Doug
Robinson, author of
Expatriate.
"Since my main
objective was to find something that might provide value to
others, I knew I wouldn’t reach my goal if I didn’t get the book
published. So I was delighted when I was introduced to Brad and
he showed me how to make it happen. It’s been months since I
finished the manuscript, but the book is finally done and as I
write this, I’m holding the first copy in my hand … it’s hard to
describe what I’m feeling right now.
"The publicity has
already started. Our local paper, the San Angelo Standard-Times,
featured me in a major article, and I will soon have three book
signings, one at our local Hastings, one at San Angelo State
University, and one at the resident-care center where I live.
"Yes, the sequel
has already been started. I planned this as a trilogy and I’ve
left the reader wondering what will happen as the story
continues."

Fred Mapp, author of
Mapping Information Technology ... to Your Business.
"Once I decided
to self publish, and reviewed what other publishers have to offer, there
was no doubt I was going with Brad and Groundbreaking Press. I could tell
from our conversations, his work as an adjunct at Saint Edward’s, and
getting to know him personally, that he was committed to quality. I
believe Brad’s involvement will assure me of a book I can be proud of,
one I can take confidently into the smallest company or the highest
corporate offices in the world."

Magda Herzberger, author of Survival.
"Brad, who convinced me
that the best way to tell my story was by telling first what my life was
like in Romania as a young girl growing up in an upper-middle class
Jewish family and how it changed when the Nazi’s came to power in
Germany, leading ultimately to our family being taken to Auschwitz to
die. But instead, I survived through horrors that are hard to believe
ever happened.
"It is difficult for me to
relate these experiences as they actually happened, but I am finding that
writing them down is helping me deal with them. The hurt, the pain, the
horror has never really left me, but now I am feeling better inside. Just
sharing my story is healing me in ways I never would have understood.
"It is hard, but this is a
story that must be told. We must understand the horror we are capable of,
with the hope that it will never happen again. But hope alone is not
enough. Diligence is essential, and nothing will happen if we don’t know,
don’t believe it is possible for us to treat each other in these terrible
ways"

Steve Wagh, author of
The CEO Handbook.
"I really didn't
want to write, but I wanted to share the things I had learned over
the years with inexperienced entrepreneurs as well as with my
children.
"Brad had been a
friend and associate for several years. I knew he had written a
couple of books. I casually mentioned to him one day that I was
thinking about writing my own book. Whenever we bumped into each
other, he would ask me how my book was coming. I knew I had to get
it going.
"Now that it is
published I know why I had to write it. I’ve already received
enough accolades and sold enough books to pay for the entire
process. Others have told me how helpful my little handbook has
been; what more could you ask for?"
|
Barbara Bernard, author of
Eblis.
"I called Brad to
get details. He explained their process and referred me to one of
his successful authors. After chatting with her, I was convinced I
had found a way to publish the novel Eblis, and ultimately my
autobiography. I now regret that we didn’t know about
Groundbreaking Press in time for our book of novellas. With Brad’s help, I have
expanded my novella, Eblis, into a full novel. I just got back my
edited manuscript and am excited and pleased with the results. I
could never have found such editors on my own.
"I have had this
great need to publish my writing for years, ever since that child
took a crack at it so very long ago. Now, I’ve found a way to make
it happen, a way for my cherished goals to be realized." |
Gerald A. Collins, author of
Douglas House.
"Together we have
turned a mere journal into a novel that is only just beginning
to make its impact on my family and friends who also lived the
story.
"I cannot thank
you enough for what you have done in bringing the story of my
youth to life once again. To paraphrase the final paragraph of
Douglas House, "If there had been no you, my story would
be incomplete."

your commitment to the promise of this new niche in

Heaven and look forward to working with all of you in the

Jean
Marie McLain, author
of As Best We
Could, a Civil War story of the 101st New York
Volunteer Infantry Regiment and their loved ones at home.
"When I first
learned about Groundbreaking Press and its wonderful services, I
had already completed the writing of my book. I had put it on
the shelf, believing I would never find a publisher who was
interested in it, or who would even think about publishing it
in its present form. ... (Then) I talked to Brad Fregger at
Groundbreaking Press, and he explained to me ... that they were
dedicated to helping me make my book the best that it could
be. I was convinced of his sincerity."
"I would
recommend Groundbreaking Press for anyone who thinks their work
is worthy of printing. The staff does all the business end of
the publication, and lets the authors do what they do best -
writing and approving the final product. I know my book would
still be on the shelf if it were not for Groundbreaking Press."

Here is an additional reference from Jean Marie after we completed her second book,A Light in the Window.
"Thanks for all you do. Knowing how much you helped me, and how hard you worked, I can't imagine why any serious author would 'self publish' in any other way."

Michael
Doré, author of Thinking
Strategically Within Nonprofits and Thinking
Strategically Within Your Company
"Finally, I
have had a book published! It is a great thrill to have sat
down and put my thoughts, experience, and talents into a
computer and have them magically appear as a book. My wife has
been encouraging me for years to do this, but I thought it
would be too expensive and much too much trouble.
"Then I met
Brad Fregger. ... He led me into a world I had only dreamed
about. He is a good listener and an outstanding publisher. His
company is small enough to get close to his writers and
provide them the one-on-one services we need at each stage of
the process."

Garry
McDaniel, author of Conflict
to Cooperation
"I just
wanted to thank you for the terrific service that you provided
producing my new book, Conflict to Cooperation. As you
know, this is my second book and I published my first, Managing
The Business, through a traditional publisher.
"To be
honest, in the beginning I was somewhat concerned about using
an author services company to publish my second book. As I
have some experience publishing through "vanity" and
"subsidy" press, I was not at all sure that you were
really any different. However, after my conversations with
you, I decided to take a chance and have been delighted with
the results.
"There is no
doubt that going with you was the right decision. Many
thanks for a great job! You can be sure that my next book will
also be published with Groundbreaking Press."

Loren Bryant, author of Frimps, Smiles, and Twinkles
With Brad's editorial contributions and publishing expertise combined with the creative art of Benjamin Vincent, Groundbreaking Press helped me create a children's book that reframed the need to pathologize depression in children. Brad is pleasant, personable, a consummate professional, and a good friend. His knowledge and instincts regarding the publishing industry are recognized internationally. What is more, Brad understands trends of the future and their relationship to the high-tech arena. |
Mark Robbins author of Christia, a Screenplay
I come from decades of living in the computer world. Nights being spent with conscience thoughts replaying how a broken procedure might be repaired. When I started having a muse insert thoughts of writing a screenplay into my stream of consciousness, it was a surprise. Creating something from nothing that followed the best practice rules for code development is far different from writing what has almost no rules, or so I thought. The thing that became immediately obvious is that the placement of small things, like a comma, can make all the difference in a clean compile or a strong paragraph.
Brad Fregger brought the knowledge and ability into my project that any good system architect brings to code development. Having someone that knows the business, different approaches, and has the capability to realign your story for the most impact is priceless. Working with someone that will demonstrate how things can work but still leave you room to make your own mistakes, with a smile, makes the pain of creating more joyful. Brad is my “go to” guy to this day. Of course, stubborn errors are totally mine. |
