Built, Not Born: One Entrepreneur's Journey from Nothing to Everything
David listened intently as I presented my idea of telling the history of South Charleston, Ohio through architecture. He asked questions about the content, the proposed layout, and the number of pictures. I reported the results of that conversation to the Board of Trustees, and we moved forward. The resulting book presented the growth of a small town through the lifetime of a carpenter who continues to shape our lives today, more than 120 years after his death. The rapport that David and I established on that first call carried through the project. His team did phenomenal work in the layout of text and footnotes. Old pictures were discretely touched up; wrinkled newspaper clippings were readable. Footnotes were correct. The book contained smooth transitions within the 50-year time span. The trustees were really glad it came in on budget and met the proposed deadlines. Braughler Books made publishing a book easier than I had ever anticipated. History gives identity and roots to a local community. Braughler Books created a book that brought this story to life beyond all expectations. That is no small feat.

Edward Edwards: The Man Who Built South Charleston, Ohio
My experience with Braughler Books was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, David and his staff handled my book with dedication, care and white glove service.
Because this was my first time publishing, Braughler Books made additional efforts to ensure that I understood each step of the process. They guided me through the tedious steps and allowed me full creative control of the photos, content and cover. That said, David did an excellent job of informing me what would and wouldn’t work and he was always just an e-mail or text away.
When the first proof came in not up to his standards, he found additional resources and helped me create a high quality, full color coffee table book I am proud of. He even waived some additional costs and helped me better understand book printing in general.
Additionally, I developed a genuine rapport with David and always felt like I was the only client when he was working with me.
I have no doubt that my next two books will be with Braughler Books.

Braughler Books, LLC produced a wonderful presentation of my book titled See? Living Blind in a Sighted World of which I am very proud. I am most appreciative of David’s valuable support from his initial, eager, heartwarming acceptance of my manuscript to publishing of See?; including it for sale on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, other booksellers; and registering it with the Library of Congress. He also referred me to Nancy LaFever, an editor with whom I established an excellent rapport while she assisted me in revising the manuscript.
Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Wonder
I chose to publish my first book through Braughler Books because they offer the advantages of a larger publisher while allowing each writer to maintain all creative rights. From start to finish, I was able to have the final say on all design and content decisions. Unlike self-publishing, the Braughler Book hybrid method makes the publishing process EASY and simple! Yes, it’s possible! The initial cost for publication is reasonable. I spoke with other small publishing companies who wanted $12k+ upfront for a sub-par quality book. With Braughler Books, you are paying an affordable price for a high-quality product. Unlike with large publishers, authors are able to take home much more money per book sold. It’s a great system, the best of big publishing with the quality of a small, privately-owned local business.
