Nice things people have said about us.
It is thanks to Peter Cooke of Petan Publishing that I managed to get my book,
‘For Pete’s Sake’ into print – selling over 650 copies in a little over a year.
To date, I have raised £2,000 for the John Gaffney Home, where Pete, my disabled son
has lived for nearly eight years. As a complete novice, I relied totally upon Peter’s advice
and expertise and he managed to lead me through the various processes with patience
and good humour! This time around, as I neared the end of my second book about the lifeof my son, it was without hesitation that I approached Peter, confident that he will onceagain guide me to the finished product – a book of which I can be proud.Yvonne Crabtree,Yorkshire 2009.
This was my first venture into self-publishing and Petan made it a very smooth and easyintroduction. Peter Cooke was always on hand to give advice and guidance and costswere explained in terms even I could understand. I can recommend Petan to all thosewriters who need to be safely steered through the snags and pitfalls of self-publishing,and at a very reasonable cost. I am very happy with the final print of all three booksthat Petan has published for me. Maureen Blundell (Roz Colyer). Essex 2009.
