WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING...
"Joan created an incredible cover for my book, offered valuable editing, and did all the work to get it published for me. I am so grateful for her expertise and assistance. She helped me through every step and was easy to work with, at a price I could afford. I'm forever grateful." Christine Orsbun, author of What Happened to Chris Ann?"Joan Alley is a marvel. She takes my manuscripts, hones and polishes and corrects… She cajoles and ‘suggests’ and brings my King James English (“knelt”) to proper American English (“kneeled.”) She keeps track of my body counts (“weren’t there five before?”), and my days (“you said it was Friday. Now it’s Wednesday?”). She encourages me to add description and color to my dialogue and keeps my dialogue from being dated, stilted, or insensitive. Without her, I would not have seven books on the market and an eighth due to be released in April. Joan makes me a better writer. Joan makes me better, period. One of my greatest blessings is knowing Joan Alley. I am thankful for her wisdom, her humor, her humility, and her love for the Lord first and always." Colleen Snyder, author of the Collin Walker series, http://www.colleensnyderauthor.com/
"Joan Alley has published two books for me―book cover design to finished product. She is highly knowledgeable in all aspects of getting a book to market. Her services are reasonable, and she is trustworthy and flexible. I am confident when I recommend Joan to friends. They are never disappointed. Joan Alley is my choice for self-publishing." Penelope Childers, www.penelopechilders.com
"Joan Alley, I can not thank you enough. You took my manuscript, Making Peace with the Pieces of My Life, and made helpful suggestions. You polished it, designed a book cover, and made me look good. Your services are reasonably priced for a first-time self-publisher. Joan Alley and Manna Media Services are my go-to's for future projects." Dana D. Tramba, www.dandystories.com, author of Making Peace with the Pieces of My Life.
"I’ve had the privilege of working with Joan Alley for more than ten years. She has saved me a ton of time and money with her design, editing, and excellent computer skills. This tech savvy lady knows her way through Amazon’s maze of publishing and is capable of turn-key projects. She assisted me with more than fifteen books. I supplied manuscripts. She orchestrated edits, cover designs and then arranged publishing with booksellers. She created three of my websites, plus to my great relief, she even rescued my computer glitches. Moreover, guess what? Joan Alley and Manna Media Services didn’t charge an arm and a leg for any of it! She’s my all-time go-to-source." Gay N. Lewis, www.gaynlewis.com
