Glenn Gauthier Author, The A to Z Book     "Sheryn Hara, the originator and engine of Book Publishers Network, is one of those people who make dreams come true.

This combinations of gifts is what keeps an author on track as ‘the possible’ happens, and without delay.

My book, Sacred Trust: The Ten Rules of Life, Death and Medicine, would not be out in the world without Sheryn. She keeps all her promises." Phyllis Hollenbeck, M.D. Author, Sacred Trust: The Ten Rules of Life, Death and Medicine     "I am a novice when it comes to writing a book which has always been my dream. Sheryn Hara held my hand and guided me through the entire process from editing, to distribution and marketing. The final product exceeded my expectations! Now that I am published author, my goal and dream are a reality. Sheryn’s sensitivity and focus were key to the success of my book. From her original price quote to the professionals she referred to me, Sheryn displayed honesty and integrity. I would recommend Sheryn to anyone who has a dream and an idea that needs to reach the public." Bruce Nemovitz Author, Moving in the Right Direction     "When it became clear I needed to revise and reissue my specialty textbook, Parenting From a Distance: Your rights and responsibilities, a friend suggested I contact Sheryn Hara at Book Publishers Network. Without Sheryn’s insight and assistance, the book would have remained out of print. First, Sheryn listened to me until she understood the history of the book, the population it was meant to serve, and the investment I could make. Next, Sheryn worked with her cover designer, interior layout specialist and proofreader to prepare a product ready for production. Then when all was ready, Sheryn sent the work to a printer who provided an excellent finished book at a cost far below what I could have found on my own. Writers who wish to spend their time writing their next book need Sheryn Hara’s Book Publishers Network. She provides one-stop publishing that produces a top quality product without worries and frustrations." Jan Walker Author, An Inmate’s Daughter; Parenting From a Distance: Your rights and responsibiLities; Dancing to the Concertina’s Tune: A prison teacher’s memoir     "I am grateful to Sheryn Hara and Book Publishers Network for making my dream of becoming a published author a reality. When I took a community evening class on publishing for aspiring authors, Sheryn encouraged me to proceed. The Platinum King: Andrew Olson’s Story, which I co-authored with Jan Olof G. Lindstrom, my husband’s cousin in Sweden, took several years to complete. Through those years, Sheryn guided me through the process and gave much-needed advice. She went beyond what I expected from a publisher. I have found her supportive, professional and knowledgeable, and I have enjoyed working with her. The editors, cover designer, and layout designer also provided excellent services. I would highly recommend Book Publishers Network, which I am using for second book." Karen Olson Author, The Platinum King, Andrew Olson’s Story     "Sheryn Hara, owner of Book Publishers Network, had been a tremendous help in makingsure everything was in place for my self-published book, Dressing the Petite Woman. Her many years in the publishing business make it possible for authors to work with an honest, on schedule and dependable person. She was also responsible for directing my book to another pro in the foreign book market. I highly recommend Sheryn Hara." Ellen York Author, Dressing the Petite Woman     "The Alaska Pen: An Illustrated History of Unga was conceived some three years ago in largely hand-written letters among the three co-authors. These contacts evolved into a 250-plus page, word processor-produced text that, with numerous old and faded snapshots, comprised the manuscript submitted to Book Publishers Network for publication. From this point on, Sheryn and her amazing groups of artists, writers, editors and proofreaders worked their magic on a very complicated and convoluted history, transforming the manuscript into a truly handsome book. The cover, produced by Laura Zugzda, is an impressive work of art, blending Unga’s remote location with its principal subjects students. Stephanie Martindale’s layout resulted in a text with pleasing fonts and beautifully outlined and reproduced illustrations. Julie Scandora reconciled a very complicated index, consisting of some seven hundred names, places and things, many of which had multiple listings, with the text. Her skill, accuracy and persistence will be tested and appreciated each time a reader consults the index. There, of course, will be errors it comes with the territory and those who search for errors will not be disappointed: there’s something for everybody! But I believe this book will be accepted with enthusiasm and will fill an honored space in the bookshelves of those who lived the life of Unga and who will cherish the memories we have dusted off." Sheryn Hara and her co-workers at Book Publishers Network deserve our thanks and we heartily recommend them to any and all who seek a competent, professional and most congenial outlet for their memories and their dreams. On behalf of Peggy Arness and Edward Melseth, I want to thank you all and hope that your next project will be just as successful as The Alaska Pen: An Illustrated History of Unga." Thor Lauritzen Co-author, The Alaska Pen: An Illustrated History of Unga     "May I take this opportunity to thank you in writing for all the professional assistance and personal encouragement you have given me to bring this book to national publication and distribution. From the beginning of the process, you have been a prompt, courteous, and invaluable source of information, guidance, advice, assistance, advocacy, and encouragement. You have been magnificent! Your team has been superb as well. Vicki (editor) has been so thorough and accurate; Laura (cover designer) has been so creative and innovative; and Stephanie (text designer) has been so patient and responsive. They have been wonderful. I would recommend you and your team to anyone and everyone." Wayne Anthony Author, The Healthcare Solution     "Sheryn stuck with me through a multitude of frustrations and setbacks but she always remained supportive and never lost faith in me or my writing. Her encouraging but firm guidance got me through the tangles of edits, layouts, graphics and paperwork. Without her keeping the process going, my book would have always remained a dream and not the reality it has become. I could not have done it without her." Cynthia Burkhart Author, The Monkeys at the Top of the Tree     "Thank you for all the help and support you have given to my book, Spongeheadz U & Media. When we met at Book Expo America, I knew I had found a home for my book.     Your organizational skills, your guidance and your non-stop enthusiasm (even when life itself kept interfering with my plans, as it can) are what made it possible for me to finish the manuscript, go to print, and get my book into distribution. I found it easy to rely on your publishing expertise, and can readily see why other writers havebeen so impressed with all you do.     I am grateful that you are my publisher, and will continue to send other writers your way. I know that they will share a positive experience if they are fortunate enough and smart enough to work with you. YOU MAKE BOOKS HAPPEN, thank you." Lynn Ziegler Media Critic Author, Spongeheadz: U & Media     "The group at Book Publishers Network turned a long-awaited dream into a beautiful, tangible reality. Sheryn and her staff were able to steer me, a first-time author, through the rockyliterary waters with an astounding amount of compassion and support. I relied heavily on their expertise to design a wide array of eye-catching and informative pages, including maps and photos, various fonts that represented different speakers, an eye-catching logo and a comprehensive index. If it were not for them, I absolutely would not have a book of such excellent quality today. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and work with this team." Robin Malinosky-Rummell Psychologist and travel writer Author, Bring Your Own Children: South America! A Family Sabbatical Handbook     "Without Sheryn Hara our book would not have happened. Although we had a long term plan to put my client’s story in writing, we needed Sheryn to hold our hand through the process to pull all the pieces together and help bring a complex project to completion.  And wow, did she make it all happen. Sheryn was able to listen carefully to our needs and incorporate a variety of different components into our book -- a very personalized acknowledgement page, pictures in each chapter, and pre-chapter headings that made the book just as we wanted it to be. She was able to draw on extensive publishing expertise and a talented group of individuals to help us produce a high caliber (top-notch) publication. Throughout the time working with Book Publisher’s Network, Sheryn was efficient, thoughtful and most importantly, a true pleasure to work with. She helped create a book that means more to my client and his family than I can adequately describe." Myra Faust, Coordinator, Flight of a Life      "I am very pleased with my book, its cover and with the staff at Book Publishers Network. I have published before but my market was limited. I wanted a book that I can be proud to introduce to a bookstore. This has been it!!!      Sheryn is lovely to work with. She has kept everything on schedule, helping to get the book done for a personal deadline. I would highly recommend Book Publishers Network for your next manuscript!” Pam Kern Author, The Song of the Sparrow      "Sheryn Hara and her Book Publishers Network did an excellent job of producing my new historical novel, Isabella: Queen Without a Conscience. I've worked with many publishers, both traditional and print-on-demand, and none of my experiences went as smoothly as this one, despite a very tight deadline so it would be ready for the PNBA convention. I especially appreciated Sheryn's high standards for the quality of the product, and her recommendations of designers, distributors and marketers. She has an efficient network of auxiliary services." Rachel Bard Author, Isabella: Queen Without a Conscience     "Sheryn Hara and her team pulled our book together in record time. She ensured that our vision for our book was preserved throughout the entire process. Always professional, the quality of work was top notch. Sheryn made the entire experience a joyful one." Chris Hamer Author, Parenting With Pets      "I founded one of the first foster-home pet rescues in the country and, when I was looking for another publisher for my life story that I had already published, I had had enough of this industry. My first book, MY RECYCLED PETS: DIARY OF A DOG ADDICT was in the top 10% of sales with my first publisher, yet they couldn't give me the time of day. They had been more of an obstacle with the success of my book than an asset. But I still had a burning desire to get my messages out to the world and knew I needed a different publisher who would be more involved and caring to make that happen.      I went through numerous agents, managers, publicists and publishers in search of that one-in-a-million fit. When I spoke with Sheryn Hara, she was willing to come to my home, which was unheard of in this industry. When she walked through my door, accompanied by her Lhasa Apso, and spent over 2 hours with me, I was sold! Even after publishing books for 27 years, Sheryn did not have the bleak, limited belief systems that are so prevalent in this industry. We all know what the realities can be, but we have to focus on what we want to create in life in order to make a worldwide impact. Sheryn is a visionary with unlimited beliefs, as well as someone who will be by your side through the entire and much confusing publishing process." Randi Berger Author, My Recycled Pets: Diary of a Dog Addict      "I have had the opportunity to work with Sheryn Hara on two separate book projects and what an invaluable resource. Her knowledge of the book publishing industry is unprecedent in the Pacific Northwest. From coming up with the most effective cover design to editing and layout, her team of experts are unmatched by the top publishing houses in the country. My two controversial political science books have received raved reviews including a consistent five star rating on Amazon.com." Dr. Wayne Perryman Author, Unveiling the Truth and Unfounded Loyalty      "It was a joy to work with Sheryn Hara on our book My Impossible Dream The Story of Chuck Randall. Her team of professional experts, who covered every aspect of the project, as well as her knowledge of publishing do¹s and don¹ts, made the entire experience enjoyable. On a personal level, Sheryn¹s enthusiasm, attention to detail, and encouragement were a constant source of inspiration. We are looking forward to working with Book Publishers Network again." Barbara Kindness, coauthor Author, My Impossible Dream The Story of Chuck Randall      "Sheryn Hara of Book Publisher's Network is a rare individual in the publishing business; she has a wealth of knowledge and expertise as a publisher and a truly caring, nurturing person who puts her heart and soul into her business. I feel fortunate to have met Sheryn and published my books through BPN. I wish that it were possible to clone Sheryn so that every author would have the opportunity to work with her." Jacquie Ream Author, KISS and Forcing the Hand of God      "I came to Book Publishers Network with some experience, having published traditionally and on my own. Sheryn Hara and her team blew me away! The care and detail each person gave my project was spectacular. I ended up with a book that far exceeded my expectations. I've finally found the perfect way to publish that's professional and profitable." Susan Fee Author, Circle of Friends      "Do you know what an ISBN number is or how to get one? How to find a congenial typographer who will give your book a polished, professional look? I did not, but thankfully I was introduced to Sheryn Hara of Book Publishers Network when my company wanted to publish a book commemorating our firm's 70th anniversary. Book Publishers Network took on our project as if it was as important to them as it was to us, and handled the process of turning our words, photographs and ideas into an actual book, a book that we can be proud of. I didn't have to sweat any of the technical details, because Sheryn did that for me. I couldn't be happier with our book, which never would have come to fruition without BPN and Sheryn!" Karin Bagnall Poage Author, Grown In Washington      "As a consultant, my time is my livelihood. Writing a book takes a lot of it but actually getting it published can turn into a very time-consuming process as well. Using Sheryn Hara and Book Publishers Network turned out to be one of my better moves. They helped me get the book done and published in record time in a cost-effective, yet professional manner. I recommend them without reservation to any busy author." Tim Scala Author, Killing Your Company Our goal at Book Publisher's Network is to have satisfied authors. We look forward to reading your manuscript.
