Everything was fine apart from the delay caused by having to reprint owing to a printing error in a batch of the book.
Hand held.
Throughout the process my hand was held and guided through uncharted territories. Always there to answer queries and assist with development. Even after the final printing. The Artist who designed the cover of my book, produced a perfect portrayal of fleeting thoughts I had.
I have to admit there were some discrepancies along the way, but between us we got there in the end!
I rang the office
There was an issue with online payment so I rang the office. I cannot fault how my purchase was dealt with. And it was sent out to me right away as promised. Very happy the online payment failed, in a way.

I would highly recommend Shieldcrest to anyone who wants to publish a book. This was my first book and they helped me throughout the process step by step with patience. I had so many questions and they guided me throughout. They are professional and always on hand at the end of the phone. If you are looking to publish this is the company you need.
Debut Writer
As a debut writer, ShieldCrest was like a beacon of hope for me, and I truly believe they made my dream come true. Without their support, who knows how long it would have taken for my book to hit the bookshelves? I am especially grateful to Leigh Stephenson for her patience and proactive nature in addressing all my questions—it was truly something special. I also want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone at ShieldCrest who worked behind the scenes to bring my book to a presentable state. A special thank you to editor Colleen Figg for her exceptional review. Keep up the great work, ShieldCrest. I'm confident you will help many writers like me achieve their dreams.

ShieldCrest
ShieldCrest have been very helpful from the beginning, to the publication of my first book. They were friendly and always willing to assist me.
Final success
I knew the title of the book I was looking for, which helped, though I was fascinated by the range of books published, and almost got led astray. Payment was a bit more challenging - I'm an octogenarian - but I got there in the end, and appreciated all the emails reassuring me! Also packaging and delivery was good - much appreciated.
A novice author
As a novice author, I was very grateful to ShieldCrest for all their help and guidance. Steve and Chris responded in a timely fashion to all my emails and never seemed to tire from all my questions. They worked with me to satisfy all of my requirements for the cover and formatting. I was delighted with the publication of my first book, which I considered to be a quality production. I would certainly recommend this publisher to anyone wishing to have their book presented to the market.
