Five stars for now

Here it is!
Author Help
For anyone considering this self-publishing service, I would say go ahead.
Initially, I felt disappointed that personal responses to the manuscript arent given - though really, this was just an example of good boundary-keeping and professionalism. When interventions were required, for example, in the proofreading phase - they were duly forthcoming.
In general, I found 'Author Help' very responsive to dealing with my questions and uncertainties about the technical matters of publishing.
My novel was extremely long and finding the right format, took several iterations. They were very patient and more than 'went the extra mile' to help produce an attractive result.
I would certainly use their service again.

Self publishing help
I had no idea what I was doing prior to engaging the company to help me publish my book. They guided me through and no question was too silly. Any hold-ups were explained. I now feel more confident to possibly publish again in the future.
AuthorHELP is the best in the biz!!!
Robin coached and supported me for about 6 months while I tried publishing my first independent book. Through the twists and turns, he helped me stay on my path. Robin knows the ins and outs of self-publishing, and he freely shares his wisdom. He's also incredibly reliable, prompt, and conscientious. I've already referred a friend to him, and I'll definitely seek his help with my next book.

This is the best company to get your book published. Robin was great. Very professional. My book is now on Amazon and is starting to sell.
You MUST work with Robin and Author Help
Robin is outstanding. My book, Thrive, is my first venture as an indie author. Robin made the process easy, understandable, and educational. He taught me the behind the scenes of self-publishing, and he did so with a smile. He was punctual, conscientious, clear, and caring. With every book hereafter, I'm working with Robin and Author Help. If you want your book to be successful, you should, too.
Robin has been absolutely amazing
Robin has been absolutely amazing. So kind and patient with all my last minute alterations. I highly recommend them.
Highly recommend!
I am a first-time author who found Author Help through ALLi. I cannot be more pleased with the job Robin did in guiding me through the publishing process: setting up social media pages, proofreading my manuscript, formatting the books for KDP and IngramSpark, arranging the cover design, uploading the finished product, etc. Robin could not have been more professional and helpful. It was a priority for him that I come out of the experience with the book I wanted. He would answer my questions and offer advice when asked, but from the outset, he was clear that it was my novel and I should end up with the book I envisioned. And I did. Thank you Robin and Author Help. You can trust your "baby" with them!

Author Help
I approached Author Help earlier this year to assist me in having a family memoir published. I had previously looked at doing the editing myself but became rather overwhelmed, and felt I needed some professional advice. I felt supported and part of the process through the whole project, with either Jen or Robin confirming with me at each step that I was happy with the work they had done. They were patient when I had delays at my end, and the final product is fantastic. I would definitely recommend Author Help for anyone needing advice on publishing a book for personal or commercial use.

AuthorHelp have provided an excellent service. Always prompt in communications, professional, thorough, patient and courteous, they have taken me through the production of my first self-published book from start to finish, including ebook and several print formats, and have advised and helped at every stage of the way. I am delighted with the finished products and cannot recommend them highly enough.

I can't recommend them enough
I can't recommend them enough
Author Help were marvellous to work with. They helped me take the chapters of a book, by various authors (not all of whom had written in English as first language), and turn them into a high-quality, polished manuscript adhering to extremely fiddly guidelines. They have an excellent eye for detail. They were very clear about what would be involved and required at all stages of the process, and were extremely professional, also working to some rather tight timescales, for which I am grateful.
A real pleasure to work with, and well worth every penny.
Definitely deserving of an acknowledgement in the book!
Comprehensive, personalised, and highly professional
Author Help provide a comprehensive, personalised, and highly professional publishing experience. After corresponding about the publishing package, they arranged an early meeting to confirm the details and ask clarifying questions. They were open and transparent around the process and associated costs, with the various options explained clearly for me. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to create an ebook and paperback proof of their novel, and look forward to working with them again in the future.
Absolutely delighted with Robin’s support
Absolutely delighted with the support provided by Robin while preparing to publish our first book. He was prompt, helpful and patient, during the publishing process and even after the book had been published. I will certainly contact his company for my next project.
"A PERFECT MARRIAGE"
As I remember I started working with Author Help in 2018 after my publishers wife died and he decided to pack it in and sail around the world. With a manuscript in hand, I needed someone to help me publish my novel, The Hunt for Madoff's Treasure and after speaking to some professors in the English department at a local college, they told me about a young editor who was making a name for herself and I sent her my book to edit. With that out of the way, I now needed someone to produce the book. Someone who knew the in's and out's of the publishing industry...so I consulted, The Alliance of Independent Authors and they recommended Author Help in the UK. At first I was a little eerie of working with someone on the other end of the world but I was sure he'd speak English. Well, to my surprise Robin Phillips of Author Help was the real deal. Yes he could edit the manuscript, format it for Kindle and print, he could or have one of his contractors, come up the layouts, the fonts, the jacket designs, the copy, a webpage, I can go on and on. You know, I got into the writing profession...writing novels late in life. As a youngster I cut my teeth on Madison Ave as a advertising exec at Ogilvy, (the largest advertising agency in the world) then ran marketing at RCA, Digital, and John Hancock. At that stage I was really spoiled...whatever I needed, I had a whole department to do whatever I wanted in print, video, and internet production...so finding Robin at Author Help was dream come true. Look, I'm eighty-years old and I luckily found a young (compared to me) man who I could send my manuscipt to knowing it was in good hands. He was honest with me and made important decisions in every aspect in the production of the book. "You have too much copy of the back cover to fit the photo in." When I asked him to enlarge my photo with the Abbey of Mont Saint-Michel in the background. He was right. When I told him my eyes were failing and couldn't read the copy, he increased the size and it came out beautiful. And did I mention, Robin handles all my books printing and advertising with Amazon. Look, I just received my latest book from Amazon, "Love And Revenge...A legacy of War." and it came out perfect...especially my photo on the back cover.
Excellent quick service!!!
