Author Testimonials
These are just some of the glowing testimonials we've received from authors on what makes Wildling book services--from editing to design to production to marketing and publicity--highly valuable for new and experienced authors alike!
I found the editing process to be everything I wanted and more. I felt respected and challenged, and that my intentions as a writer were completely understood. My manuscript became more and more polished--and closer and closer to my ideal--with every pass.
After 3+ rounds of careful, thoughtful edits, proofreading, design, and marketing, I am two weeks out from publication and feel so thankful that my debut novel ended up at Wildling Press.
–-Ali Gordon, comedian, performer, and author of We Have Reached the End of Our Show
After I finished my debut novel Murder Leads To Marriage, I had absolutely no idea what to do next. A friend introduced me to Wildling Press, and am I ever glad they did. Wildling did all the editing of my book, and their professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch. They also designed the cover for the book, and it managed to capture the essence of the story behind the book. Wildling Press took what I had written, and brought it to life. I would highly recommend Wildling Press.
--Shannon Peeples, author of Murder Leads to Marriage
The most incredible thing about working with Wildling so far has been the editing process. The team obsesses over quality, communicates clearly, works meticulously, and absolutely will not let you get away with anything mediocre. In the brave new world of indie publishing, your manuscript will need this kind of tough love to shine.
--Perin Gürel, PhD professor at Notre Dame and author of Laleh and the Language of the Birds (2026)
Now, my few hundred words have been turned into a lavishly illustrated, award-winning picture book that I'm proud to have my name on. Now, people know Silas. Wildling's editing, their design, and their marketing and publicity teams, all of their services are what made Silas work. I couldn't recommend the team highly enough!
--Joel Shoemaker, librarian and award-winning author of Silas on Sundays and Silas on Stage (2026)
If you're a writer looking for the assistance of indie-publishing professionals who will offer you both compassion and a fierce love of detail, then look no further than Wildling Press. I've worked on two books with their team to date, and somehow I'm still surprised by the precision of their work and the kindness with which it's communicated. So, if you feel like you have no idea what you're doing, worry no more, because they do!
--Kara Badalamenti, author of the Cursed Coven series and Phantom
