I submitted I Feel Like I’ve Met You Before to Franklin Publishers because I understood their marketing to describe a traditional publishing arrangement in which the publisher covers editing and publication costs. During our discussions, I was asked to contribute $1,300 toward editorial work. Franklin explained that this was an editorial contribution rather than a publication fee, with publication dependent on completing revisions and receiving editorial clearance. That distinction did not resolve my concern about the difference between the arrangement I expected from their marketing and the one offered to me. I made clear that I was willing to undertake substantial revisions and respond to editorial guidance, but would not proceed with the proposed author payment. My one-star rating concerns transparency and the trust lost during this process—not whether they chose to publish my book. Any circumstances in which authors may be asked to pay for required editorial work should be clearly disclosed before submission. I sincerely hope Franklin improves that clarity for future authors.

Working with Franklin Publishers has been an exceptional experience from beginning to end. What initially felt like an overwhelming process became organized, efficient, and enjoyable thanks to the outstanding guidance I received throughout my publishing journey. I especially want to recognize **Noah Coen**, who served as my literary agent. Noah made the entire process, from my first manuscript draft to holding a published book in my hands, feel remarkably seamless. He was professional, responsive, patient, and genuinely invested in the success of my project. Every question was answered promptly, every step was clearly explained, and I always felt supported and informed. Publishing a book can be intimidating, but Noah's expertise and attention to detail gave me confidence throughout the journey. His ability to coordinate each stage of editing, production, and publication made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well managed. If you're looking for a publishing team that values authors and delivers a professional experience, I highly recommend Franklin Publishers. If you have the opportunity to work with Noah Coen, you will be in excellent hands. His commitment to his authors and dedication to making the publishing process as effortless as possible truly set him apart. Thank you to Noah and the entire Franklin Publishers team for helping bring my book to life. I could not be happier with the experience.

The project manager (Noah) was very efficient in getting the pickle cookbook out in a fast turn around time of only 4 months. I have worked with 4 different project managers in the span of about 1 1/2 years and they were not able to do what he did. I liked the way he communicated with me almost every step of the way from start to finish. I would recommend him to anyone trying to publish there first or even 20th book. He definately has been doing this a long time and is truly an expert in his field. I will in fact be using him and Franklin for my second book to publish.

Edward and Nicole are amazing. Both are very understanding of my goals with my first book The adventures of Uncle Rabbit. The support and guidance , the conference calls speaking about every detail makes the difference. Thank you ! For helping me make my dreams come true 🐈‍⬛

Personal, up to date. Solid check ins. Progress continually communicated. ❤️‍🔥 The books name is Glamour and Truth Guidance brilliant editing I thought the editor understood me better than I do. lol

Edward at Franklin Publishers You and your team at Franklin Publishers are incredible. As a first time author I had no idea what I was getting into. Signing with you was the best thing I ever did. You were more than patient with me and always responded when I had questions. Madison did an excellent job in editing my dis jointed manuscript, turning it into a real book. Then your follow up in getting it published in record time was amazing. I am looking forward to my next book with Franklin Publishers. Jim

Fantastic experience if you want to work with a hybrid publisher overall! From October 2025-June 2026, I worked alongside Noah Cohen and Michelle Estor to publish my fantasy novel Red Thread Thea Tapestry. Everyone from the animation team for YouTube Channel, to the copy editors (Chloe I adore ya), website designer( Faith) , and beyond made sure my finalized manuscript honored my wishes and challenged me to evolve the story with better context and sharper clarity. I had been working for over 15 years on my series and was nervous to self-publish or indie publish, however, the hybrid publishing collaboration really was the best of both worlds for me. I would recommend having a fully finished manuscript ( I deep edited mine twice before I sent it in to be evaluated) so the focus can be enhancing and evolving the original text versus trying to hand them a half-finished fan fiction. If you have a good manuscript and willingness to work with an experienced and professional team that prescreens works and focused on elevating them and highlighting the author’s intent and passion, then Franklin Publishers will be a good fit for you! I will be working with them on the next two books in the series as well because I trust they will produce the same quality and intentionality to all my novels!

Working with Franklin Publishers on my first book was a truly positive experience. They supported me through every step of the publishing process with professionalism, care, and consistency. Noah was especially helpful throughout, always attentive, patient, and generous with his guidance. I’m very grateful for the support I received and proud of the finished result.
