I cannot speak highly enough of The Publishing Pad! Their work was of outstanding quality and production was timely. They took the effort to get to know me which created a great supportive working relationship and fostered an understanding of my point of view regarding publishing my book. Furthermore, their graphics were excellent and just what would appeal to me. You can’t get better than Chisom Ezeh and her team!
Wow, exceptional experience! I just released my first book and as a hormone prescriber with my PhD, I knew almost nothing about publishing a book. Chisom walked me through every step and her attention to detail is outstanding. Excellent, ongoing communication through Basecamp. I can’t say enough about the ease of this publisher’s process. Let’s take it all the way to Times Square. Thank you!
I can’t recommend The Publishing Pad enough. Chisom and her team guided me through the entire drafting, editing, formatting, publishing, and promotion process. They responded to all my questions, gave meaningful edits, created a gorgeous cover, formatted my book to my exacting requirements, helped me with the copyright registration, and secured my ISBN number. The team even helped me develop an early reader and promoting strategy. My book was #1 in multiple categories for many straight days and I’m just getting started. I could not have done this without The Publishing Pad.
Working with the Publishing Pad team was a great experience. Their professionalism, guidance, and support helped bring “The Strategic Newcomer” to life. Their continuous encouragement and sacrifices stood out for me. I am proud of the final result and would highly recommend them to other authors.
Publishing Pad made my publishing journey smooth and reassuring from beginning to end. Their support truly stood out, they guided me carefully through every step of the process and made sure I always felt informed and confident in the decisions being made. They took the time to double-check everything, explain their suggestions clearly, and ensure I was completely comfortable before moving forward. I never felt rushed or pressured; instead, I felt heard and respected. What I appreciated most was that it felt like a genuine partnership built on communication and trust. They worked with me, not just for me, and that made all the difference. Their professionalism, patience, and attention to detail gave me peace of mind throughout the experience. I’m proud of the final result and truly grateful for their expertise and dedication.
I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Chisom and her exceptional team at The Publishing Pad for their unwavering support throughout the publication of Cinderella Effect. When I chose the Author Pad Plus option, Chisom was there with every question and learning curve, patiently guiding me through the process with expertise and genuine care. Over the past many months, their dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to bringing my vision to life have been nothing short of remarkable. They were truly there every step of the way—and I'm deeply grateful knowing Chisom continues to be there as I move into the next part of this journey. Chisom and The Publishing Pad are a five-star publishing partner, and I couldn't have asked for better allies in making my book a reality.
Working with Chisom has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. When I started this journey, I wasn’t even sure if I could bring my story to life on the page. Chisom not only helped me edit and shape my book — she made me believe I could do it. Her dedication, patience, and attention to detail are unmatched. She took the time to truly understand my vision and guided me through the process step by step. More than just an editor, she became a partner in the journey, someone who gave me the confidence to share my story with the world. Because of Chisom’s work, WhyKnotUS went from an idea in my heart to a finished book in my hands. I’ll always be grateful for the way she invested her time, her talent, and her belief in me. If you’re looking for someone who not only edits but empowers you as a writer, I can’t recommend her enough.
From the first moment I met Chisom, I knew I was in good hands. I did not take a moment to even think about hiring her because intuitively I already knew she was a perfect fit. Truly, the publishing part was the easiest part of my book's journey. Chisom held my hand through the whole process. She responded quickly to my numerous questions and within 7 hours of publishing on Amazon my book became a #1 International Best Seller! No drama. Just 100% satisfaction! Your book is your baby. Make sure you put it in good hands. Chisom will over deliver every time.
Chisom and The Publishing Pad were thoughtful partners throughout my projects. Chisom listened closely and offered suggestions that genuinely improved each book—not just the formatting. The interior layouts are clean and professional, the specs were handled correctly for both KDP and IngramSpark, and the EPUB conversion was done properly, so the files were truly press-ready. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and the Chisoms’ suggestions were always delivered in a calm style, and each project has been well-managed from start to finish. My book has earned multiple 5-star reviews, and the quality of the final product absolutely reflects that level of professionalism. I will work with Chisom again.
Publishing my first book felt like a big leap - almost impossible. Chisom and her team made it an incredible experience. Chisom is one of the warmest, most genuinely caring people I've worked with. She not only took a real interest in my book (which is a very narrow and niche professional audience), but also in me. I always knew exactly where we were in the process, and the team kept me encouraged and confident the entire way. The Publishing Pad is professional, organized, and truly a joy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in bringing my book to life and I have recommended to everyone I know who wants to publish theirs.
The Publishing Pad is the answer to a prayer that I made. I encountered a number of challenges with the editing, publishing and distribution of my book. I found The Publishing Pad, and they were a sherpa that guided me through the process in a way that was encouraging, detail-oriented, and resolute. The offered advice, made suggestions, and were really the rock I leaned on to make sure this book made it into the world. I cannot recommend this company enough. Thinking of writing a book? let them be your one-stop shop. I will continue to recommend and use them forever.
Chisom is Brilliant! She stepped in at a crucial time for me and took my book to a whole new level. She was the best decision I made to get my book published with excellence. She was organized, strategic, knowledgeable, and thorough. She kept me informed throughout the process and went above and beyond. I never had to worry or feel overwhelmed in the process because she was always there every step of the way. I was never alone. Even after the book was published, she was tracking to see when we hit bestseller status and had taken the photos as proof. I am so blessed to have worked with her.
Working with Chisom Ezeh and The Publishing Pad has genuinely been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my writing journey. From start to finish, the level of professionalism, care, and strategic insight was nothing short of exceptional. Chisom’s expertise in publishing is deep, thoughtful, and tailored. It is not one size fits all. She took the time to understand my voice, my needs, my goals, and my creative vision, then helped me refine every piece with clarity and precision. Her guidance transformed what felt like a daunting process into an empowering and enriching experience. The Publishing Pad team operates with heart, intelligence, and impressive attention to detail.

Chisom and The Publishing Pad team were instrumental in getting our book to publication. She and her team were great to work with on this journey! Highly recommend.
5/5 stars, no notes, pure satisfaction! Chisom helped me launch my second book in a way I would not have been able to do myself. As a result, 'Monday With Molly' became a #1 Amazon best-seller. I truly appreciated her communication, timely responses and expert navigational skills for this launch. If you're on the fence about hiring someone to edit and launch your book, Chisom is your solution.
I used Chisom for the formatting of my 4-book series. The level of expertise and professionalism was outstanding. I will continue to use the services of Chisom for all my future formatting work. Great work at a very reasonable price- many thanks Chisom.
I had the absolute best experience with The Publishing Pad. Chisom is amazing and goes above and beyond completely exceeding my expectations. My first book with her rated number one it’s first week on Amazon! I will always seek services from this exceptional company. This is your one stop shop. I appreciate The Publishing Pad so much!
I had an amazing experience working with you. You were very thorough and patience as this was my first self-published book and your guidance helped me tremendously through this process. Thank you for believing in me.
The Publishing Pad is an outstanding partner for any author. Their team combines professionalism, creativity, and genuine care in every step of the publishing journey. They not only guided me through editing, design, and production, but also helped shape the larger strategy to ensure my book launch was successful.

Amazing Very professional and detailed. Accountable and friendly
Best group of people to ever worth with
Chisom exceeded our expectations as editor and launch coordinator for a comprehensive anthology project. With her guidance, we achieved Amazon Best Seller Status AND Hot New Release in 3 categories! She was warm, talented, knowledgable and exceptionally professional throughout the entire process. We highly recommend her for all your publishing needs.
Chisom’s and The Publishing Pad team is an absolutely phenomenal company and group to work with. This was my first book launch and publishing experience and they were so kind, knowledgeable, patient, professional and so much more. It truly felt like a collaborative experience and they treated the book as if it were their own. Even the audio book experience they walked me through has been extremely helpful. Forever grateful and excited to work on my next project with them. I recommend The Publishing Pad and Chisom to all aspiring authors.

Author Stories
In Their Own Words
To publish my first book, I found with Chisom and The Publishing Pad exactly what I was looking for: knowledgeable, competent, diligent experts in all the steps needed to bring my book from complete draft to published product. The editing work was very thoughtful and comprehensive – pointing out ways to make the whole message tighter and clearer. The Publishing Pad folks are experts at navigating Amazon, Kindle, and IngramSpark to complete the publishing process and get the books (e-book, paperback, and hardcover) available for sale. The layout, indexing, and cover design work was also very high quality. Chisom was quick to respond to my questions, and always met her deadlines. Chisom was also a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Chisom and The Publishing Pad to other authors looking for professional assistance publishing their books.
Erwin MartinezAuthor, Writing Business Decision Papers
Chisom Ezeh is my book publisher. When I hired her to help me publish my book, I was nervous and didn’t have a big vision for the book. I thought I would only quietly release an ebook. She encouraged me to think bigger. To dream bigger. To tell the world my story because so many people needed to hear it and not just my inner circle. Chisom guided me through the final manuscript by making sure my messages were clear, my voice and personality shined through on paper, and helped me gain confidence to know that my book was worthy enough to be published. She was simply amazing throughout the entire process. Thank you The Publishing Pad for an amazing book journey! If you are thinking about writing and publishing a book and don’t know where to start or to do next, definitely schedule a consultation with Chisom. She can walk you through the process and ensure you have a successful book launch.
Rachel BickhamAuthor, An Entrepreneurial Leap
Chisom Ezeh, the Founder and CEO of the Publishing Pad, knows her business inside and out! To get my latest book, CECELIA BY MOONLIGHT, up and running, I needed someone with her thorough knowledge of the publishing industry -- that and her COMPLETE grasp of the myriad, computer-based skills necessary to get a book designed, edited, and into the marketplace. And in Ms. Ezeh, I found exactly the Pro I needed! Chisom Ezeh is not just deeply competent; she's also warm and caring, attentive to every detail, and remarkably patient -- a natural-born encourager. If I made any mistakes in the process -- and I assure you I did -- she was there right away -- with a smile and a rock-hard commitment -- to help me repair them. Still have some residual negative feelings about self-publishing? GET OVER THEM! Proven competence, combined with personal warmth, patience, and a genuine passion for the book publishing adventure, is what all writers need and yearn for. You can either wait around for the Big-City hotshots to discover you or search for -- and find -- a person with the skills and devotion you need. I was no longer willing to wait for Corporate Approval. As with my first two books, I knew this book was well done. I wanted it to be available to avid and discriminating readers. All I needed to do was to find someone with patience, my sky-high standards as a writer, and a passion for helping me make my book a reality. And you DID it, Ms. Ezeh! Chisom Ezeh, and her Baby, The Publishing Pad, ROCK!
Ross Alan BachelderAuthor, Cecelia by Moonlight
The people at The Publishing Pad are wonderful. They take on your book as though it is their own. Such attention to detail. Quality service. We will definitely continue to utilize The Publishing Pad. Thank you!
Victor McGuireAuthor, Conversation About Being a Coach
I contacted The Publishing Pad for support for the part of my book post-production to get it on Amazon. What I didn't expect is that my book designer would pass away weeks away from our publishing date with still a few edits and not the final copies for the eBook or the softcover. The Publishing Pad stepped in and made me feel so relaxed as they took over getting my files ready for print and for the ebook, uploading them, taking care of all the Amazon pieces of the book and joining me for our celebration virtual Launch. They are professional, very knowledgeable, very easy to work with and truly a must-have company for anyone wanting to self-publish with ease.
Diana LockettAuthor, The Call to Freedom
I recently worked with The Publishing Pad to proofread, edit, and upload my first book on Amazon KDP and Ingram, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was incredibly attentive and responsive, answering all of my questions and making sure that the final product was exactly what I envisioned. Chisom in particular went above and beyond practically holding my hand along the process and ensuring that we put out a high quality product. Upon launch, my book made it to #1 in new releases on Amazon in 2 of the 3 categories we submitted for! I would highly recommend The Publishing Pad to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality publishing partner.
Janny PerezAuthor, Nobody Told Me This About Raising a Bilingual Child
We had a fantastic experience collaborating with The Publishing Pad. They went above and beyond to deliver top-notch proofreading and formatting for our book. What stood out was their excellent communication and dependability during the entire process. The Publishing Pad was also incredibly proactive, checking in on us even after their work was done to make sure our publication process went smoothly and offering their assistance whenever needed. I wouldn't hesitate to work with The Publishing Pad again and highly recommend their services to one and all!

If you're an author who is eager to publish a book, and you don't wish to wait months to hear back from publishers after sending out publishing queries, and you're considering self-publishing, --do yourself a favor and contact The Publishing Pad. They will read your book, edit it (if needed), design a cover for it, and essentially, get it ready for publishing on Amazon in any format that you desire. I went to Publishing Pad with a memoir, and they took care of the details related to formatting my book's cover, and uploading the completed book to Amazon in two different formats. ,When that process went smoothly (relieving me of the headache that I would have surely experienced had I done it on my own), I had them publish another book for me. This time in the process there were a couple hiccups, but the issues were patiently addressed and corrected. I have several other books that I would like to publish, and it's truly a good feeling to know that when I'm ready to proceed with the rest of them, I will be in good hands with the Publishing Pad!
Candia Lea ColeAuthor, Eco-Intelligent Remedies for Autism Spectrum that Think Outside the Box
Working with Chisom and The Publishing Pad was wonderful! She was supportive, timely, and thoughtful in helping me get to the finish line. I 100% know she made my book come to life, and was such a pleasure to work with. Navigating big stuff with publishing and little things in editing went so smoothly -- thank you TPP!!
Bina PatelAuthor, Say The Quiet Part Out Loud
Chisom is the absolute best. She was able to help me format by book, which had over 200 illustrations, in both Word and InDesign. She is a technical savant when it comes to software. Plus, she knows the ins and outs of the book industry, which made my life much easier when I came to her with my million specific questions. If you're looking for a true professional, then look no further.
Clement DecropAuthor, The Idea Space: The Science of Awakening Your Non-Self
OMG!! Chisom is amazing. I'm so, so grateful to have found her and worked with her on this project! I knew I needed a lot of different professionals to pull this book off (designer, editor, indexer, etc) and I hated the idea of wrangling all these folks into my book (did that about 10 years ago!). Chisom and the Publishing Pad were my one-stop-shop for it all!! Chisom was fast in responding and in executing what needed to be done, and in handling all the back end getting the book up on various platforms. I just can't say enough about her and her work. I highly recommend her!
Shannon KnappAuthor, Horse Sense Business Sense
Working with Chisom was great from start to finish. She had a lot of patience with me, and made all the tweaks that I could have requested. I would highly recommend her for anyone, looking to get their book, published professionally! I will be doing my second book with her as well!
Raeanna LayfieldAuthor, Forage and Eat with the Seasons
We hired Chisom to help us copy edit and launch a new book in the Health & Wellness space. This was a completely new process to me and Chisom provided fantastic service & support throughout the entire process. The book was 60,000 words and required a lot of editing, for which Chisom was very patient and understanding about. Then when it came to getting the ISBN's, creating the book layout, cover, uploading it to Amazon & IngramSpark, she managed everything exceptionally well. I would highly recommend Chisom to anyone wanting an expert for copy editing and book launches, especially for Amazon and IngramSpark. She's also a lovely person to work with.
Liane ChaseAuthor, Still Living Longer Stronger
Two years ago I set out on a mission to get my husbands five manuscripts into print. I knew nothing about the publishing industry but I was reading that being an indie author was trending so we decided to go that route. I searched around and found The Publishing Pad. With Chisom's guidance and expertise we were able to launch the project. She directed us in every step and offered excellent suggestions. Thank you Chisom for your hard work and guidance which lead us to reach our goal of getting those five manuscripts into print. sam&dave and the Princess Motivating Children Shooting Back Sacrifices Monarchs Are Not Butterflies
