Our authors would like to say a few words about their publishing experience with Aurora House…

Lachlan Hughson

I will never be able to fully thank Linda and her team for the marvelous work they did helping me publish my first book.  From the initial conversation, through the difficult process of writing, editing and publishing my book, they were a joy to work with.  When it came to working with Amazon and other distributors, they made life so much easier than it could have been navigating the online world.  Linda is a wonderful person who genuinely wants to help authors show their best work possible – I will always owe her a debt of gratitude for all the ways in which she helped me. ~ Lachlan Hughson  Walkabout to Wisdom

The sense of achievement I felt when I published my novel was overwhelming, and I thank Aurora House for making this possible. From start to finish my beloved book was in good, safe and caring hands. Professional, efficient, and knowledgeable is how I would describe everyone I dealt with during the whole process. ~ Alison Sweeney

“I was very excited when Aurora House responded to my submission – and were willing to help me get published in Australia! They were very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process – which was so enjoyable. Linda said that my story was really good, but that with Aurora’s help it could be great. And it is! Just need to sell a few now.” Peter Stevens

“When I first started The Forgotten Metal and Bone, I never imagined that it would become published, thanks to Aurora it did. Right from the start they were there, if I had any questions or problems during the entire process of editing, proofreading, design, they were there and I’m thankful everyday they took a chance on me and my story. With any luck I hope to work with them again. I highly recommend the entire team.” Bailey Vaughan

“As an author, I highly recommend the services of both Megan Crocombe and Justine Joffe. Their editing and proofreading skills are second to none, helping me create a polished manuscript ready for publishing.”

“I’d highly recommend Donika Mishineva from Art of Donika for her outstanding cover design creations. She not only delivers great work but also provides insights and industry know-how with her consultation.” ~ Ben Cossasri

I am delighted to have found Aurora and engaged them to publish my books. Everything is done professionally, each step of the process is managed and each step is signed-off as completed before progressing to the next. Everyone I deal with is friendly, personable and diligent. I cannot recommend the company and its process highly enough and would urge anyone to use it’s services. ~ Peter Clark

 

 

 

 

 

Georgette Noellat

When I first sent my manuscript, ‘Bits from the Pieces’, to Aurora House, I had expected professionalism and the usual commercial indifference. What I wasn’t expecting was the encouragement, patience and perfectionism during each step of the publishing procedure. I felt that I was dealing with friends rather than an industry and I am truly grateful to Linda Lycett and the brilliant staff at Aurora House for the pleasure of their company during my journey through to publication. ~ Georgette Noellat

 

 

 

 

Karan Sotoodeh

I had a great experience publishing my first non-academic book with Linda and her team at Aurora House Publishing. In order to improve the quality of the manuscript, the book underwent several rounds of editing. Katheleen and Kathleen were both very supportive and helpful during this process. The book cover designed by Donika was very impressive. All members of the team contributed greatly to the publication and promotion of my book, and I am extremely happy with all their efforts. ~ Karan Sotoodah

 

 

 

 

 

Joan Miller

Aurorahouse was recommended to me as a reliable publisher and that has certainly been proven.

As a first-time publisher at age 84 and not totally conversant with Internet, it was great to have expert guidance all of the way from initial appraisal to the final publishing and sales.

The launching of my book ‘The University of Life and How I Graduated Free’ on 5th November, 2022 was a most memorable day.

Many thanks to the Aurorahouse team. ~ Joan Miller

What a daunting task it seemed at first when I decided to share my life story with the world but Aurora House Publishing made the process both easy and enjoyable through their editors and support team. We write to entertain or share knowledge and I have achieved that. 

One book is now history and will be read in 100 years, one has even motivated my doctor to change his life and the third, a children’s book, has won book of the month on Kindle as voted by young raiders and I received a monetary prize. All this is most satisfying to a budding author and achieved with the assistance and professionalism of these wonderful people. Thank you Aurora House.  ~ Brian Murphy

An email from Linda arrived in my inbox just before I went for a walk down Shenzhen bay during Chinese National Day holiday in September, 2021 to inform me that after appraising my first children’s story, Aurora House was interested in publishing ‘Elif the Chimney Fairy of Cappadocia.’ Woohoo! From this day and many communications, advice, suggestions throughout 2021, ‘Elif, the Chimney Fairy’ was published in December, 2022.

I am indebted to Linda and her team for their tireless efforts in enabling the publication of my first story, a labour of love for 10 years. Their professional expertise in the field of publishing is one area I am in awe of. The nitty-gritty and ins-and-outs of editing, layout, marketing and patience was an experience I have been grateful for especially since I am based in China.

Thank you, Linda for believing in this story and project. May all the fairies in the world grant you and Aurora House all that is possible in the field of publishing.

With fairy dust and wishes ~ Vani
