Every book we work on is completed with care and attention to detail, just as though it were our own family history that we wanted to pass down through generations. We’re proud of what our authors think of our publishing assistance:

“We absolutely love the books! They are very well done, professionally and the quality of the book was everything we imagined.”

~ N.Starling, Gertie the Turtle

“When I finished my manuscript of Leaving Laodicea, I had no idea how to get it into a published product.  Hugh took charge, formatting the book for both e-reader and paper copies, designing the cover, and handling publication.  It was a seamless process, and it looks great!” 

~ J. Scott McPherson, Leaving Laodicea

The Founding of Author’s Corner

In 2006, after viewing the Hallmark movie The Reading Room, Bob and Judy Allen were inspired to help others hone their writing skills and turn their publication dreams into realities. Thus, they established Author’s Corner to help burgeoning authors edit and publish their books. Before Hugh and Karen became involved in Author’s Corner, the Allen’s edited or published nearly eighty books and made many long-time and enduring connections with their authors.
