![The Buttes by Jane Buchan]()
"Working with Michael took the appearance of my finished book to the level of art."
★★★★★
Michael and his Foglio process helped me to see my work from a designer's point of view. My past self-publishing experiences were efficient, but working with Michael took the appearance of my finished book to the level of art. Because I am Canadian, and because The Buttes is set in a Canadian landscape, I was happy to find Foglio Custom Book Specialists, a Canadian company, to birth this Essex County farm family into the vast universe of stories and the readers who love them.

![The Denied Stone by Herman Baxter]()
"Michael is creative, attentive, diligent, and patient. I absolutely made the right choice in collaborating with him, and, if you choose to do so, rest assured you will have made the right choice as well."
★★★★★
Michael at Foglio designed the cover of my novel, "The Denied Stone." It was a pleasure working with him on it, and if I do write another book, I will absolutely work with him again.
Michael is a good listener, a close reader, attentive to detail, and -- most importantly -- highly insightful. I had a clear vision for the cover, and he delivered on it quite well. But he also included a different version entirely based on a passage in the book, and it was so compelling and well-executed that I went with his idea.
Michael typeset the book's interior and undertook multiple revisions -- turning each around in one or two days. He also created eBook files for me. He made sure the various revisions conformed to online bookseller guidelines.
As a first-time author, he was also incredibly patient with my last-minute revisions to the text. (Again, sorry about that, Michael!)
Overall, I could not be more pleased with how this project turned out. Michael is creative, attentive, diligent, and patient. I absolutely made the right choice in collaborating with him, and, if you choose to do so, rest assured you will have made the right choice as well.Herman Baxter, author of The Denied Stone

"I am very grateful for his services and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering self-publishing and printing their book."
★★★★★
My first book was published by a publishing company and all I had to do was submit my manuscript and they did everything else to bring it to print. I decided to self-publish my next book and never realized the choices I had to make and the expenses I would have to incur. One of my best choices was to engage the services of Michael Pietrobon of Foglio Publishing. He did an outstanding job of compiling my book and transforming my text into a beautiful work of art. He worked with me every step of the way with professional advice and patience. I am very grateful for his services and highly recommend them to anyone who is considering self-publishing and printing their book.
