Mascot Books really does an amazing job for the independent author. They have a team of people to edit your book, design and lay it out, illustrate, market, promote, etc. It is a one-stop shop. I have published three books with them and have been very pleased with the beauty and quality of each book...

As we begin the publishing process on our third book in The Adventures of Connor the Cutter children's book series, I'm reminded of how none our successes would have happened so quickly without Mascot Books. Through their independent publishing model, we saved thousands on illustration costs, and ha...

I wanted to wait until my book was published so I could be so elated that I would forget what a horrible experience this has been. When I saw the recent flurry of positive reviews, mostly from children's book authors, I decided the time was right to share my experience. I assumed I was paying for ex...

Horrible experience and they are very unprofessional. I submitted a proposal and they seemed interested. They wanted to set up a time with me to talk about my book. Then it went down hill from there. They asked me a time, I gave them one. They said that will not work so they game me a time and I agr...

I'm a first time author and Mascot Books made my publishing experience very worry free. They are a Hybrid publisher so there are differences between them and that of a traditional publisher, but I very much felt like a partner with them. The team assigned to me to help bring my debut novel and first...

I came to them with my manuscript and my book quickly came to life! They found me an amazing illustrator, edited my story, and pulled it all together! I hope to use their services again for another story that is just sitting hand written in a spiral notebook.

Fantastic print quality at prices competitive enough to keep my job in the US. I'd love for there to have been some sort of physical proof option, and there was some communication issues between departments, but they more than made up for it with very responsive customer service correspondence.

After 16 years of working as an Art Specialist in elementary schools, I've learned that I can effectively distill the creative process without dumbing it down. Hence, in a rec...

For decades I've dreamed of having my mother's stories published but, I didn't know how to go about it. I needed an illustrator and I hadn't a clue how to find one. And I've heard that even if, on the rare chance a publisher likes your book, you lose all control. They basically own the rights so you...
