“Aaxel exceeded my expectations. They came highly recommended to me… and I now highly recommend them myself. First class knowledge, communication, strategy, and execution!”

– Jon Ostenson, Author of Non-Food Franchising

“This company was a complete joy to work with. They made the whole process of publishing my book so easy and I knew that at the end of the entire process I was going to have something I was proud to put my name on. The Aaxel Author Group defiantly showed me that they cared about my project just as much as I did. I knew that I was in good hands and in the right place.”

– Hareena Kaur, Author of Ameera’s Song

“I was looking for a one-stop shop to help coordinate the diverse aspects of publishing, including: proofreading, cover art, layout, design, etcetera. I interviewed 5 such agencies. All were similar in terms of pricing and services, but Aaxel was the only one that made a point to ask me how long I’d been working on writing and particularly on revision. Aaxel made me feel like they cared about the quality of my book and not just snaring me as a client. And that was the experience I got. Clear communication, responsive to my questions, quick to make mistakes right and fantastic follow through.”

– Neal Holtschulte, Author of Crew of Exiles

-Leslie Mitchell Assini, Author of Hudson Has a Choice

“When I started out a year ago, I was looking for guidance in self-publishing and was intimidated by the industry. With all its complexities and nuances it can be overwhelming, and even after watching YouTube videos and reading countless articles I was still lost. However, Alexa and her team of professionals proved to be more than capable in their jobs–they are conscientious, insightful, and resourceful in their fields of publishing and marketing, going above and beyond what was expected of them. I highly recommend!”

-Alan Creed, Author of the Dreadful Series

“When it comes to publishing a book, writing it is the easiest part. The entire process is complicated and can be very stressful. However, with Alexa and her team it felt as though everything was done for me. I am truly grateful for all the help I received and the finished product. I’m lucky to have stumbled upon her company and luckier to have had her help. Five stars aren’t enough!!”

Alexa and her team helped walk me through each step of the process, guiding me, advising me and getting me all the way to the finished product.

-Jodie Gochnauer, Author of Gift of the Swan

“I walked into the dream of my book with great passion, an even better manuscript and almost insurmountable self-doubt. Alexa and her team not only edited and formatted my book but encouraged me to overcome my insecurity by pushing me to give even more than I thought I could. The negative space of knowledge I had regarding getting my book published and coordinating my marketing, social media and website was skillfully filled. They were brutally honest and professional, keeping the hilarious kaleidoscope of my soul’s project on track. I cannot thank them enough and look forward to working with them again.”

-Tammy Mayhew, Author of My Suite A$$

“I had a dream since I was a child of being a published author, but I ‘back-burnered’ it for many years as I worked full time and raised two kids. I decided this was the year I made that dream a reality. I felt immediately overwhelmed with the daunting task of self publishing. I figured, if I waited this long, I wanted the book to be a huge success. Enter the Aaxel Author Group…From day one I was greeted with praise, guidance, support and a huge boost of confidence in this process. I never felt overwhelmed or defeated in navigating the uncharted territory of the publishing world. Instead, I felt excited and well informed. Between the beautiful and professional web design, to the carefully crafted school and media kits to the gorgeous book that I now see in front of me, it’s been pure joy…I cannot speak highly enough to their strengths and I am forever grateful to them!”
