What Our Authors Say

Hear from authors who brought their books to life with Scribe

★★★★★
[The Scribe team] made it happen, putting the book together in such a short time frame and then making all of that come to life in such an amazing and professional way, that we can compete with the Princeton Reviews and the Kaplans and the juggernauts in our space without having to go through a major publisher and still keep all that ROI for ourselves.

I was really surprised at how concise it was. […] The person that helped me write the book [at Scribe Media] was just amazing. He was so good. And then the editing process was just so good.

I wasn’t a ‘writer.’ Scribe turned years of workshops into a clear book—and the book turned into credibility, revenue, and relationships I couldn’t have reached any other way.

The amount that we spent on the Scribe project has generated a 10x plus return ever since, if not 20x.

Writing a book is like running a marathon. And so even with the support of Scribe Media, there’s a lot that goes into it. So it’s very time consuming, and it’s also very rewarding. And I think one of the things that people notice is authors tend to write multiple books, just like marathon runners tend to run multiple marathons.

Something that I can tell you now probably because of Scribe and how great an experience it was for me, I am crazily thinking about writing a second book… that is, if I can give a testament to Scribe, there’s no way, if the process wasn’t anything but great, that I would say I want to do this again.

You really have to think about authorship in a decade's game, not a year's game. I'm in my second decade. I'm sure the third decade will be even better because you've built a great reputation over time.

It has really been a pleasure to work with you. The process is smooth, and the result is outstanding. I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone who seeks to publish a book. Hope our path come across again in the future.

When you write a really good human book, people notice. People can tell that this is something different here. And people are going to crave that human touch more and more. The more you can personalize and humanize things, it's actually a great differentiator in increasingly AI-competitive markets.
