Hear what authors have been saying about us!

“MAP turned the mountain climb of publishing into a series of walkable hikes, as a long-held dream of an idea turned into a book—my book.”

Wayne Myles Burton, author of Wayne’s War

“My experiences with traditional publishers led me to choose to work with Maine Authors Publishing on my seventh and eighth books, Islands of Time and The Other Island: Ben’s Story. Now I’m part of a competent team that handles what I can’t do well: design, printing, distribution, and accounting. Now I can focus on doing what I love: writing!”

Barbara Kent Lawrence, author of Islands of Time and The Other Island: Ben’s Story
