	"Substance Books has been superb. The customer service is great and their service is prompt. I especially appreciated receiving the personal attention of the owner. Thank you Substance Books."
- Miranda Conyers Author of: Daddy Please Don't Cry

	"Substance Books is the first place an author should put his/her publicity money. It will be well spent. Great bang for the buck."
Big River Press - D. H. Brown Publisher of: Honor Due, Honor Defended, The Dead Husband, Standing the Watch

Substance Book Publicity has helped me a great deal achieve my goal in many ways. I truly appreciate all of your staffs effort and eagerness to help authors like me. You know Miss Hajni, a lot of my sales were because of you. As I travel throughout this land I can't help but remembering how kind you and your staff were to me in Washington D.C. Here I was a fish out of water and you and your staff took the time to talk to me. Now my name and book are all over the web. On many search engines I am at the top or on the first page. Who did this? It wasn't me alone. Thank You and Your Staff Ever So Kindly

	"Thanks to help from your superb publicity our book sales are quite fantastic."
Forest Hairston Spirit Ran Free

	"You guys were a great discovery!"
K Patrick Malone Inside A Haunted Mind

	"This company is genuine, sincere, and very professional. Give them a look and your book sales a boost."
William W. Koonce The Tall Man in the Hat

" I can only praise your company for their courteous and very professional services. It is just great that Hajni has listed Troubadours of God within her personal book recommendation. This book was received by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, and was bought by Hans Ucko of the World Council of Churches, seeing it is seeking to bring hearts together in an age when religions are so devisive when viewed without understanding their esoteric content. I am very grateful to Hajni and yourself for your courtesy and your interest. Your company is first class."

Gladys O'Rorke Troubadours of God

AMAZON REVIEW	Marvelous Site! "If you enjoy good books, then Substance Books Inc. is THE place for you! Even prior to my book being listed on substancebooks.com, I was a regular visitor to the site. I highly recommend it to everyone interested in good books such as readers, authors, librarians, booksellers and all other interested parties."
John E. Cother, author of Fear of Spiders

AMAZON REVIEW

Great Internet Bookseller site ! "The Substance Books website has been helpful in many ways in promoting my book. I've engaged the site owner in numerous promotional activities such as book fairs and holiday giveaway projects. As well, they have helped me build my own website at www.theunveilingbook.com. I've had a great increase in traffic to my own site due to these efforts, as well as have found a place for my book directly on the Substance Books website. The site is visually appealing, easy to navigate, and full of great ideas for increasing sales, marketing, and exposure. I recommend it to all serious internet booksellers."

Dennis Gilmour, author of The Unveiling

AMAZON REVIEW

Effective, responsive and impactful site "I can rate this site both as an author and a customer. Any site can only be as good as the person behind it. I found Hajni to be very responsive to me, as an author; I feel that she wants me to succeed, and she's been very generous with her talent on my behalf. On a practical level, I can see the referrals (clicks) to my website from Substance Books Inc., and the number is steady and growing each month. I have also used the site as a consumer, because first and foremost I am an avid reader. I found the book reviews concise and informative, the collections -genres- well defined, and the design of the sites well done. Overall, perusing for something to read was a pleasure. "

Grigor Fedan, author of Dream Maker

AMAZON REVIEW	Excellent Website for Authors! "Substance books is an excellent website for authors and readers. The site is very informative and easily navigated. Authors' needs are a priority, and there are a myriad of promotional projects to become involved in."
Rene' Jackson RN BSN MS, author of The Death of Mammography

Excellent Website for Authors! "Substance Books Inc. is a class act. In the cut-throat world of publishing, it's a delight to find a website which not only gives the independent publisher a place to display titles to an eager public, but does it attractively and professionally and very personally. With "buy this book" links back to the publisher's own Website, visitors are encouraged to act on their initial impulse -- definitely a savvy technique. But it's not just a display site. In addition to showcasing our books on the Substance Books Inc. site, Hajni generously suggested HTML tweaks to optimize our own company Website for search engines. Joining with Hajni and Substance Books Inc. has proven to be one of our most valuable and satisfying business ventures. Thanks from the heart, Hajni!"

Irene Brady, author of The Redrock Canyon Explorer    Beaver Year    Wild Babies

	"Hajni, Bobby and I are very proud of being associated with Substance Network and Book Promoter. You have done a fantastic job helping to promote our books ever since we joined a few years ago. We have been more than pleased. Thank you for all of your promotional efforts."
Bobby & Kam Ruble, authors of Have No Mercy    Black Rosebud

I would recommend Substance Books Inc. to any self-publisher! "Working with Hajni, is very easy and she gets the job done on a very timely basis. I have been signed up with Substance Books Inc. since October 2004 and I feel that the support on this site is wonderful! Thank-you very much for your outstanding support and continued superb assistance!!" Deidre Dorsett, author of The Purple Moon

"As a new author, building relationships with "like minded" promotions is the key to paving the road to success. Substance Books Inc.-Web Promoter Hajni, is a light that embraces diversity and welcomes creative works that benefit all. I applaud the efforts of this company and feel blessed to be showcased on their site."

AMAZON / ALEXA Reviews
A feast for book lovers,
The Substance Books Inc. website provides a fresh, functional and fun feast for readers, book buyers, browsers and authors like myself. When I discovered it last year, I knew right away I wanted my book "Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust" to be part of it. The site is well-designed, easy to use and interesting to explore. I'm honored that my book is included in its selection of interesting books.

Charles Petterson www.powerfulbook.com Author of "Eternal Treblinka"

Practical support for readers and writers,
The Substance Books Inc. website offers positive support and service to readers, book buyers and browsers. There's no advertising or other marketing pressure. The site is easy to explore and move around in. Selections offered are numerous and varied. In addition, regular contests feature interesting new books as prizes.

W. Royce Adams www.rairarubia.com Author of:"Rairarubia","The Computer's Nerd" and many more

Site of Substance,
A friend of mine told me about Substance Books and since then I visit regularly. There is always something new on this site. The design is inviting and calm. As soon as I get our new children's book from the printer I will list it on Substance.

Substance Books is more dedicated to promoting and assisting independent publishers than any other affiliation I have in the publishing industry. From creating a wonderfully fresh and ever-changing website to providing informative monthly marketing newsletters for its members, Substance Books Inc. is a website I find very beneficial to be associated with and linked to. Kudos all around!"

"Hearing from you always gives me positive energy... Imagine your power... someone you've never met or talked to has from the very first received these uplifting vibrations from you through cyberspace. Whatever does or does not come of it, I feel some special connection by being a member author of Substance Books Inc.." Sandy Livingston
Publisher of : "Fragments"

"It took me some time but I went through the whole thing and I also contacted the people at DogRead from the e-mail you sent me. They asked me to submit a book to them so I am mailing one as we speak. From their site I also contacted two more dog book distributors and they ask for a copy as well.
All of this because of you, Thank you. I also read some of your Newsletter and it's so interesting. I wished I would have known about some of the things written there before I started to send out copies of my book."
Thank you again! You made my day, no week, maybe MONTH! At the very least is a great Valentine Present!

It has been my good fortune to work with Substance Books in a continuing relationship that grows better and better. Few can rival the caring concern, helpfulness, professionalism, assistance, quality of product, and overall enthusiasm in helping promote an author's book as Substance has done in such a wonderful manner. I would especially like to cite Hajni for her heartfelt concern, assistance, support and guidance in the promotion of my book, and in particular, her outstanding assistance in teaching me the rudiments of a website and, working together, developing an exceptional website in the Substance Books Inc. family, of which I am immensely honored and proud.
Thank you, Substance Books.

"It is my second year since I joined Substance Books Inc. and the results were wonderful: increased sales and exposure, valuable and professional marketing tips, an attractive presence for my books, and most importantly, a caring and knowledgeable coordinator always listening and interacting with your writing needs. I place Hajni and her website high in my books and I hope to feature my new upcoming books with Substance Books Inc. - a very professional and welcoming site.   Great Job, Hajni!"

"I am indebted to Hajni of Substance Books Inc. for designing my website. Now, I feel that I am in control of it. Also, I pay much less monthly fees to my new web host Mexxus. Hajni has been very helpful in providing assistance for updates to my site. The folks at Mexxus are also terrific in providing support and answering my questions expeditiously.

"Before my first novel was ever published, I did a lot of Web surfing. I was looking for Websites that helped promote authors, especially new and unknown authors. It was in that search that I discovered Substance Books Inc.. I’ve been associated with Substance Books Inc. for close to a year now, and it’s a great partnership. Hajni stays on top of what’s going on in the publishing world. She not only keeps her Website updated with interesting and helpful information, but she also puts out a great newsletter that’s filled with pertinent writer’s information.
Thank you, Hajni"
Bobby Ruble,

"LeClere Publishing is grateful to Substance Books Inc., and its mastermind, Hajni, for upgrading our website from that of a novice to a much more polished and refined display for the world to see, enjoy and learn.
Hajni just never seems to run out of good ideas, or enthusiasm for helping her clients promote their works. She treats us like we're her only client---and we appreciate it."
Kitty Dye, for LeClere Publishing Company "Maconaquah's Story" and "Meet George Winter"
You website looks great! Thanks for including Maconaquah's Story and Meet George Winter. All of a sudden I'm getting orders from Amazon, so something must be working for me.
You're getting some really good books, Hajni, so glad to be aboard. Glad you're settled into your new quarters, as it's nice to be growing and expanding your facilities. You certainly work hard enough to earn your success.
Cheers, Kitty

I'm glad that the letter got there and I meant every word that I said. Conventional mechanics will come to be understood in the earth and we'll all be better for it. It won't be like the steam engine, or electricity (controlled electromagnetism) but it will help mankind.
It's a somewhat lonely struggle right now, and your book promotion helped a lot. I'll keep on going and you will too. I'm glad our paths have crossed.

Phil Holbrook Author of "Pore Pressure Through Earth Mechanical Systems"

It is pure delight to discover a website that is so totally professional in it's appearance and yet conveys a personal intimacy toward the brotherhood of authors. When the days responsibilities and demands are put to rest it is a wonderful place to come home to, a place of substance!
