Testimonials

Like many first-time authors, I was dreading having to go round agents and publishers trying to sell my Manuscript and having had a bad experience with a so-called Vanity Publisher in the past, decided just to put my typescript in a drawer and forget about it. It came as a complete surprise to me therefore to see that a company called 2QT had established themselves not 10 miles away from where I live and invited would-be authors to attend a get-together. This I did, and was pleasantly surprised with what I found. I got my manuscript read gratis, having a year or two ago faced a 3-figure sum elsewhere for the same reading service with no guarantee of getting an agent or publisher. From the initial submission to 2QT around September 2010 to receiving delivery of the finished books on the Queen's birthday was no mean achievement by Catherine and the printers. I was particularly thrilled by Hilary who designed a cover for me which in my opinion must be the book's greatest on-shelf sales aspect. I was and still am, knocked out by the quality of everything about the book, and any minor glitches were were quickly rectified by Catherine. Anyone who wants to see their book in professional-style print could not do better than get in touch with Catherine at 2QT."
