“Publishing my book with Dean Publishing has been a game changer for me and my program the Level Up Formula — we help our clients turn their expertise into scalable online courses and Dean Publishing does exactly the same for people that want to be successful authors. It’s opened up unexpected opportunities, like features in Forbes and MYOB, and brought in readers eager to work with me directly. While hard to quantify, I’d estimate it’s generated over $90k in revenue, thanks Susan and team! “

“Susan runs the most incredible publishing company anyone could ever ask to work with. I know that sounds like an over-the-top statement, but the reason Dean Publishing is so incredible is because of Susan, her family and her team.

They are highly skilled at what they do, but most importantly they are great people who genuinely care for their clients. They’re the real deal.

When you write a book, you want to ensure you partner with someone who you trust and feel proud to deliver your work – and I certainly feel proud to have partnered with Susan and Dean Publishing!

“Writing a book, especially one that is partly autobiographical, is a huge task, not only in time but emotionally as well. The person you trust with your story needs to not only have your best interests at heart, but understand that your book is your ‘baby’. Susan and the team she has put together provide the upmost support and guidance not only to get your book published but to be there for you every step of the way. If you have a book in you she is the only choice!”

“Meeting Susan was truly a blessing, I had been trying to write a book for months and kept hitting some major blocks. As a result of meeting Susan and having the incredible Dean Publishing team behind me, I was able to publish my book in 6 days. Dean Publishing took the impossible and made it possible and I am forever grateful. Not only was my book published they took care of all of the printing, design, content creation and distribution.

Ignite Your Spark launched on Amazon and became a best selling book in under 3 hours. As a result of Dean Publishing Ignite Your Spark has been stocked in WH Smith, Target, Angus and Robertson, Booktopia, Book depository and more.

Thank you so much for enabling me to share my story, going above and beyond!”

I thoroughly enjoyed every part of my experience with Susan Dean Publishing House, from the very first phone call to the visit to Dean Manor. Working with the editor was smooth and collaborative, and I felt fully supported throughout the process, including in the online community. One of the highlights was a beautiful lunch where Susan presented and gave generous support. The care, professionalism, and warmth shown at every stage made the experience not only valuable but genuinely memorable. I loved having
What stood out most was the generous personal support.
Susan gave their time to attend my book launch, and Susan graciously accepted my invitation to speak about my writing on the day. It meant a great deal to have them there not just as publishers, but as genuine champions of my work.
