When I started searching for a publisher or book agent, a friend of a friend highly recommended Rebecca and RHG. I called RHG and spoke directly with Rebecca. She informed me of the options and my initial reaction was “EEK!” Even the least expensive publishing package was a big chunk of money for my budget.
I asked for some time to think about it. Over the next couple of days, I vacillated between “I really want to do this” and “I can’t afford to spend that much money.” After a lot of thinking-about-it meditations, “I really want to do this” won . . .
. . . and I’m glad it did!
Here’s the thing to consider: When day is done, will you look back and think, “I wish I would have?” If the answer is, “Nah, it’s not that big of a deal,” then publishing is probably not the path to go. If, however, your thinking is, “I really do want to get my thoughts published,” then go for it!
Years ago, I self-published a book with a different company; not a great experience. While the initial cost was less than with RHG, I got zero service, zero help, zero editing, zero guidance from them. The result was mediocre, and for my investment, I was looking for “WOW!” I didn’t get that from them. I did get “WOW!” from RHG.
Rebecca personally walked me through every step. She held my hand through all the forms, through all the techy-stuff that made my eyes glaze over. All this to say that Rebecca, on behalf of RHG, took a personal interest in my publishing journey. Not all publishers do that, and I can’t emphasize enough how important that is.
The end result was a Best Seller, and at day’s end, I can smile and say, “WOW! I’m glad I did it!”
