“The publishing process was essentially the same as with the traditional publisher that picked up my book. My learning curve with FriesenPress is what made the process with the traditional publisher smooth and easy. I don't think I'd be where I am if it wasn't for FriesenPress.”

– Lee Know, Author of Life: The Epic Story of Our Mitochondria

“I have made a living as a writer for 37 years in both Canada and the United States and dealt with many, many publishers – but none as thoroughly professional as the people at FriesenPress. They are the future of book publishing in Canada.”

– Robin Brunet, Author of Red Robinson: The Last Broadcast

“I have published four children’s books with FriesenPress and can’t say enough about their expertise and professionalism. Outstanding layout & design rival those of traditional publishers and generate ongoing compliments.”

– Trish Hammond, Author of 4 FriesenPress-published children’s books
