From day one of my vision to honor my darling mom in a book, I had a special inkling about BookBaby. I researched multiple self publishing companies, and BookBaby stood out amongst them all. It has been a challenge filled with anxiety, but it was a labor of love.  Despite my expertise in podcasting, broadcast news, library science and media, I was completely uninformed about the bookmaking world.  The overwhelming process included  poring over photo albums going back in time to the 40s, 50s, and 60s; researching dates, places and names; making layout, templates, graphics, book size  and paper type decisions; and learning to climb the self-publishing mountain .  It was daunting but I was determined. 

Thank goodness for the staff at BookBaby.  Every department pitches in if you have questions - and everyone tries to answer you in a timely fashion.
Thank goodness for Sierra Edwards. 
I cannot rave enough about the clarity, patience, and expertise of Sierra Edwards. She not only explained every detail and issue that I initiated along the way, but she always went the extra mile to respond to questions and concerns.  She is amazingly calm amidst deadline pressure and a fast paced industry. 

She deserves a gold medal…and a trip to Tahiti!  I am happy to answer any further questions about the amazing focus and attention she pays to a very detailed author like myself.  This has been a very personal and passionate book project, and I could not be happier with the result. “Life Lessons from my mom -the Jewish Dalai Lama” is now a stunning tribute to my mother in an elegant, timeless book.

Bravo to Sierra Edwards, Onpress Book Printing  and BookBaby!
