I really appreciate the help I have received from the Bublish team. I am on my third book now! I love the book bubble tool the best. Their cover design team is amazing.

Working with Bublish has been fantastic. The Bublish team guided us through the process expertly, were incredibly responsive when we hit "bumps" and brought our first "Indie Publishing" project to an extremely successful launch. I recommend them highly!!!!

Working with Bublish has been an absolute game-changer for my book journey with Black Majors: Baseball! Their team is professional, reliable, and truly invested in helping authors succeed. From clear communication to timely distribution, they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and commitment to getting my book into the right hands. I highly recommend Bublish to any author looking for a trusted partner to share their work with the world.

Thanks to Bublish for the outstanding experience I had with them in completing my book. The design and editing work was instrumental in the process of creating my book. Great to work with!

As a first-time, self-publishing author, working with Bublish has been an incredibly positive experience. From the start, Kathy Meis, Shilah, and the entire team were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. The developmental editor not only understood my vision but brought warmth and enthusiasm that made the process truly special. The Distribution Department was outstanding—quick to respond, detail-oriented, and clearly experts in the field. Their AI-powered positioning report gave me valuable insight into my target market. I’m so grateful for their guidance and highly recommend Bublish to any author navigating the publishing world!

I'm sooooo very happy I went with Bublish!!! They have been so helpful every step of the way. For someone like me that is not very tech savvy, this was a GOD SEND. Also, they nailed the cover of my book as though they read my mind. I wish I had gone with them for my first book. They get 5 stars!!!!

I highly recommend Bublish, Inc. to any author who wants to self-publish their book. Kathy (Founder and CEO), Shilah, Veniz and the Bublish team provide professional expertise, artistic creativity, spot-on production and excellent marketing services (including Bublish’s unique Book Bubble concept) for the writer. They know the book business. If you are considering self-publishing a book, or have already done so, I would go first to Bublish for help. “Grandad’s Old Clock, Poems & Memories (second edition)” is the second book I have published through Bublish. It’s a long process, but highly rewarding and the Bublish team helped me every step of the way. From dust jacket design, interior layout, proof reading, editorial help, to channel marketing and distribution, the Bublish team was there to help. Thank you so much.

Review by Berita Martin, author "Fresh Fish Tales"March 1, 2025 was the date my heartfelt goal was realized. I became a published children’s book author. I am so pleased with my decision to select Bublish Publishing. I was a total novice who knew nothing about how to layout a book or what I needed to do for printing a children’s book. I was able to meet in personKathy Meis, Founder/CEO of Bublish and discuss my book project. We brainstormed and she guided me to developing my layout into a suitable children’s book format. Thank you Kathy for taking the time to educate me on what I needed to do.Veniz, with the sales team, was wonderful. She guided me on how to get my original artwork ready for printing. I had many questions and many revisions. She was very kind and very patient with me.Shilah in production was extremely helpful in getting me through the last phase- revisions. Since I wrote and illustrated my book, we shared many, many e-mails to get to the end where I gave my final approval. When all was said and done, I felt as if I had taken a training course on how to write, layout and publish a book. It was quite an education. This wonderful team of professionals pulled me through. Thank you Bublish Publishing foreverything!

Working with the Bublish team has been an incredible experience—Kathy’s visionary leadership, Shilah’s meticulous production expertise, Katherine’s dynamic marketing strategy, and Veniz’s dedicated distribution support have each played a vital role in bringing my book, Diaries of a Borderline, to life. Every step of the process felt intentional and supported, with their collective passion ensuring that my story reached the world with the care and impact it deserves. Bublish isn’t just a platform—it’s a powerhouse team that truly champions authors and their success at every stage.

My husband and I have worked with Bublish for some years now and I can only say, we highly recommend their service. We have been led very professionally from a very engaged team from start to finish and now beyond the book launch. They truly are interested in bringing out the best in you and to create a book that will succeed in a very competitive market. We would for sure choose Bublish again!

My first work as an author was published June 20, 2022 and the time preceding the publication from the onset of our communications, was amazing! The team at Bublish were patient, supportive, understanding and timely in any communications that we had. I would be happy to recommend their company to anyone wanting to publish a literary work.Bethel BarrCrystal Corridor of Light-The Starseed Highway

Kathy and her team helped me navigate the publishing of my children's book, “Where Is Happiness?” in the US. What has been very exciting is they also helped me sell the foreign rights to esofia, a publisher in Greece! With their support the children in Greece are also enjoying this precious book. The past five years have truly been an amazing journey, I could have never done it without Bublish, and I am forever grateful!

As a debut novelist I found it difficult to navigate my way through the maze of self publishing. Enter Kathy Meis of Bublish and all my stress disappeared. She is calm, helpful and very wise. Her staff are fantastic and very responsive. Unfortunately I found Kathy after I had entered the complicated and frustrating web of proof reading and typesetting. For my next book I will definitely use Bublish for that too.

I have worked with Bublish on my first book and I found it to be professional experience and collaboration. Each phase of book publication is supported by dedicated person and I am very satisfied about the outcome. What I really like about Bublish is that it’s possible to choose different elements of the entire publishing process and customize it to individual needs. It is also worth mentioning that Bublish customer service, as well as project management are as of high quality.

Kathy Meis and her staff made a stressful process of writing a book and getting it published so much smoother than I ever thought it would be. Kathy is kind and listens. She is willing to spend the necessary time to get to know the person that she will be writing the book with. She flat out knows how to write. She has the perfect temperament that made me dig deep and write Not only about my successes, but be honest about my fears, anxieties, and failures, and not be afraid to talk about them. If you want a pillar to post Publisher, you will not need to look any further than Bublish. If you are choosing the independent way to write and publish a book, look no further than Kathy.

I just published my 4th book with Bublish. The process from the first consultation to choosing services to building your book is so smooth. They treat you like family and are so supportive.My favorite part is creating the cover and seeing it for the first time! Every cover from them is now a poster on my home office wall and I'm so proud of them.Shout out to Shilah who is with me for each book and so patient. At this point she knows my style and vision as well as I do!Once the books are out, the processes of ordering copies and getting your commission are so easy. I've spoken to representatives of all the departments and love each one. They celebrate my accomplishments with me and encourage me to keep going!Don't look anywhere else if you want to get your manuscript published. This is the place!
