ShieldCrest Publishing

I cannot recommend ShieldCrest Publishing highly enough. From the very beginning to the final stages of publication, their support throughout the journey of publishing my first book, Let the Healing Begin, was nothing short of outstanding. As a first-time author, I had many questions, and the ShieldCrest team took the time to guide me with clarity, patience, and genuine care at every step. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and responsiveness made what could have been an overwhelming process feel reassuring and well-managed. I always felt listened to, respected, and supported, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble. Beyond the technical expertise, what truly stood out was the encouragement and belief they showed in me and in my message. I was especially impressed with the global distribution of my book, ensuring Let the Healing Begin is accessible to readers internationally across major platforms and bookstores. ShieldCrest did not simply provide a service they created a supportive partnership that allowed me to publish with confidence and pride. I am deeply grateful for their dedication, integrity, and consistent excellence, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any author looking for a trustworthy and professional publishing team.

It is difficult to choose a hybrid publisher, but Shield Crest did everything that I asked and more, and I am very pleased with the result. There is no doubt that the author has to put in a deal of effort on the marketing side to achieve sales. I would recommend Shield Crest to others.

In May ShieldCrest published my Mother's Poetry book. My Mother passed away January 2024 and my siblings and I wanted to realise a dream for her as she lacked the confidence in life. The process was quick, heartfelt , knowledgeable and every decision was shared with us and help / advice provided. The correspondence and communication of each stage was made with ease, nothing was left to chance. My Mother would have loved the finished book ! Thank you so much help, guidance and understanding.

In June ShieldCrest published my first book, the process being comparatively swift and knowledgeable. The correspondence and communication of each stage was made with ease, nothing was left to chance. I am now in the process of my next project with them which is ongoing.

Publishing with ShieldCrest was a wonderful experience. The staff were were extremely helpful with any queries I had. It was positive environment to work with and I am excited for all future projects.

ShieldCrest have been great. They have really helped me with the publishing of my first book. They have been friendly and had great communication with me all throughout the process. Steve went above and beyond.

As a novice author, I was very grateful to ShieldCrest for all their help and guidance. Steve and Chris responded in a timely fashion to all my emails and never seemed to tire from all my questions. They worked with me to satisfy all of my requirements for the cover and formatting. I was delighted with the publication of my first book, which I considered to be a quality production. I would certainly recommend this publisher to anyone wishing to have their book presented to the market.

Since I first emailed and then rang ShieldCrest my life has changed for the better. They published my short story book for children - Magic and Memories. I'm always reading on Facebook about publishers who charge thousands and are useless, but ShieldCrest is a very fair price and are still on the end of the phone or answer any queries. Leigh is so helpful and I'm very fussy. The quality of the paper and cover is good too. He's just loading an updated cover and Author Page to the book. Because I published that first book I am on podcasts, YouTube channels, anthologies and have recently turned one of my stories in the book into a play, which I have just sold. So thank you, ShieldCrest.

More Than Perfect Publishing! I am more than 100% happy with ShieldCrest's perfect publishing of my books. The finish of the books was instantly recognised and complimented and is my favourite finishing touch. The books arrived exactly as I wanted them first time and they added their wisdom to my own vision resulting in books I am more than delighted with! GT.

SHIELDCREST published my first thriller novel in the Max-Catt series. The whole team from the beginning, have been, helpful in every sense. They showed great patience with me, the novice novelist. I had no reservations in offering my second novel in the series. I can’t thank SHIELDCREST enough.

I'm totally satisfied and extremely happy with the service I received from shield crest. 10 out of 10 I would recommend.

Received excellent care and support from Shieldcrest publishing the list of connections to showcase my book was extensive. The support I received with 2nd to none and the illustrations were fantastic!

As a complete novice I was completely lost as to what to do next to get my newly finished children's book published. A friend introduced me to Shieldcrest and they could not have been more helpful. They set out precisely what they could do for me and what it would cost in a written quotation. They found a first class illustrator for me, and they led me gently by the hand through the process. The books they produced in soft and hardback were of excellent quality, they have put the book on Amazon in the UK, USA and five European countries. They have also put the book on two E-Book sites. They were always at hand to answer any queries and to give ongoing advice. I really cannot fault them and have arranged for them to handle my second book with a third to follow later in the year.

Excellent service, professional and very accommodating. I Would recommend any author using their services. ShieldCrest publishing will be my only port of call when submitting manuscripts in the future. I personally have always dealt with Steve Robson, nothing is to much trouble for him.

Excellent personal service. Invaluable advice when new to the author role.

Shieldcrest brought the dream to publish my book "Maths Untangled" to frutition. They were professional, patient with my three proof reads and many mistakes and great value for money. I do not believe my book would ever have been in the public domain without their encouragement and input. Thank you a million times over! I am indebted and hugely grateful.

Everyone I have spoken to or e-mailed at ShieldCrest have been most helpful, and have always answered my questions quickly and efficiently. They have made my journey of first time publishing exciting and interesting and have been extremely patient with me when I had a 'wobble ' with my computer! I was very pleased and impressed with the way my book 'The Secret of the Old Willow Tree and other stories' looked when it was published and I received my copies. It was all first class. Thank you ShieldCrest.

I am the author of a number of childrens books which are all about the adventures had by Freddie the Spider and his friends. I am delighted that Shieldcrest are my publishers. They have made my books look special and are very professional and helpful. They make the whole process of publishing very easy and I look forward to publishing lots more books with them.

Having decided to follow my late mother in writing an autobiography, Shieldcrest agreed to publish. They were extremely helpful especially as the publication date more or less coincided with the UK Covid-19 lock down. The assistance from Shieldcrest has continued since publication and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

I spent two years putting my heart and soul into writing Soul Man my first novel, I then had the daunting task of finding a publisher that understood my needs and aspirations. After rejecting many publishers based on personnel research and authors feedback I enlisted ShieldCrest, their pricing was clear and reasonable and I liked their accommodating attitude towards my requirements. I felt fully involved in every aspect of the publishing process resulting in a professionally produced book that I'm very proud of.
