Testimonials
Terry Evers, author of Fifteen Seasons
It was an absolute blessing to connect with Kim Cooper Findling and Todd Griffith in my journey as a first-time author. After a few emails and a phone conversation about my early draft with Kim, I knew the stars were aligning just right to mold and shape a story that I wished to share with the world. Kim’s detailed guidance through the developmental editing stages transformed my ideas from a passive retelling of events into a more dynamic and engaging manuscript. My writing skills evolved with every communication. Without her expertise, the project would have been a disaster. Her enthusiasm for the subject matter was very encouraging, too, and I greatly appreciated her creative input throughout the process. When it came time to focus on cover design, typography, images, and graphics, Todd’s guidance was masterful. It was a rich experience that blended his creativity along with the latitude to share my ideas as well. As we neared the finish line, Todd’s total command of the file upload process to Amazon was stress-free. For anyone who has an experience to share or a story to tell, I can’t speak highly enough of Dancing Moon Press to make a dream project become reality.
Tom Wangler, author of Nigeria and Backskatter
"It is indeed a pleasure to write a testimonial for Dancing Moon Press. I have been associated with DMP, Kim Cooper Findling and Todd Griffith for over three years now. They were indispensable in the publication of my first book “Nigeria,” as well as my second book “Backskatter.” Their service, attention to detail and professional skills are second to none. They have a process that was simple, clean and straightforward to work with. The finished product always exceeded my expectations. I could not imagine running the maze of getting my stories published without their help and assistance. They were also an absolute joy to work with. I would recommend, without hesitation, their business to anyone considering self-publication.
Cheri Lee Helfenstein, author of Abstract of the World
"Kim Cooper Findling and Todd Griffith are great collaborators. They’re both very experienced and talented in design, editing, writing and publishing. They made absolutely sure that the creation of a book and publishing experience was seamless, professional and enjoyable. I felt as though every aspect of my book that was important to me was just as important to them, if not more. I’m extremely grateful to have had this opportunity to work with them, and I’m thrilled beyond measure with the results. Thank you so much… ‘Dancing Moon Press’."
June A. Reynolds, author of Oregon Tears, Desert Stones and Overcast with Sunbreaks
"Here in Oregon, recommendations and referrals are still done by word-of-mouth. One of the writers in my writer’s group, Bruce Toien, suggested I try Dancing Moon Publishing, out of Bend, Oregon. I wanted to keep my money in Oregon rather than paying someone in California, so I decided to hand some work over to Dancing Moon. I have been very happy with our good communication, patience, and trust. I was also pleasantly surprised to find out that this company was the original publisher of Talus and Scree by Carla Perry in Yachats. I have several issues of that literary tome on my bookshelf as I taught school in Lincoln County for 23 years. Kim and Todd do excellent work and will bring your book to life. They are also excellent at helping to get your book to the markets that you want."
James McLatchie, author of Coal Mine to Finish Line
"Shortly after I recovered from a major stroke my two daughters told me I need to sit down and write my memoirs. After six months I had finished documenting my life story and now I needed to know how to get it published. I contacted Dancing Moon Press and explained I needed help. Kim and I met and I turned over my manuscript to her where she guided me through the process. Todd Griffith did a wonderful job designing the book cover. Without their help I would still be floundering. Thanks to them my story has now been published."
