“I was impressed by how quickly Dan responded to my inquiry and how he and the designers produced a hard-cover book exactly as I had hoped it would be. Dan was in touch with me regularly about the progression and, although I made several changes along the way, he was always happy to help and keep me informed. I would definitely recommend My Stories Matter. I now have 4 beautiful hard-cover books to share with my family.”

-Peggy

“I wrote my life story and then came the dilemma, what comes next? I wanted someone to take my already written manuscript to the next level and beyond. I thought my story was pretty good but I recognised that I needed help to fine-tune my words into a book that was fit for purpose. I struck pay dirt when I stumbled across My Stories Matter a U.S. based company. They seemed to offer exactly what I needed. The collaborative approach that My Stories Matter adopts allowed for me to review their work as it progressed, making suggestions and rejecting or accepting what they delivered. There is something rather special about receiving the final copies of your book. The difference between the first and final offering totally justified my decision to partner with My Stories Matter. I ended up with a finished product that is easy on the eye, readable and supports the decision to publish my story.”

-Trevor
