“Choosing to publish my first collection of poetry through Poetry Publisher seems to have been a very good move. I had read books on self-publishing and it involved more work than I was prepared to do. I wanted to outsource, and Dave Lewis was the ideal person to approach. He took care of everything, was very easy to collaborate with plus providing lots of support and advice. I am delighted with the final product.”
– John Short

“As a young author seeking to publish my first book, David has been an invaluable help. From proofreading and suggesting edits to producing the perfect cover image, Dave deserves a medal for his patience and commitment to publishing!”
