Next Day Air within only a day of my approval of the digital cover proof. The quality of your service continues to astound me. The quality of your work, (including but not limited to), the editing, formatting, and cover design, gives even the major publishing houses a run for their money. Please pass along my heartfelt appreciation to all the members of your team who have made sure that quality was poured into the production of my book every step of the way. I can only hope that those who read the book will find the story contained within its pages worthy of the care that was put into it's production. Thanks for making your talents available to first time authors, like me. You're the best!"

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and to congratulate you on your great publishing company. So far, every staff of yours that I've encountered has been very friendly and professional. From Fina to Robyn to Rocky. Even the lady whom I spoke to about paying up the rest of my balance, Diane, asked me to pay my balance nicely. ... Again, I truly appreciate the combined efforts of your staff. The cover of the book is exquisite. Have you seen mine? It is the best on llumina.com!"

Rita Ihekwaba

Author of Walking in the Spirit

"Just a quick e-mail to tell you how happy I have been with Llumina Press. Everybody that I have worked with has done a terrific job and some of us have even developed friendships. Robyn and Rocky have been outstanding. Have you had an opportunity to see the cover yet? Rocky did a terrific job and his enthusiasm for the project shows. I am very happy with all the service and the consideration taken while I was recuperating from surgery, that certainly slowed me down. But we are almost there, ready to publish. I would like to put your logo and a link on my website, will that be OK? www.stemsoflife.com Thanks again. Good job everybody."

Virginia (Ginny) E. Hansen

"Thanks for the links. It is really a great feeling to see an idea for a book that I had for years to finally reach its completion by being released to the world as a well designed book with a great cover! And I have Llumina Press to thank because it was a visit to your website that inspired me and gave me the motivation, the strength and persistence to finally materialize this idea into a book. It was a vision of the page that I just saw with my book on it that gave me all the push I needed to work hard for three months to complete and realize a lifelong dream. For this, I thank Llumina and its utmost professional staff with all my heart for inspiring me and helping me realize my dream. I paid a minimal fee but the result is priceless. Deborah, please feel free to use this as a client testimonial. This is the minimal I can do in return for what I received from Llumina Press. Again, thank you all so much."

"Thank you for making dreams come alive in the work you do best. I am pleased to have Deborah Greenspan as my coach. I also enjoyed the drive it takes to get my book into public view.

“It is an unlikely event, when an author doesn't cringe at the sight of a change in his/her words. You have successfully bypassed this fear with your distinguished wit and unmatched clarity. You take a sentence and turn it into a polished idea. If a picture is, indeed, worth a thousand words, you would surely make each word portray a thousand others…”
