A Word with You Press provides editing, publishing and web services for new and established authors.

Services

A Word with You Press prides itself in selecting only the finest stories for publication through our rigorous proofing, editing and publishing process. As most any relationship between an author and their editor is intimate, we work to ensure stories are birthed through thorough proofreading, strong story arcs, excellent pacing, and clear direction and style.

Editing

Editing

We focus on what seems to be the universal weak link with every author: the story arc. Anecdotes, however well told, need to be braided into your manuscript to pull your readers where you want them go.Click here to learn more.

Testimonials

I would like to say a positive word to A Word With You Press. Thorn edited and published my book for couples, Visiting Angels & Home Devils, and it has sold several hundred copies and received many words of praise – both for the quality of the printing and the editing. So thank you for your enthusiastic work on that book. I am now working on three new books and I am sure that you will do an even better job with after six years of experience and the same level of expertise and enthusiasm.
– Dr. Don Hanley, Ph.D., retired Catholic priest, couples counselor and author

A Word with You Press is a studly & garrulous purveyor of stories, a tenacious and independent publisher, a throwback to the tradition of editor-as-collaborator with authors, a finder of talent, a nurturer of soul confessions, warm and generous. Huzzah! Huzzah! May this website attract writers and readers to build a community of voices!
– Jonathan Freedman, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, author and speaker

    I am personally seeing a consistent improvement of emphasis as to the business model side of AWWYP, however, I would be curious, if this were my publishing house, how potential writers considering digital and/or book publication services, are viewing their decision as to AWWYP or otherwise.

    As a writer, seriously considering my options, I would welcome a survey to offer my own positive and negative feedback and your response as to potentially contracting work with AWWYP. In sales I learned that closing a deal is about uncovering reservations and satisfying them. I offer this with positive intent.
