Making Publishing Accessible—and Rewarding—for Everyone

Testimonials

"Dear Ken: I can't thank you enough for guiding me through the publishing process! Working with someone here in town and at hand made the process flow easily. Questions and concerns were always handled quickly. It was nice to be able to see the book as it progressed through each state and not just view it over a computer screen, communicating through email.

"I appreciate your openness to try different things to make the artwork stand out at its best. And I appreciate your patience and understanding in working with a first-time author and a long-time artist who is a bit particular on how her images are portrayed. 

"I had thought this whole process would be long and difficult, but you helped me complete it quickly and with ease!

"I have already heard many wonderful comments about the book! Who knows maybe there's another one in the making."

Deb Komitor
Author of In Honor of My Father

"In late 2005, I was involved in producing a book, Soul Mirror, authored by one of my former students.  I went into the process knowing nothing at all about how to publish a book, and with a list of questions only slightly shorter than the manuscript itself.

"Ken Guentert was a godsend.  He answered all of our questions, didn't laugh at our silly ones, and managed the entire process with smooth professionalism.  I know he saved us money over self-publishing, even after his cut--and I count the money well-spent.  Cover design, chapter headers, formatting, editing, style discussions, to ISBN or not to ISBN--the man knows his business.

"If I come up with anything worth publishing in the future, Ken is my go-to guy.  I've already given his card to several acquaintances of mine who are playing with the idea of publishing a book.  I would highly recommend his company, The Publishing Pro, to anyone investigating self-publication."

"My editor, Ken Guentert of Colorado Springs, made easy reading from my chaotic assembly of chapters and gave my manuscript a bit of flair."

“Ken Guentert of the Publishing Pro, LLC, was very helpful to us at National Little Britches Rodeo Association. He updated our Rulebook for the our printer and was able to help us meet our time schedule. He was cordial and sensitive to our future needs as well as current needs by not only giving us the file in PDF format but also in Quark format. He was able to accommodate our multiple revisions and still get the file to the printer on time. We are very thankful for all his help with this project and hope that we will be able to continue using his services on future Rulebook revisions."

“Ken Guentert is to publishing what a great chef is to cooking. For my book, he took some great ingredients—old neighborhood stories, family photos, traditional recipes, and a splash of ‘Italian attitude’—stirred in the English and served up exactly what I asked for but with more style than I could have imagined. I give him four stars.”

“Everyone in Creede (Colorado) is very impressed with the quality of my book, which pleases me a lot. They love your cover. I have sold 200 copies already, mostly to stores (even to Borders), and even have had a successful book signing. I believe there are a lot more that I can sell more on my own, thereby increasing my profit and paying for the project within two years, which was my goal.”
Mary Schroder
Author of Nicholas Creede and the Amethyst Vein

“Ken Guentert of [The Publishing Pro, LLC] took me by the hand and led me down the labrynthine paths of getting a book to publication. He was patient with my stumblings and kindly showed me where to go and where not to go. I have been enriched by my association with him and consider him a dear friend.”
