“It’s easy to understand why Dorrance Publishing has been in business for well over 100 years. Having finally finished a five-year labor of love, I wanted to be sure I selected the best self-publishing service to publish and promote my book. I could not have made a better choice. I just received my first copy and am happy to say Dorrance has fulfilled all my expectations. My Project Manager was a pleasure to work with and I’m looking forward to the next phase and future projects with Dorrance.” (June 7th, 2025)

Aspen Odyssey: A Long Strange Trip…
“Dorrance Publishing editing to publishing services were great. They were meticulous in fixing grammatical errors and provided constructive feedback on how to tighten up certain areas. Their suggestions were spot on and helped make my story flow better. The team was approachable and kept me informed throughout the process. I’m happy with the final version of my manuscript and plan to work with them again for future projects.” (May 31st, 2025)

Restoring Myself to the Love that I Am
“Writing a book is by all means a work of art, the most significant attainment an intellect can engineer. But publishing can be a neverending horror movie due to a web of hungry con artists with a big appetite for scamming unwary wordsmiths. Woefully, I became a casualty once, by one of those numbers PageTurner Press and Media LLC (one of their aliases). Thank goodness, after hundreds of complaints, those malefactors were investigated and charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy and the FBI seized the PageTurner website. After such woe and unsure if I should still pursue my passion with the pen, I lost my north and went off-track. But little did I know, Dorrance Publishing Company Inc. was tracking… Divine intervention?
Fact, with over 100 years in the self-publishing business, the track record of Dorrance (founded by Gordon Dorrance in 1920) is unbeatable, impeccable, and unstoppable. Back on track since I completed my first Trilogy and am currently working on my next project. Ultimately, publishing with Dorrance has been the experience of my lifetime, and I am enchanted to go through that process again and again and again, only at Dorrance (and its fantabulous staff), the oldest self-publishing company in the U.S. and the best worldwide.” – (March 20th, 2025)

The Great Revolution Genesis
“Dorrance Publishing met all my expectations! From first contact all the way through to the first author copy received, I was impressed with the timely responses and genuine nature of all involved in the process. While I wished the process was quicker, the attention to detail and customer satisfaction far outweighed the process of getting it done quick. I am working on a second book which I’m taking my time on but Dorrance will be there again for the process.” – (March 6th, 2025)

My Sparkle
“The professional staff of Dorrance Publishing Company were instrumental in helping the author, Phillip Trotwood, realize a lifetime achievement in the publication of The Victory of Sandinismo. There were many edits and changes made to the book, the table of contents, the manuscript, and the arrangement of the photos, and the Dorrance staff did an excellent job. Many persons want to publish a book but are not able to put together the roadmap to the publication, and for that, you need an experienced publisher like Dorrance Publishing Company.”- (January 31, 2025)
