"When I wrote Two Miles to Tynecastle, I knew I had something a little bit different on my hands. Apex Publishing Ltd had the foresight and the courage to recognise that; it was as if their minds are a bit more open to books that have originality and dynamism. It was that freshness that has made the entire publishing process a real pleasure. Apex has been brilliant to deal with and I very much hope to work with them again in the future. Friendly, professional and true believers in the written word!"

- Andrew-Henry Bowie, "Two Miles to Tynecastle"

"All I can say is the book is brilliant! From the cover to the layout, everything is 200% perfect. No publishers on this planet could have done it better, the team at Apex are spot on, a dedicated bunch of professionals, especially Chris Cowlin as its through him I communicate with. Although this is my 11th published book I can honesty say no publisher as ever done such a quality job. All in all I'm proud as punch with Loonyology and more than happy with Apex. Loonyology is real, it's now, it's me! It's all about my how my life is and has been all my adult life and I thank Apex Publishing Ltd for having faith in me."

"When I sat down to pen Desert England, it was the start of a journey that I had no idea to where it would lead. The stories of it being "impossible to find a publisher for first time authors" were pushed firmly to the back of my mind as determination saw me through to the final word. Thankfully I was made aware of Apex Publishing Ltd and the rest, as they say, is history. From the very first email from Chris Cowlin to the moment I received those first copies hot off the press, Apex Publishing has been nothing short of phenomenal, providing the type of service that makes dreams come true. The process of becoming a published author has been one of the smoothest paths I have ever gone down thanks to Chris and his team. If writing the book was the start of the adventure, physically having it to hand is merely the mid-point and Apex Publishing Ltd has ensured the journey continues through its efficient and dynamic marketing team and sales network. You only have to look at the quality of books under the Apex banner to realise you are forming a partnership with a growing giant in Publishing and I am looking forward to continuing my relationship long into the future. Apex has re-written the standards of the Publishing industry and raised the bar to new levels. Top notch!"

- David Williams, "Desert England"

~

"I have enjoyed the increasingly easier process of book production with Apex Publishing Limited, with what is now my fifth book, my second collaboration with Chris Cowlin and my first with Alan Finch. The book itself was a joy to research and the team at Apex were supportive to the extreme. The behind the scenes work is amazing. Gathering positive comments from a vast array of celebrities is astonishing and it is a complete honour that the legendary Dickie Bird MBE was persuaded to write the foreword. I am very proud to be asked to write and compile books for this fine publisher. I am very proud of this book and that it has been published in hardback."

- Adam Pearson, "The Cricket Quiz Book"

~

"Robert Young once said: "To me the writer is king." In my experience, with my first book, NO LAUGHING MATTER, Chris Cowlin and his devoted crew at Apex Publishing Ltd, seem enthusiastically agree. Decades as a professional scribbler and I have rarely, if ever, been treated with such attention and respect at every stage. Apex means "the summit." Enough said."

- Norman Hudis, "No Laughing Matter"

~

"Military Rule: The Return of the Mandeville, is my second book to be published by Apex. And, it has been just as exciting as having my first book, Military Rule, published. In fact, thinking about it, even more so because it proved I was not to be a one book wonder. Chris Cowlin's support, along with the rest of his team, has been fantastic. And, patient. The experience gets better and better along with the high standard of service that Apex provides. I'm enjoying the growing relationship I have with them. Hopefully, long into the future. I repeat from my first publication with Apex that they are polite, prompt and professional. Most of all, Apex show understanding and a great respect towards the author, which, on my part, is reciprocated. Again, I would not hesitate to recommend Apex Publishing. I still love it. Their backing gives me great confidence to concentrate and continue with my writing. I feel privileged to be an Apex author and listed alongside Apex's great writers. All that remains for me to write, for now, is: thank you."

- Mark S. Bennison, "Military Rule: The Return of the Mandeville"

"I have been very impressed from my first contact with Apex Publishing through to receiving my book in print. The level of customer care has been consistently high and reflective of an organisation that believes strongly in what they do. I have been consulted at every step of the process and given every opportunity to contribute to the overall project. This experience has been a real partnership, working towards a common goal. My book has been produced to an exceptionally high standard in every respect - cover, typography, quality of materials used and finishes. Apex Publishing Ltd provide a product of industry standard whilst delivering a service that reflects the personal touch that is often lacking from larger organisations."

- Mark Cundy, "A Man & A Pram"

~

"I would recommend Apex Publishing to anyone wishing to see their book in print. All the staff at Apex are very well organised and are a professional team. I’m certainly glad that I found them.

The No.1 publishing company!"

- Kevin Snelgrove, "The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics"

- Jim Dawkins and Dave Courtney, "The British Crime and Prison Quiz Book"

~

" I have had books published by other publishers in the UK and the States but I must say none of them work as closely with their writers and as well as Apex Publishing Ltd. These guys make fast decisions and get things done lightning quick, but completely and totally professionally. Whether you are an established writer or maybe looking to get your work published for the first time you won't beat this company - simply the best!"

- Philip Solomon, "Guided by the Light"

~

"This is my fourth publication with Apex Publishing Ltd and my first collaboration. I was very pleased to have the opportunity to work with such a prolific fictional compiler as Chris Cowlin in this project and I was struck by Apex's ongoing efforts to make the publication process easier. I am sure that Leicester City fans will be impressed with this product as I myself was when I saw it."

- Adam Pearson, "The Official Leicester City Quiz Book"

~

"Apex Publishing Ltd have made my dream to become a published author a reality! I would recommend anyone who wishes to get their own book published to contact Apex as the team offer a first class service. I am especially proud to have had my autobiography, Making My Own Space, published, as I hope it will inspire others to get involved in the arts or to go for their own dreams and ambitions. Dreams can come true. Apex have made some of mine a reality!"

- Paul Burton, "Making My Own Space"

~

"I have been published by some of the largest publishers in the UK, but I have never enjoyed working with any of them as much as I have with Apex Publishing Ltd. They make being published a pleasure and very enjoyable. In fact, Apex's editorial services are extremely professional and very meticulous."

- Billy Roberts, "The Magic of the Aura"

~

"Writing a book and having it published is like going on a long journey. It can be stressful, frustrating and full of hold-ups. Fortunately, however, Apex Publishing have made my journey as a first time published author a great deal easier than I could have ever hoped! Despite working with many authors at the same time, Apex have managed to give me quality time to my book project. They also continually guided me and kept me on track with my book. I would recommend other new and established authors work with Apex."

- Paul Burton, "The Official Carry On Quiz Book"

~

"Apex have published my third book, having done a superlative job with the previous two! I still got as much of a buzz seeing the finished article this time as I did the very first time I saw my own words in print. From the original manuscript to the actual book, their careful and unobtrusive editing, innovative cover designs and efficient service in general makes Apex Publishing Ltd a name you can trust in the often precarious world of publishing for the unknown author. My books have succeeded far beyond my original hopes - I am not an "unknown" now (!) and I have Apex to thank for this.

- Sheila Collins, "Truffles' Diary: The Encore"

~

"The service from the team at Apex has been first class, turning the fledgling idea into a finalised product in a very rapid turnaround. The design and quality of the finished product was very good and this can only assist with its marketing. In terms of promotion and advertising Apex are top notch from leaflet drops and press launches through to magazine adverts, they seem to have every avenue covered. I heartily recommend Apex for their expertise in handling a plethora of subjects and genres in their ever expanding range."

- Peter Miles, "The Southend United Quiz Book"

~

"There can be few things more challenging than turning someone else’s dream into reality. Especially when that dream is as complicated as it is unique to that individual. Producing a book that is both commercially viable and true to the authors wishes, probably tops that list of ‘toughest things to accomplish.’ That's why a company like Apex towers above its competitors. From the initial manuscript phase to the day your book hits the shelves, Apex provides a slick, polished and professional service that could become the textbook example of how publishing should be done. Bravo."

- Kizzi Nkwocha, "Heavens Fire"

~

"The service I have received has been exceeding efficient – almost scarily so. Queries have been dealt with promptly and everyone is really ‘on the ball’. I could not be more pleased with my book, in particular the cover design, which is really aesthetically attractive. I would like to thank everyone at Apex Publishing Ltd for having faith in me and enabling me to realise a lifelong dream."

- Janet Lee, "Kissed by Angels: The Biography of Lorraine Butler"

~

"Once again the end product exceeded my expectations and I know that Apex Publishing Ltd worked very hard to get the book out as soon as possible, looking as good as possible. The service just gets better and better. I am very proud of the three books that I have had published with Apex and of my association with them."

- Adam Pearson, "The England Quiz Book"

~

"It is an amazing experience working with Apex Publishing Ltd as you see your work transform from original manuscript through all the stages to reach the final hallowed product of a fully published book! Staff at Apex Publishing have, at all levels of the process from script acceptance onwards through to publication and marketing, been superb in encouraging and guiding the author with their experience and expertise. They subtly add their professional input without in any way diluting or detracting from the author's concept. I am so very pleased with and proud of the quality of the printed publication of 'Give My Love To...'  thanks Apex!"

The speed at which this stage by stage process was carried out was astonishing. From being introduced to Apex Publishing Ltd in September, my book was ready for sale by mid-December. I am so impressed with the speed, clarity and high standard of the Apex Publishing team, I would recommend this publisher to anyone who has a passion and desire to see their writing in print and reach the public domain."

- Alan R. Gawith, "Thinking from the Edge"

~

"One makes a great leap of faith when a publisher is recommended by a total stranger from another publishing firm. But I was told that Apex had a good reputation and that all their clients seemed very pleased with the results. I now have the end result in my hands and am delighted with my book: the cover, quality of the paper, print and the originality of my work being still intact. Professionalism and courtesy run in tandem with this firm and I always felt that my input was of true significance - many thanks to everyone at Apex who has been involved in this."

- Maggie Cotton, "Wrong Sex, Wrong Instrument"

"As a 'first-timer' and knowing nothing about the procedure of having a book published I was full of nerves and apprehension.

- Jill Prior, "One Moment in Time"

~

"I thought the artwork was superb, it conveyed exactly the right impression. And just as impressive for me were the editorial comments made in relation to The Barn.

~

"It would be impossible for me to bestow sufficient praise onto Apex Publishing in just one short paragraph. Having said that, Apex offered nothing but the highest form of professionalism, care and attention towards my manuscript, turning it from a rough script into a quality novel. Just as importantly, Apex offer continued help, post-publication, in getting your finished book into libraries, shops, and magazines for review, etc. I would strongly advise any first-time author, looking to have their work published, to seek out Apex Publishing Ltd. Indeed, I enjoyed the process that much I have already signed contracts with Apex to have my second novel published!"
