Review Time
First and foremost, my book took me seven years to write. Besides, it consisted of the memoirs of one of the Pope's top ten exorcist priests, the exorcist was one who travelled the world performing his work, so it took time for him to pass me information by means of a digital recorder. The book was 450 pages long and required research and loads of correspondence with other authors pertaining to the subject to quote extracts which, backed Fr Elias's experiences. The Manhattan Awards tempted me to try and acquire appreciation that I believed Fr Elias deserved. The exorcist died two years before the book went on the market, so he only saw it as a manuscript.
I am entirely segregated in Malta because I write in English not in Maltese. I prefer this option from as early as when I was 17 years old, because there are no poetry or literary magazines here. Only 500,000 people read in Maltese and most of them still prefer English. The real big market is in over 270 countries whose first language is English. So when I won the Bronze Award, it means much more than winning the local Book Club prize. I always thought that being a big fish in a small pond does not determine how good a writer one is. In the long run every competition I won was among some of the greatest writers. Thank you Minstirmedia for creating this award. It suffices to say that the news media ignored this book completely. But who needs the local media anyway when you can shine abroad.
I have worked with several other PR agencies and to be honest, my expectations as a result were low. Still, I needed help giving my new novel some visibility. I try to be realistic and I do understand that the product must be good for starters, and then there is a bit of luck, timing, and great effort in trying to draw attention to it in a crowded field of readers’ choices. It is a challenge, no question. However, I’d heard good things about Mindstir and decided to give it a try.
Well! Mindstir changed my mind about my low expectations as they quickly dug into the contours of my reading market and blasted the media with notice of my book and its strengths. With targeted press releases and social media placements, Mindstir raised the visibility of the book and placed it strategically where it might most likely be noticed.
I was able to use that exposure and credibility to approach bloggers and set the stage for potential readers to see that this was a book that came with great reviews, endorsement, and credibility.
I could not be happier with the work done. It was well-worth the cost. You will not be disappointed. My most recent work with Mindstir occurred this past December as we continue to probe the Book market for opportunities.

I’ve enjoyed my time and dealings with MindStir Media. I found them honest, reasonable, and above all else they’ve been responsive. I’d recommend MindStir to other authors who want to see their book available on Amazon and other sites.-Frank Sullivan Sr.
Umm well I got clear guidance from the beginning. Second, any mistake or issues were correctly immediately. Third the people working on my project were friendly, helpful and genuinely cared about my success. Every step felt supportive and I finally feel like a proper published author with a team I can rely on.
As a first-time author, I found trying to find a publisher an arduous process. Mindstir Media was a beacon of light in a sea of "gray" publishers. They focused on me and my book. No sales pitch and they offered to read it first to decide if it was a good fit. I was impressed with how Kimberly took the time to understand me and my goals and was honest and collaborative on tailoring the best options for me. Once I signed, everyone was very professional and helpful and managed my expectations and timeline proactively. They provided a project manager ( Bryna is excellent) and web portal so I could communicate and keep updated. They managed all the launch details and never pushed or sold anything. It was always honest collaboration on what are the pros and cons on any step we took and that is what separates Mindstir form the others. I have even received a mentoring call from JJ ,the owner with more scheduled. I give Mindstir my highest recommendation for any author out there trying to navigate the sea of uncertainty and dishonesty when trying to publish a book. Well done team!!
The illustrations for my children’s book were beyond what I imagined. Each character looked exactly how I pictured them and really brought the story to life. Seeing the final pages made me emotional because it felt like my story had finally come alive. Kids in my family love flipping through it again and again. The team was patient and super creative.
Working with MindStir Media on my book has been nothing short of incredible. From day one, their team has shown unmatched professionalism, creativity, and genuine passion for helping authors succeed. Bestselling author and CEO of MindStir, J.J. Hebert, even personally provided expert mentorship and guidance to me that is invaluable. Every part of the publishing process has been handled with precision and care.As an author, it can be daunting to choose the right publishing company, but MindStir Media has exceeded my expectations at every turn. They've kept communication clear and timely, provided expert guidance, and made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. The cover and interior layout they designed for my book is absolutely stunning and reflects the high-quality work MindStir Media is known for.If you are searching for the best book publisher that will treat your book like their own masterpiece, I can’t recommend MindStir Media enough. They don’t just publish books; they help authors bring their vision to life with excellence.
