Testimonials

I have been really impressed with every aspect of publishing my book with Blue Ocean. From the initial clear explanation of the process and accurate price guide, every stage of the process has been pain-free. I’m particularly grateful for the help when I had no choice but to make last-minute changes, and for Angela’s general positive and optimistic attitude throughout Joanna Gutmann Author of An Effective Governor's Meeting |

Thank you Blue Ocean! Angela and her team are first class. The care and attention to detail Angela shows is just what a writer should be looking for in a publisher. I found her experience to be so useful in so many ways; couple that to her genuine desire to see a success and you have the recipe for success. Getting from the proof to the book store requires a set of skills and a level of experience most people are unaware of. I wrote my book in America and had it printed in America - working with a British publisher could have been awkward - but not with Angela. Apart from the professional help I also got a bonus - USA coverage, as expected, and then automatic inclusion in European catalogues. Thank you Angela and thank you Blue Ocean.

I would like to say thanks once again though for the help, actually holding nearly two years work in my hand is quite a thrill and the cover and layout are absolutely lovely. Rob Marshall Author of Don't let your Tea Go Cold |

Since 1996 Angela Wilde has been the guiding hand that has brought many of my print and game-based products to the marketplace. She has a sharp eye for detail, a real knack for researching and interpreting customer requirements, and a professional approach to the whole production process. Without doubt, she is skilled at what she does but, for me, what makes the difference is that Angela really cares.

I have known Angela Wilde in her professional capacity for over ten years, whilst she was the Commissioning Editor for a well-known, and highly respected, training publishing company. I was one of her authors of training manuals. Her attention to detail was astounding, and her advice and guidance was always given in a very positive and thought provoking manner. I quickly realised that any comment or advice from her on my work was well worth listening to, as she was nearly always right! I genuinely believe that the training manuals which I wrote were greatly improved by her inputs.

Angela Wilde is a dream to work with. She is enthusiastic, flexible and yet highly focused and professional. She understands the need for projects to have a clear focus, but that there might be a number of ways to 'crack the nut'. She is creative herself and supports creativity in her suppliers, her clients and her team. Martin Franks, Creative Director, The Real Max Media |
