What Our Clients Are Saying
“Working with Martin Ink was absolutely essential to the successful launch of my second book. (It became an Amazon bestseller!) They were professional, responsive, and insightful as they guided me toward creating a MUCH better book than I could have written on my own. If you want to write a book that wows, you’ve found the people to help you do it.”
Rose Lounsbury, author
The Achievement Addict
“We could not have asked for a better partner than Martin Ink as we worked to strengthen our internal peer review process. They took the time to understand how we operate, respected our existing procedures, and identified opportunities for improvement. Brian, who was our primary consultant, skillfully collaborated with people from a variety of backgrounds and areas of expertise, helping authors create content that was clear, engaging, and effective. He was responsive, proactive, and willing to go the extra mile, even helping develop tracking materials that enhanced our workflow. His expertise, professionalism, and commitment to collaboration made a lasting positive impact on our organization.”

“I was tasked with consolidating stories and photographs from 100 years of the Dayton Garden Club into a commemorative book. This multi-talented, dynamic team was eager to help me and quickly developed a comprehensive timeline to get us from a stack of files and photos to an extraordinarily beautiful hardbound book in less than 6 months. The panic I felt in accomplishing such an overwhelming task by myself quickly moved to a well-defined plan with reasonable benchmarks thanks to their expertise, can-do spirit, and impressive work ethic.”

“I believe in hiring my weaknesses, and fortunately for me, my weaknesses happen to be Heather’s strengths. She created my author website and I’m often complimented on its professional, clean look. She handles my monthly newsletter, making it look polished and saving me from proofing errors, so that I save time and can concentrate on my own strength: writing my books. I’m so grateful for her expertise and keen eye.”

“Heather listened to my needs for an author website and then created a website that not only looks great, but captures my author brand, and thirty plus years of publications in a cohesive, easy-to-navigate new site.
