”After a couple of years of searching for a reputable self-publishing company, I was fortunate to meet the owner of Marketing New Authors, (MANA), Fairy C. Hayes-Scott. During our conversation, I mentioned to Fairy C. Hayes-Scott that I had a deceased cousin who had a collection of writings, mainly poetry, that she had been unable to get published before her death. That was the beginning of an in-depth conversation about how MANA could assist in the publication of my cousin’s writings.
At another time, I met with Fairy C. Hayes-Scott to obtain a better understanding about how MANA could help with the publication. I was extremely impressed with the warmth, sincerity and clarity Fairy C. Hayes-Scott displayed as she explained how her business worked. During this meeting, she shared with me other books that MANA had published. I shared with her the manuscript of my cousin’s writings. She then informed me that MANA would be very happy to assist me in the publication.
From there the process started with the signing of a contract, establishing cost, deadlines, etc. I was extremely happy with the smoothness, suggestions, and punctuality of how MANA coordinated the work. I was open to whatever ideas for improvement that was provided. I was most impressed with the personal assistance I was given.
During the process, I truly felt that MANA understood how I felt about the publication and all my concerns were addressed. The book was finally published and exceeded my expectations. I would describe MANA as a publishing company with its main goal is to help a new author publish her work with dignity, compassion, and dependability.

”As a child, I loved collecting notebooks to write short stories. My mother made sure that my brother and I always had a library in our bedrooms. Reading and writing were very important in our household. As I entered middle school, I learned more about creative writing and how to use it in ways to express myself. Meeting Dr. Fairy Hayes-Scott and her team at MANA Publishing allowed me the opportunity to continue to express myself when publishing my first book, Beige Girl. They gave me such insightful feedback which encouraged me to enhance my work in ways that I honestly couldn’t have thought of on my own. If you are looking to grow as a writer, MANA is definitely a company that can help you do just that!

”MANA is an excellent publishing company. I wrote a children's book. They assisted me step. by step through the process of getting my book published. I received personal service that was above and beyond what I expected. The graphics that I requested for my book were professionally done nd enhanced the quality of my story. All of my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner and to my satisfaction. MANA is committed to its clients.

”My experiences with MANA and RDP were incredible. When I think of the entire process-from early drafts to the actual publishing of my manuscripts--I return to words like professional, empowering, and engaging. With both publishing companies, I was given the most professional and empowering ideas and suggestions. RDP understands what an author is trying to do and works with that author to amplify what is best while fostering even greater work. They are truly unique in their ability to be professional as well as personal and empowering. My books would not be as good as they were without the insight from RDP. Much of the same can be said for MANA. My early drafts were good, but became better as I worked with my readers, who saw my vision and helped me transcend what I had done. What a wonderful experience. Publishing should be about the realization of an artistic endeavor. Both RDP and MANA make that a reality.

”Publishing my memoir, "Forever with Me' with MarketingNewAuthors.com has been such a blessing. After difficult experiences with scam publishers, I wasn't sure if I would ever have the confidence to share my story, but the MANA team (lead by Dr, Fairy-Hayes-Scott) guided me with such patience, kindness, and care. They made everything smooth and timely, offered wonderful ideas for marketing, and even took care of the details for my book signing. Most of all, they honored the memory of my late husband and gave me the opportunity to reach and encourage others widows. I am so grateful for their support, and I truly encourage new authors to place their trust in MANA.
