"To publish my first book, I found with Chisom and The Publishing Pad exactly what I was looking for: knowledgeable, competent, diligent experts in all the steps needed to bring my book from complete draft to published product. The editing work was very thoughtful and comprehensive – pointing out ways to make the whole message tighter and clearer. The Publishing Pad folks are experts at navigating Amazon, Kindle, and IngramSpark to complete the publishing process and get the books (e-book, paperback, and hardcover) available for sale. The layout, indexing, and cover design work was also very high quality. Chisom was quick to respond to my questions, and always met her deadlines. Chisom was also a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Chisom and The Publishing Pad to other authors looking for professional assistance publishing their books."

Author of Writing Business Decision Papers
“Chisom Ezeh is my book publisher. When I hired her to help me publish my book, I was nervous and didn’t have a big vision for the book. I thought I would only quietly release an ebook. She encouraged me to think bigger. To dream bigger. To tell the world my story because so many people needed to hear it and not just my inner circle. Chisom guided me through the final manuscript by making sure my messages were clear, my voice and personality shined through on paper, and helped me gain confidence to know that my book was worthy enough to be published. She was simply amazing throughout the entire process. Thank you The Publishing Pad for an amazing book journey! If you are thinking about writing and publishing a book and don’t know where to start or to do next, definitely schedule a consultation with Chisom. She can walk you through the process and ensure you have a successful book launch.”

“Chisom Ezeh, the Founder and CEO of the Publishing Pad, knows her business inside and out! To get my latest book, CECELIA BY MOONLIGHT, up and running, I needed someone with her thorough knowledge of the publishing industry -- that and her COMPLETE grasp of the myriad, computer-based skills necessary to get a book designed, edited, and into the marketplace. And in Ms. Ezeh, I found exactly the Pro I needed! Chisom Ezeh is not just deeply competent; she's also warm and caring, attentive to every detail, and remarkably patient -- a natural-born encourager. If I made any mistakes in the process -- and I assure you I did -- she was there right away -- with a smile and a rock-hard commitment -- to help me repair them. Still have some residual negative feelings about self-publishing? GET OVER THEM! Proven competence, combined with personal warmth, patience, and a genuine passion for the book publishing adventure, is what all writers need and yearn for. You can either wait around for the Big-City hotshots to discover you or search for -- and find -- a person with the skills and devotion you need. I was no longer willing to wait for Corporate Approval. As with my first two books, I knew this book was well done. I wanted it to be available to avid and discriminating readers. All I needed to do was to find someone with patience, my sky-high standards as a writer, and a passion for helping me make my book a reality. And you DID it, Ms. Ezeh! Chisom Ezeh, and her Baby, The Publishing Pad, ROCK!”

Author of Conversation About Being a Coach
“I contacted The Publishing Pad for support for the part of my book post-production to get it on Amazon. What I didn't expect is that my book designer would pass away weeks away from our publishing date with still a few edits and not the final copies for the eBook or the softcover. The Publishing Pad stepped in and made me feel so relaxed as they took over getting my files ready for print and for the ebook, uploading them, taking care of all the Amazon pieces of the book and joining me for our celebration virtual Launch. They are professional, very knowledgeable, very easy to work with and truly a must-have company for anyone wanting to self-publish with ease.”
Diana Lockett
Author of The Call to Freedom
“I recently worked with The Publishing Pad to proofread, edit, and upload my first book on Amazon KDP and Ingram, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was incredibly attentive and responsive, answering all of my questions and making sure that the final product was exactly what I envisioned. Chisom in particular went above and beyond practically holding my hand along the process and ensuring that we put out a high quality product. Upon launch, my book made it to #1 in new releases on Amazon in 2 of the 3 categories we submitted for! I would highly recommend The Publishing Pad to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality publishing partner."

“We had a fantastic experience collaborating with The Publishing Pad. They went above and beyond to deliver top-notch proofreading and formatting for our book. What stood out was their excellent communication and dependability during the entire process. The Publishing Pad was also incredibly proactive, checking in on us even after their work was done to make sure our publication process went smoothly and offering their assistance whenever needed. I wouldn't hesitate to work with The Publishing Pad again and highly recommend their services to one and all!”

“If you're an author who is eager to publish a book, and you don't wish to wait months to hear back from publishers after sending out publishing queries, and you're considering self-publishing, --do yourself a favor and contact The Publishing Pad. They will read your book, edit it (if needed), design a cover for it, and essentially, get it ready for publishing on Amazon in any format that you desire. I went to Publishing Pad with a memoir, and they took care of the details related to formatting my book's cover, and uploading the completed book to Amazon in two different formats. ,When that process went smoothly (relieving me of the headache that I would have surely experienced had I done it on my own), I had them publish another book for me. This time in the process there were a couple hiccups, but the issues were patiently addressed and corrected. I have several other books that I would like to publish, and it's truly a good feeling to know that when I'm ready to proceed with the rest of them, I will be in good hands with the Publishing Pad!”

“Working with Chisom and The Publishing Pad was wonderful! She was supportive, timely, and thoughtful in helping me get to the finish line. I 100% know she made my book come to life, and was such a pleasure to work with. Navigating big stuff with publishing and little things in editing went so smoothly -- thank you TPP!!”
Bina Patel
Author of Say The Quiet Part Out Loud
“Chisom is the absolute best. She was able to help me format by book, which had over 200 illustrations, in both Word and InDesign. She is a technical savant when it comes to software. Plus, she knows the ins and outs of the book industry, which made my life much easier when I came to her with my million specific questions. If you're looking for a true professional, then look no further.”

Author of The Idea Space: The Science of Awakening Your Non-Self
“OMG!! Chisom is amazing. I'm so, so grateful to have found her and worked with her on this project! I knew I needed a lot of different professionals to pull this book off (designer, editor, indexer, etc) and I hated the idea of wrangling all these folks into my book (did that about 10 years ago!). Chisom and the Publishing Pad were my one-stop-shop for it all!! Chisom was fast in responding and in executing what needed to be done, and in handling all the back end getting the book up on various platforms. I just can't say enough about her and her work. I highly recommend her!

“Working with Chisom was great from start to finish. She had a lot of patience with me, and made all the tweaks that I could have requested. I would highly recommend her for anyone, looking to get their book, published professionally! I will be doing my second book with her as well!”
Raeanna Layfield
Author of Forage and Eat with the Seasons
“We hired Chisom to help us copy edit and launch a new book in the Health & Wellness space. This was a completely new process to me and Chisom provided fantastic service & support throughout the entire process. The book was 60,000 words and required a lot of editing, for which Chisom was very patient and understanding about. Then when it came to getting the ISBN's, creating the book layout, cover, uploading it to Amazon & IngramSpark, she managed everything exceptionally well. I would highly recommend Chisom to anyone wanting an expert for copy editing and book launches, especially for Amazon and IngramSpark. She's also a lovely person to work with.”

“Two years ago I set out on a mission to get my husbands five manuscripts into print. I knew nothing about the publishing industry but I was reading that being an indie author was trending so we decided to go that route. I searched around and found The Publishing Pad. With Chisom's guidance and expertise we were able to launch the project. She directed us in every step and offered excellent suggestions. Thank you Chisom for your hard work and guidance which lead us to reach our goal of getting those five manuscripts into print.
