“The company motto at HHP is ‘Exceeding expectations, one book at a time,’ and they truly live up to that promise. My work with them during editorial development and production, and the book that resulted, absolutely exceeded my expectations.”

Cheryl Coker, Plymouth University, author of Motor Learning and Control for Practitioners

“Working with Holcomb Hathaway is a joy—they really care about what they do, and they care about their authors. I’ve worked with bigger publishers, but my experience with Holcomb Hathaway has been the best of all. I sincerely appreciate and benefit from the personal touch they bring to their projects.”

James C. Foust, Bowling Green University, author of Online Journalism

“In my opinion as an author, Holcomb Hathaway works miracles. Based on their understanding of the college market and input from experts, HHP editors offer constructive guidance to help make a book unique among competitors. The production staff magically turns a plain document into a creatively designed book that appeals to readers. Holcomb Hathaway team members are available and helpful; while I am writing, I know I can telephone or email at any time with questions. I truly enjoy working with this group of experts.”

Beverly DeVries, Southern Nazarene University, author of Literacy Assessment and Intervention for K–6 Classrooms

“Publishing with Holcomb Hathaway is a blast. I have found them to be most helpful in the business of publishing a book. The owners of this growing company, Colette Kelly and Gay Pauley, and their staff take extraordinary pains to work well and productively with authors during publishing. Turnaround times for the review of the manuscript, editing of the drafts, and production and publication of the text are efficient. I have found the feedback at every stage of the process to be concrete and constructive. In my case, they took care of obtaining the copyright permissions, which was a great relief to me. They were flexible and helpful in accommodating my preferences for the book’s artwork.

“Other Holcomb Hathaway authors publishing for the first time tell me that they received an immense amount of moral and technical support during the preparation of their manuscripts and the ultimate publication of their books. I can assure potential authors that they will not find a better enterprise than Holcomb Hathaway with which to publish their books.”
