  • “When I send my book coaching clients to Girl Friday Productions, I know they’ll be in expert hands and shown care at every stage of their author journey. It’s rare to find a team that is both values-driven and world class, and GFP is both. They create beautifully designed and edited books that go on to help authors grow their impact. I highly recommend Girl Friday Productions!”

    —Stacy Ennis, book strategist and best-selling coauthor of Growing Influence

  • “As a first-time author, I am beyond grateful that GFP took me on and did what great publishers do: copyediting, proofreading, book cover and interior design, distribution, marketing. And they did it all with such care, thoughtfulness, professionalism, expertise, patience, and creativity. It was an incredible experience—one of the greatest gifts in this journey I’m on.”

    —Wendy Saffel, author of Never Really Left

  • “Thank you so much for everything you have done to send my book into the world in a way that has made me proud and happy. Karen told me during our first meeting that authors feel ‘held’ by the GFP process. I agree 100%.”

    —Dheepa Maturi, author of 108
