We're Seeing Stars
My experience working with Tellwell was extremely positive. They were extremely transparent the whole way through. They were very attentive, very organized, and they made the process of publishing the children's books extremely seamless. What I enjoyed most about working with Tellwell was the fact that I didn't have to feel like I needed to know anything about publishing children's books. I didn't have to be an expert. I had a wonderful team with a production manager, an illustrator and an editor to help me along the way. And it just worked out really great.

The Adventures of Vylette Bunny and Michie
My experience with Tellwell was spectacular. I was worried about this process and they made it very manageable, very easy to understand. I would say probably what I enjoyed the most about working with Tellwell was the wonderful team behind the scenes that are putting all the pieces together for the book. They answered all my questions when I needed it. They were able to provide me with a lot of adequate information, and sometimes more information than I thought I needed, in getting things put together for the project.

Into the Faerie Lands
My experience working with Tellwell has been great. I feel very taken care of as an author, and they've just been there for me every step of the way. I loved giving them the ideas that I had for the book and then seeing their ideas coming back and working in such a collaborative way. The most meaningful part of publishing my book was opening the box from Tellwell and seeing my beautiful book. And I just love the cover. I love the inside. I think it looks absolutely stunning. And that continues to be one of the proudest things is how beautiful the book is to hold and read.
