What Our Authors Say
Don't just take our word for it. Hear from satisfied authors who trusted us with their book formatting.
HMDPublishing was a breath of fresh air. They understand the unique challenges of author marketing and helped me develop an authentic voice that resonates with readers. My follower count isn't just bigger, these are actual book buyers now. When Instagram changed their algorithm last year.
I've been through four different marketing agencies trying to build my author brand, and HMDPublishing finally got it right. They don't just post generic book quotes like everyone else, they actually studied my writing style and target audience to create a cohesive brand identity.
HMDPublishing proved they're different from day one. They actually read my poetry collections to understand my voice before creating any content. The brand identity they developed feels authentically me, just amplified.
HMDPublishing was like finding gold. They understand that science fiction authors need different branding than romance writers or memoir authors. They created a futuristic, tech-savvy brand that perfectly represents my sci-fi novels.
After working with several marketing companies that didn't get author branding, HMDPublishing was exactly what I needed. They took my children's book career seriously and helped me build a whimsical, educational brand that parents and kids both love.
HMD actually understands that historical fiction readers want different content than contemporary fiction fans. They created a brand that feels both scholarly and accessible, and helped me connect with history buffs and fiction lovers alike.
HMDPublishing was a game-changer. They actually understand fantasy literature and helped me build a brand that appeals to hardcore fantasy fans. The visual identity they created looks professional enough for traditional publishing, and the content strategy has grown my fanbase exponentially.
