What People are saying about Star Publish LLC...
— From the Director of the New Vendors’ Department of Borders, Inc. "We do not place POD books in
our stores. In fact, they often cannot even be special ordered unless they are prepaid by the customer who is ordering the
book. However, we are glad to have Star Publish books on our shelves. They are good quality books, and they are returnable,
so we are placing them in our database so any store can order and stock them."
Testimonials From the Star Publish Authors | |

"I contacted Star Publish last May when I had a deadline
for the publication of my debut novel, Crestmont. I had no knowledge of the publishing business and relied heavily
upon T.C. McMullen’s patient and thorough answers to my questions. She was generous with her time and complete in her
answers. After speaking with both T.C. and Janet Elaine Smith I decided to sign with Star.
The all-encompassing package Star offers met
my needs exactly. Star was sensitive to me as a new author and to my wishes as far as the formatting and appearance of Crestmont.
Their expertise led me step by step through the publishing maze without me having to deal with details I could not have handled.
I appreciated that the primary concern was for the author. There is no hidden agenda here. Star wants you, the author,
to succeed. In my case, I have a book published by Star Publish LLC that I am proud of. "
—Holly Weiss, Author
of Crestmont ISBN #978-1-935188-10-0
T.C. McMullen, new owner
of Star Publish LLC, goes the distance for her authors. Not only does she excel in custom illustrations for book covers, she
is acutely aware that the Devil is in the details. My book Wai-nani, High Chiefess of Hawaii is riddled with strange
words and punctuation alien to modern technology. TC took the time to remedy this situation for me.
—Linda Ballou - author of Wai-nani, High Cheifess of Hawai'i: Her Epic Journey
Kristie,
I think of what it must be like for you. Each individual author is completely wrapped up in getting their own baby born and
you have to midwife author after author after author. I have this image of your running from room to room as contractions
occur trying to assess where everyone is in their birthing process. My hat is off to you as you make it look effortless, but
I know better. I know you work hard at what you do but truly, you make so many first time authors so happy. Just want you
to know that as you burn the midnight oil.
—Muriel
- author of The Chronicles of the Savannah River Dolphins
Kristie - just took delivery of 4 copies
of the book. It looks sensational - as good as the top of the line paperbacks in the big book stores. Thanks again - great
job! Janet
- you were the major factor in me joining Star Publish. I think you are doing an amazing job in getting our books into brick
and mortar stores. I am looking forward to my title being in the Shooting Star Books Program.
—G.M. Masterson - author of Alexander:
Hall of the Gods
I wouldn't want any other editor--you (Janet Elaine Smith) are the best!!!

I received my first shipment of
"HIGHWAY HYPODERMICS: TRAVEL NURSING 2007," and I am AMAZED at the job that was done by TC, Janet,
and Kristie in formatting and editing!!! GREAT JOB GANG!!!!

Kristie,
You have done it again. When I saw the cover you created for my book "Pampas," I was delighted. You come up with the greatest cover
ideas. I firmly believe that you CAN judge a book by its cover. Every time
I see a new one, even though they are re-releases, I fall in love with my
books all over again. Thank you so much for loaning your creative mind to
my covers.
—Janet Elaine Smith - author of 15 Star Publish books
The editor on our manuscript, "Les Goldberg, Living Judaism My Way," did a great job. Without her, I would have to
go back and take an English class. Thanks
— Lee Riggan (collaborator for Les
Goldberg: Living Judaism My Way)
I just received my copies of "Faithful Legacy." I am elated!
—Michael

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and loving care of my book, "Julie
& The Lost Fairy Tale." I want to commend you for your professionalism. Sometimes writers have a conflict with their own
creative works and that of those they represent, but not you, you were focused on me and my book. Kudos to you Kristie Leigh
Maguire!
—Janie Lancaster - author of Julie & The Lost Fairy
Tale
I went with Star Publish for my memoir, "Blood Tastes Lousy With Scotch," because I wanted complete control over the
book, which I received. They now are offering a marketing program which rivals anything even the traditional publishers have...my
books are SELLING, they are being STOCKED in several bookstores and this is ONLY the beginning! So, if anyone needs a referral
to a POD company, Star Publish IS THE place to go. Having been in this biz since the birth of the POD industry way back when,
I can honestly say, Star says what it does, and DOES what it says!

Kristie
and Star Publish ARE darn well worth it! Let the quality of Star Publish take
your sales to the place where only the sky is the limit! I made enough with my first Star book, not only to publish my second
Star book with nothing coming out of my pocket, and even have some left over for paid advertising. For the first time
in my publishing career, I am in 'the black' with my Star Publish book. Who will I use for my next book? Star Publish, of
course!

I am your Number One fan at Star Publish! You go, girl!
—Georgia Richardson (aka Queen Jaw Jaw) - author of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the
Throne
You aren't a rising STAR, Kristie. Your STAR
has already risen!
—Peggy DePuydt - author of Havasu Heat
Thanks
for all your help, Kristie! You're the best! You and Star Publish are innovative...cutting edge...when it comes to the publishing
game. I am glad that the "Stars" (pun intended) led me to you for the publication of my book! I like dealing with a person
who always has "one face" instead of a presenting different face depending upon what day of the week it is.
—Monte Lyon - co-author of The Great Mormon Conspiracy and author of Emotion: Master
or Servant?
Kristie gathers "the best"
around her. This is just her normal way of doing things, something she's always
done. There is nothing new in the publishing world excepting, perhaps, nuance,
real support and star quality. In that sense, STAR PUBLISH is all new, brand
new. Kristie chooses STAR-Authors, STAR-books, nurtures them and continues to care for them and promote them long after the signature on the contract is dry. STAR
is perfect for an author with little or no time, little or no expertise in
the publishing process, an author who wants to both control her book and profit from it, too.
