"When that FedEx guy came driving up to the door and left two copies [of my book], it was probably the greatest day of my life, at least certainly it was way up there at the top. ... I've dealt with a lot of companies for 64 years and this is one of the best companies that I've ever dealt with."

Associated with Thomas Nelson
"WestBow Press is an imprint of the renown Thomas Nelson publishers and consequently an author gets an almost automatic feeling of security in working with them that makes them stand out from the hundreds of other self-publishers who could do the job – and that is what makes all the difference."
–Eva Ulian B.A, author of Rajput
"I just did my research and that's how I found WestBow. And then, I found out that they were a part of the Thomas Nelson company, and that was a major influence because my book is Christian oriented … and I thought that this is where I want to be. It was maybe a gift from God that I even found them."
–J.L. Robb, author of The End The Book
Discovery Opportunity

"We had already had so much success in the market, and Thomas Nelson via WestBow obviously saw that. … Well, then the news got better: Thomas Nelson actually said that 'We want to make [Three Cups] a title – we want to make it a Thomas Nelson title.'"
–Scott Willy

"Your staff is professional and addressed every question I had. I really appreciated them following up with and keeping me informed of the status of my book during the publishing phase. Another important item to note was the fast turnaround service you provided; but most of all, I'm really impressed with the softcopy and hardcopy of my book. You guys did a great job, from the design to layout to graphics. Thank you!"
–Elizabeth Foster, author of The Perfect Gift
"All of the people working on my book – from the initial contact to the check in coordinator to my PSA – have been courteous and fabulous to work with. Thank you all for making this a truly rewarding experience - may the good Lord continue to bless you all. I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for a job well done and for the entire team working on my book. WestBow Press is a top notch organization which should make the parent company Thomas Nelson Publishers very proud.

"From the very first person that I talked to, they were more than congenial they went way beyond the call of duty – they helped me out. I was kind of blind in doing this – I'd never written a book – and they just kind of took me by the hand and worked me right through it."
–J.L. Robb, author of
The End The Book"Throughout my entire publishing experience, everyone was so kind and helpful."
–Brenda M. Lane
"The people at WestBow Press are polite – they treat you like a 'client' but they also emanate an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness."
–Eva Ulian B.A

–M. Larson
Breath-Taking Design
"The book cover I received from the cover designers is absolutely breath-taking. I found the design team to be professional, helpful and honest. Based on my experience with the design team, I will definitely come back to WestBow Press for any future work I publish."
–Lynnda Ell
Stay in Control
"Because of the research involved, I needed a publisher such as WestBow Press that would print my manuscript exactly as it was presented. Which traditional publisher allows you to do that?"
–Eva Ulian B.A
"Not only am I happy with the process (and the finished product), I actually selected WestBow over and above an offer I had from a traditional publishing house, because I liked the support I was offered, as well as the control I maintained! This is a fabulous way to publish! I will do it again, and I will recommend it to others."
–Rhonda K. Kindig, author of Found in Translation
Speed to Market
"WestBow Press is quick. Your book is published within weeks – it takes years with traditional publishers."
–Eva Ulian B.A
Follow Your Calling
"I would ask God what could I do for Him, because I was always asking Him to do things for me, and I kept hearing this voice, kept saying 'write your book…' And for 10 years I didn't do it because I just never had time, and finally I did it and I'm glad I did."
–J.L. Robb, author of The End The Book
