TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR AUTHORS

"To my publisher Tom Costello and his team, I say a big thank you. Tom, your words as we started discussing have really motivated me not to relent in my desire to write stories. I thank God that our paths crossed. I am more than pleased with the work you and your team did for me. You all are very professional yet sincere. Julie was more than supportive and patient with me. You made the publishing of this book seem so easy. I look forward to using Word Association in future projects. I have already started receiving excellent feedback about the cover of the book."

Rita Okoroafor
Author of Against the Perfect Will

"When people ask who published my book, I am proud to be able to say…Word Association. They are credible, thorough and available."

Phyllis Plum
Author of From Bud to Bloom

"From Claudia's and my early supportive conversations with Tom Costello to getting our book between covers and into the world, working with Word Association Publishers has been wonderful. We had very particular requirements for our book because of the journal format and the images which were integral to its success. All the "players" in the company -- printer, publicist, the person in charge of mailing the books -- put their skills, their pride and their professionalism at our service. It's been a great experience.

Author of The Land God Chose to Love and Catch the Wind

"Mr. Costello: I have been working with Douglas Dykes in helping get his manuscript, Pursuing Justice for the Injured, ready for publication. I want you to know that my first experience in this process of "getting it published" has been a delightful learning experience.

April Urso has been especially helpful. She has been available to me via phone, which is a much more effective, efficient way for me to work than sending emails back and forth. April never made me feel that I was imposing on her time; she gave me her full attention. I just wanted you to know that I have appreciated her availability, attitude, and helpfulness." - Marguriete Belyeu

"From beginning to end, the staff at Word Association Publishers made the process of writing my books enjoyable The finished product continues to exceed my expectations and I look forward to working with them on all our future projects."

"Julie and Theresa, We just received our printed books in the mail. I just want to thank both of you so much for all of your efforts and great work. You both gave us such customized attention that at times I felt like we were your only clients. Thank you again for superior service and I look forward to working with both of you again on the next few books we plan to publish with Word Association Publishers."

Joseph Hanyon, MHK Attorneys

"I’ve been very impressed with Word Association’s work on my novel; Theresa and then Jason have been in touch with me every step of the way as the book begins to take shape. I’m very excited in seeing the final product."

John R. Dabrowski
Author of To Sup With the Devil

"My books that I have published with Word Association have been the best investment in marketing that I have made for my law office. The return on my investment of time and publishing costs has been exponential. A commitment to education is the most effective and ethical way to market professional services. Working with Word Association’s professional staff has been terrific!"

Vaughan de Kirby, A.P.C.

"I highly recommend Tom and Word Association Publishers. Also, Tom reads everything he publishes unlike some of these bigger companies. Word Association is a smaller company so your work is given more attention. I found that Tom provides the same services as these larger companies and at comparable prices. Also, should you choose editorial services, cover design, interior design with Tom, you can be assured that the people he assigns to your work have the experience, the knowledge, and the ability to create an outstanding book. The other companies offer this too, but you have no idea who is performing the work. They give you nothing so you could be working with someone who flunked out of college. Tom has the names and background descriptions of the people who work for him on his website. He conceals nothing because he doesn’t have to."

Joanne Monte
Author of Blood of a Nation

"Tom, I got the books in the mail yesterday and I'm really pleased with how they came out. I want to commend you and those you work with for the efforts made to turn out a good product. The review and editing of the book were extremely thorough. Even after I approved the final version, April reworked the cover of the book to make it look even better. Thank you for the work you and your organization put into this project, I'll be sure to recommend you should a colleague be looking for publishing services."

Thomas R. Matvey
Author of A Guide to Personal Injury Law in Pennsylvania

"I had a lot of acquisition editors from mid-sized publishers want to work with me. Chemically, however, the fit wasn't there. That's when I made the decision to go with Word Association Publishers. My editor, Dr. Theresa Doerfler, always made judicious cuts. My graphic artist, Julie Csizmadia, showed a willingness to incorporate my abstract ideas into her designs. I can't say enough about them both. My endorsement of Dr. Tom's operation is unqualified and without reservation."

"Dear Tom, I wanted to write to tell you how pleased I am with Word Association Publishers and your fantastic team. As you know, you have been publishing my legal advice books for years, and now you are publishing books for attorneys and other businesses all across the United States and Canada. All of these folks have learned that a book is the most powerful business card ever invented. What most do not know is how easy you make it for any business owner to become the respected authority in their field by writing a book. I would highly recommend that any business owner who recognizes the value in having a book published schedule a short consultation with you so that you can explain to them how even a bunch of very, very busy lawyers has been able to become the respected authorities in their fields and in their locations. Again, thank you for helping me be able to turn ideas into book in a matter of weeks, not months."

"…I seriously looked at fifty publishing web pages. But the thing that struck me about Dr. Tom and his company seemed to be their honesty...when I finish my next book. I'll be sending it to Dr. Tom. He has the credentials...and the concern."

Woody Leonard, Woodward, Oklahoma
Author of Forgotten Star: The Margot Durning Story

"The thing I loved most was that Tom spent nearly an hour on the phone with me. He never lied to me. He never offered false hopes. They (Word Association) are there almost around the clock for you. Word Association is truly (an) amazing company...run by amazing people."

Phyllis Jager, Wordridge, New York
Author of My Starving Skeleton

"Working with Word Association has been an extremely rewarding experience, and I am looking forward to working with them again on my next book. He (Tom) and his staff were always..pleasant and courteous now matter how far-fetched my questions were."

Patricia Coleman Cobb, Duluth, Georgia
Author of Angels in the Mud

Kathleen E. Brush, Ph.D., Vice President Marketing, Rogue Wave Software


I highly recommend Dr. Tom and Word Association Publishers...if he does the kind of work for you as he has done for me, you will be very pleased. They did an excellent job.

Dr. Hedayat

"It is my opinion that no one needing a publisher should discount the expertise of Dr. Tom Costello. As a first-time writer, neither of my many simplistic questions ranked an elementary response from him but was addressed in a timely and first-class manner. As a result my second book, My Blind Date, will also be published by Word Association, so look for it on their website shortly after the New Year." Sue Ellyn Barton
Author of Throw It in the Creek

"Tom Costello at Word Association is very good. He runs a small shop but they do great things. I would highly recommend them.They can also help with editing, book cover, etc. But they leave all the decisions up to you, which is great. My book has sold several thousand copies and I receive many comments about the professionalism of the design, layout and print."
