After researching different publishing companies I decided on Xlibris. I felt the price was reasonable and after many years of contemplating on publishing my book, I am happy with my choice. The staff who worked with me were very kind, professional, and helpful. No one has ever read my book "Life of a mental health worker" until now, just saw it listed on Barnes and Noble. They are designing a web page as a gift for two years and I just received my copies in soft and hard covers in time for Holiday gifts, very pleased. The only negative thing I encountered was a phone call saying it is very important to get recognized and advertising for my book followed with needing $7000 plus to do this, a bit of pressure but I declined. Another call from another staff saying to get my book out there she can do 2 or 3 podcasts with popular people, thought she said $699, so I said send me the info, was interested. Got the info, 3 Payments of $600 plus so again I declined. So I guess I will try to promote my book through social media, if not a big hit at least my family can read it and pass it down to my grandkids and generations to come. I have a 2nd book I may also publish, I plan to use Xlibris again when I'm ready.
