We have recently self published a Book entitled My Ten and a Half Arctic Convoys. It is the life story of Alec Penstone who is ninety eight and one of the last survivors of the Second World War Arctic Convoys and the D-Day Invasion of France.

We wanted to also turn the Book into a Kindle but struggled to do so. We came across Alexa's details and enlisted her help. She immediately took charge and shepherded us towards the transition of the Book to a Kindle. This she did with the minimum of fuss and she oversaw the uploading of it to Amazon Kindle.

It was a pleasure to work with her and we would not hesitate to use her services again.

Working with Alexa is an amazing experience. Her level of knowledge and expertise is immense. She has not only taught me so much but has been incredibly patient as I have wanted things to be "just so". A professional.

The end product is exactly what I wanted.

Thank you The (Brilliant)Book Refinery

The KDP system ( print on demand) that enables buyers to order and receive drive books directly from Amazon saves authors time and money. No longer do they have to wade through the order process and pay for postage to send a book to Amazon.

The Book Refinery provides an excellent KDP upload service that took less than half an hour to set up and resulted in  a book sale within hours. Another big plus for Alexa and her team.

After many publications with big publishers, I wanted to try to self-publish my next coaching book (in German) with Kindle. But then I kept getting stuck with small and big difficulties with the KDP program. I sought help from experts in Germany, but they responded very lethargically and left me hanging. I kept trying on my own, but it was a frustrating Sysiphos job: every time I thought everything was okay, I got unclear feedback and I had to start all over again.

That's when I had the idea to look for UK experts on the Internet and found The Book Refinery. Alexa was very prompt, uncomplicated, super competent and understanding. It was no problem for her that the book is written in German. Wonderful that I found her! Next, I am working on a translation into English. I will of course ask for help from Alexa again!

Until I contacted Alexa at The Book Refinery, (Compass Publishing) I was really struggling as no one out there was willing to help a struggling first time author. Alexa helped with the book verso, the barcode and when I felt it was the right time to put my book onto Amazon She set up the KDP upload. She did this for me in no time at all. I have recommended Alexa to several first time and previously published authors, they too have found her services invaluable.

I don't have a clue about the way that the Amazon KDP service works, so I decided to work with Alexa to help get my book onto Amazon. Alexa was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process.

She was able to talk me through technical aspects like having the book sized correctly - especially the margin. Alexa helped me to work through the KDP platform and that was invaluable to me. Prior to uploading the book, she gave me some clear instructions, and Alexas attention to detail helped make sure my book was published on Amazon without any issues.

Alexa was very patient and answered all my questions, no matter how stupid they might have been. Her postive attitude and constant encouragement made the entire experience fun! And she saved me a lot of time as well a the headache of having to do it myself.

And thanks to Alexa, my book's now available to readers worldwide! I'd highly recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a reliable person to help self-publishing their book on Amazon's KDP service.

Alexa is clearly incredibly knowledgeable and helped us with clear direction and advice. She went out of her way to help and provided very practical support that made it clear she wanted to help us get the best outcome.
