I’m currently exploring book publishing services and trying to figure out which companies are truly professional and trustworthy. With so many options out there, it’s hard to know who actually delivers quality and who just overpromises.

I recently came across American Book Authors, and they seem to offer full publishing support—from manuscript development and editing to design and marketing. Has anyone worked with them before? I’d love to hear about your experience if so.

I’m not sure whether I should go with a full-service book publishing company or hire freelancers for editing and design separately. My goal is to publish a polished, market-ready book that stands out, so I want to make the right choice.

Also wondering—what red flags should I watch out for when researching publishing companies? Do professional book publishers typically help with marketing too, or is that a separate service?

If you’ve published a book before, I’d really appreciate any tips on how to vet a publisher and what steps I should take first. Would you recommend going with a one-stop service or piecing it together on my own?

Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations!
