Here’s what they say about us:

As a new author, I had difficulty navigating the complex world of publishing. Mackwood Publishing Consultants provided exactly the direction and advice I needed. Their experience and professionalism was a welcome relief.  Robert Mackwood developed a road map that saved me time and disappointment, and was well worth the investment.” — DW, Vancouver BC

 

When I needed advice on editing my book, Mr. Mackwood was incredibly helpful. His insights were representative of the kind of knowledge one would only get from years of experience. His perspective on publishing, on book structure, titles and even on English usage helped my book immensely.  I consider myself very fortunate to have found a firm that does such excellent work. MPC was an excellent firm to work with and they knew what an author needs in order to create a great book.” — TT, Vancouver BC

 

I have enjoyed working with Robert Mackwood immensely. He understands and better still, is always ready, to engage in informative and very interesting conversations about the rapidly changing nature of the book industry.” — RP, North Vancouver BC

 

Robert brought invaluable, objective information to our selection of a book publisher. Thanks to his guidance, we doubt shaved months off our search. Bombardier and me felt in very safe hands working with him, and I would recommend his services to anyone.  His reputation in the industry is stellar.” — Andrea Wilde, Wilde Marketing Writing (for Bombardier)
