>> Praise for Jorlan Publishing
"I have self-published six books and this is the first one where I used another publisher and a professional editor. I am very pleased with the results. Lana Jordan and Jorlan Publishing did an efficient job of getting the cover and book interior designed and taking the book through printing to completion. Lana was also the editor for the book and as editor, patient while providing valuable and professional feedback. She made me a much better writer! I have had a lot of feedback on the writing and it has been very positive about the tone and the quality of the writing. I attribute a lot of that to Lana's careful editing and suggestions, while allowing the writing to be clearly mine with my message fully intact. I would recommend Jorlan Publishing to any writer who wants a quality product, effective guidance, and trustworthy service. There are many companies that publish books, but if you want a professional product that you will be proud to distribute, then Jorlan Publishing can provide what you want. I would also highly recommend the editing services of Lana Jordan to help you be the best writer you can be." —Dr. Jane Miner, author of The Guide: Knowing the Plan for Your Life
"Frankly, after months of scouring the Internet and reviewing countless publishing websites, I was left asking myself whether or not I should even attempt to publish my story. Being my first endeavor, I needed more than a marginal cookie cutter publishing formula. Contacting Jorlan Publishing was the absolute best choice I could have made. Lana Jordan provided me with professional evaluation and ongoing guidance (she coaches and brainstorms too!), along with a comprehensive book package that included her exemplary editing services. Exuding integrity, Lana is a gifted publisher!" —Linda Silvestri, author of Clementina and the Hooey-Phooey Circus and Nicolina and the Skinny-Mini Madness
"Thanks, Lana. The book looks
fantastic. Job well done! I'm very impressed by how thorough you are in
everything you do. It's so nice to work with a highly skilled professional.
I'm thrilled with how the book was produced.
Jorlan
Publishing exceeded all of my expectations concerning competence and
professionalism. Everyone at Jorlan was friendly and encouraging throughout
the entire publishing process. As great as all that is, in the end it comes
down to the finished product. In this area, my book turned out better than I
could have imagined. The cover looks great. The interior layout, which I had
worried about to no end, turned out perfect. The binding, paper quality, and
crispness of the printed words are all fantastic. Amazingly, every deadline
set out by Jorlan was met ahead of schedule. By the end of this process, I
was not only glad to have my book in the hands of Jorlan Publishing, but I
grew to trust everyone who worked on the project."
—Jimmy
Murphy, author of The Full Golf Swing: Sequence of Power
"How very lucky I was to discover Lana Jordan and Jorlan Publishing. I had been looking into several print-on-demand companies and I just wasn't sold on what they had to offer. Then I discovered Jorlan Publishing and I knew it was the perfect blend of self-publishing with expert guidance and advice. Because Lana is an author herself, she understands the needs and concerns from the writer's perspective. Plus, she has such wonderful people working with her. Jill Ronsley did a fantastic job designing the book — she was so patient with me and all my changes and questions. Paula Leckey created the most amazing cover for me — everyone comments on how attractive and eye-catching it is. I felt like I had this knowledgeable and supportive team with me every step of the way throughout the publishing process. The best part is that at the end of the process, Lana made sure that I had the PDF files of the interior and exterior of my book, so that I am free to reprint wherever I want to go. I maintained complete control and ownership over my book and now have a book that I am so proud to sell. Thanks Jorlan Publishing — you are fantastic!!" —Cindy Clemens, author of Life Is a Do-Over
"I just
received my postcards, bookmarks, and books from Jorlan
Publishing. From artwork by Bonnie Everett-Hawkes, cover and
layout design by Jill Ronsley, and Lana's organization and
shepherding skills, the people associated with Jorlan
Publishing cannot be beat. Without these folks, this process
would not have been as full of joy, as pain-free, and as fun
as it was. I was very fortunate to have found them. Lana's
explanations were always helpful and clear. Above all, the
folks associated with Jorlan Publishing have great patience
and a sense of humor. I must have had more questions than
anyone ever could; never did they go unanswered; always were
they taken seriously. It was a great pleasure to entrust my
book to this fine group of people. And the results were
fabulous. I am enormously pleased with the way everything turned out, and I
can't stop thanking them or grinning. I recommend their services without
reservation." —Margy Ohring, author of
Cat-House Sonnets
"If you want
to self-publish your book, Jorlan Publishing is a good way to
go. They are so organized and knowledgeable. The personal
interest has been beyond price. The communication is
excellent. The finished product is good quality, and they
stand behind their work. I can't tell you how grateful I am
that I didn't go with POD. I got 100 books instead of just a few
books and lots of cards, posters, and bookmarks—all nice,
but I wanted the books!"
—Beth Shumway Moore, author of Mormon Reflections:
The Path to Mountain Meadows
"Lana, it's my turn to say WOW! I take back all that rhetoric I spouted a few months ago about editors taking away the author's style. It's obvious when someone wants to take me where they want me to go instead of helping me along the way I have chosen for myself. I think that's the difference between how you edit and how others edit; too many editors try to force their own style, but not you. Your work here is complementary to mine, quite the opposite of other editing I have had done. I know my writing isn't the easiest to edit, but you obviously understand my presentation right along with my tendency to add commas and superfluous jargon. If you can edit me this well, then I wouldn't hesitate to let others know that their style will be in safe hands at Jorlan Publishing!" —M.D. Cummings
"I have worked with Lana for almost two years in all aspects of the design and production of The Champion (a monthly 2-/4-color legal journal) and in miscellaneous smaller print jobs. I have always found her to be exceedingly thorough and thoroughly competent. In addition to being well versed in all aspects of publication, she combines a rare and exquisite attention to detail with a large measure of even rarer common sense. My publishing standards are high; Lana has been a consistent asset to me in meeting them and has always demonstrated the willingness and ability required to make the final product ' just a little better.' I recommend her highly to you." —James G. O'Haver, Esq.
