Jenni Prisk
Writing a book and publishing a book are two very different exercises. We simply don't know what we don't know, and Pocket Publisher saved me so much stress, self-doubt and second guessing. For a relatively modest investment, I was able to tap into her twenty years of hard-earned publishing smarts, as well as gain access to other Publishing Partner professionals who took my book through design and proofreading and all the way to the finish line.
Anaik Alcasas
Working with Bethany was an absolute pleasure every step of the way. Her knowledge of the publishing industry and feel for writing helped me outline, research, write and publish my book within a few months. Independent publishing is not as easy as it looks. Bethany and her team are responsive, wise and knowledgeable. My only regret is that I didn't hire her as a consultant on my first book!

Miranda Barrett
Friends and even complete strangers seemed to insist that I write a book about the unique situation I found myself in—raising quadruplets. I figured I had all the tools I needed. “How hard could it be to write my memoirs?” I asked myself. After editing and revising my book four times on my own, it was clear then I needed help—and soon.
It was a relief and an inspiration when I discovered Bethany Kelly and Publishing Partner. In tandem with her first-rate team, she has proven to be well-organized, extremely knowledgeable, and a skillful facilitator of my work. Most importantly, she has the rare gift of communicating with confidence and grace. If you are looking for spot-on direction accompanied by encouragement, Bethany is your gal.
Janna Wagner
I had the great delight of working with Bethany and her Publishing Partner team to create a completely updated second version of my book, Teeming. It was quite a job, with many edits and hundreds of footnotes to navigate – plus, they were working with older files and a picky author! I'm happy to say Bethany and her team consistently impressed me with their thoroughness, attention to detail, and care for my wishes. They revised my book in short order and helped me re-launch, as a number one bestseller! If you're looking for a team that knows their stuff and executes with excellence, you'll love your experience with Bethany Kelly and Publishing Partner!
