Precocity Press -

From the initial meeting on, everything has been smooth and easy working with Susan and Precocity.

I had a quarter complete manuscript and Precocity helped develop that into my first book.
It was a whirlwind and most of the times I had no idea what I was doing, but Susan walked me through step by step by step -- never condescendingly; always with support and encouragement.

To be completely honest, I don't know if I'd want to write a book again. It was on my bucket list and a dream of mine, for sure -- but that actual book writing part was more challenging than I had ever anticipated. Thankfully, when I was stuck, Susan's team helped me get unstuck and moving. Precocity made things as smooth and easy as possible, every step of the way.

I'm forever grateful for Precocity for making this dream a reality. I wholeheartedly would recommend any author to work with Susan. If you're still unsure, take advantage of the initial 30 minute session. I was recommended Precocity by a trusted colleague, and was unsure until I spoke to Susan.
Once you start, you'll never look back and you'll never regret taking this adventure on with Precocity!

I simply could not have had the outcome I had with my new book without Susan Shankin and Precocity Press.

Why do I say that?

Susan was consistently helpful and knowledgable every step of the way. And, she gave her honest opinions - which turned out to be so right. She found me an artist to design the cover of my book that was perfect and more than I could have ever envisioned. Working with her is like working with a new friend; she is engaged, responsive, knowledgeable and connected.

As a first time author - I needed it. I just dropped some books off at a local bookstore "Beautiful" is what the owner said of the book. Susan designs gorgeous books that resonate with what the books messages advocate.

Susan Shankin is brilliant and a joy to work with. As an art director, she aligned her vision and expertise with my book so that it came fully to life on the page. This was a complicated project: Susan worked with great diligence, passion and inspiration to seamlessly interweave images with the text. The synergy was magical and the book is truly beautiful. Even people who have read the manuscript are stunned by the richness of the book. I am so grateful to Susan for her genius and the love she pours into her work.

I just published a book through Precocity Press, "The Evolution of Life: Big Bang to Space Colonies" and I would like to share my experience. Susan and her team did an outstanding job with proofreading, graphic design and formatting. The end result is a very professional, high quality book. Throughout the whole experience I never felt that I had lost control of any aspect of the books production. It was truly a collaborative effort.

Regarding "The Adventure of Sockboy". I had no idea of the method involved or what to expect. I had worked so hard writing and painting and I was walking into this final phase with great uncertainty. I found the process to not only be very thorough but at times even fun. Through the zoom meetings I could see the refinement of my books flower into well polished works. They both told me right from the beginning that I as the author had final say and put all my worries at ease. We didn't change much, and the changes were subtle but effective enough bring the full meaning of my work to light. They also told me the reasoning behind their advice instead of just saying do it like this. I was informed at every step of what was happening and never had to wonder what was going on. I found the experience so agreeable that I went through them for my second book and will also for my third. I'm very grateful.
