"Some publishers focus on the benefits of having a book or speed of delivery—both incredibly important—but they neglect that the process should be fun, easy, eye-opening, memorable, and that your best shot at a superior-quality book and experience is with an individual who cares rather than in an assembly-line setting. I love and thoroughly enjoy what I do, and I want you to as well." (C) Copyright 2023 Rodney Miles. All rights reserved. Serving clients worldwide from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

OMG!

Oh my God, I just briefly scanned the book, and I am so in love! You’re f***ing nailing it! I can’t thank you enough for making my vision come to reality.

Really Beautiful

Rodney, This is really beautiful, my friend. It feels so much to me how the book has wanted to feel from the start. Thank you. Thank you. I’m so excited. Love.

Amazing

… Then I thought, Rodney would be the one to know what to do. Rodney is an amazing ghostwriter, editor, and publisher who I’ve worked with for years. What he doesn’t know about creating and launching books on Amazon, Ingram Spark etc., is not worth knowing.

My Book has Opened Doors

You came strongly referred by a CEO. I then found working with you an extremely positive and “painless” experience. You’re a true professional and you made my life very easy! And the final product is outstanding. We created a bestselling book and I am now a bestselling author. It’s elevated me above my colleagues and competitors and my book has opened doors to speaking engagements both nationally in the U.S. and internationally. In fact I am just back from speaking with my book in Costa Rica, Rome, and so many other places. So thank you Rodney for your tireless and never-ending work and support! I could NOT have done it without you!

Truly Cares

I have had the privilege of working along side many professionals and mentors throughout my business journey and I must say that working with Rodney as my book editor and designer has been one of the highlights for me. Rodney is not only brilliant at his craft, he is an incredible human being who gives from the heart and truly cares deeply for his clients and their positive outcome. In fact, he feels more like a friend after the many conversations we’ve shared and I feel grateful that our paths crossed. As you can see, I’m a big fan and I’ve no doubt I’m not the only one that feels this way about you Rodney!
Thank you so very much.

Incredible Service

Thank you, Rodney. Without you the book would never have materialized. You’ve opened a door for me through which many more books will come. Rodney certainly has a way of firing up your creative thinking muscles and getting the best out of your thinking. It’s a sure-fire way to actually getting your message out there and I would like to thank Rodney again for the incredible service he provides.

The Tools and the Courage

Working with Rodney has given me the tools and the courage to write multiple books. He has been the imperative accountability partner I’ve needed to complete projects. Writing can be hard but having Rodney to turn to, bounce ideas off, and get intelligent feedback has been life-changing for me. I’ve learned about how to launch, market, design, write, and all the ins and outs of publishing. I’m so grateful!

You’re Fantastic!

I couldn’t have gotten the job done without Rodney Miles. He helped me tweak the book to perfection and stayed patient and professional every step along the way—a kind, intelligent, resourceful and accomplished publisher and/or business partner. Thanks again for everything. You’re honestly the only reason this happened. You’re fantastic!

Pure Joy to Work With

Thanks to Rodney my books were actually able to come to life . . . Rod brought light inside a very dark tunnel. He was my editor, as well as technical and design genius, and pure joy to work with. I am grateful beyond words.

I Was Thrilled

When we first talked about what I was doing I really did not expect for it to be as easy or for us to connect as quickly as we did, Rodney. . . The material I had needed to be reorganized and fleshed out. We worked together on that and we decided to release the books with an end in mind. . . you really helped me do that . . . you came up with illustrations that captured what it was like to actually use these principles, and I was thrilled with all of that.

You Made a Big Job Look Easy

Thank you for all your wisdom . . . you made a big job look easy. Writing the book was great . . . I had a book signing in my home town and sold 100 books and we gave a presentation they loved. Thanks Rodney for making the book a great read.

Paul Hebert

It Has Given New Life

We are still all high and sooo proud of the book and are really seeing how much of a difference it is to have a published book. It has given new life to all our other projects. Thank you for being so positive and supportive all through this long journey. Thank you so much again for your amazing help and encouragement and friendliness. I got the first printed copy of the book today and it looks fantastic. I am so proud of it.

Love Every Minute

I have been working on my book project with Rodney for some time now—absolutely love every minute of the ride.

You Absolutely Delivered

As soon as I started reading my chapter alone, I knew this book will make the list. It’s very powerful because of your work. Great job! I never doubted your ability to make this a gem and you absolutely delivered it.

Delina Fajardo

Coach, Keynote Speaker, and Author, The Choice

You Made the Whole Process Super Easy

It’s been huge, and the coaches that I coach . . . the one who initially shoved me into putting this all together, he now wants to make sure when he has a new group of coaches that they have the book. Very exciting. Super excited. . . I looked forward every single time we got together to get another chapter or two out of my head and into a recording that could be transcribed and edited. . . I loved doing them. It was really awesome to have you as an audience and funny—I felt it was easy to put the book together. . . you made the whole process super easy to me.

Cynthia Freeman

Oh My Gosh!

You guided me and coached me and brainstormed with me every single step of the way. There is no way on Earth I would have done a book of this quality without you. You have all the tools—even the cover! I look at my books and I’m like, Oh my gosh! I never would have been able to do the formatting and all the stuff that you do, have all of your expertise. Thank you, again!
