Welcome to Ellen Reid
Since 1999, Ellen Reid has been assisting authors to
self-publish books of outstanding quality.
She is dedicated to the proposition that in order to
successfully compete in the highly lucrative book business, you need a book
that has all the characteristics of those of the mainstream publishers.
That is her strength and that is what she offers those
who come to her, whether for consulting or book shepherding, to hear her speak
or to participate in her up close & personal salon/workshops.
Ellen is proud that her mantra, “You must put your best
book forward,” has resulted in countless award-winning books for her clients.

Praise for "Putting Your Best Book Forward"
"All I can say if you are writing a book, just get this. I have wasted over $25,000 making bad choices in writing my first book. Until you have published your first book, you have no idea how many traps are awaiting you. Some books will motivate you but few give you a real roadmap to accomplish your goals. This one does that and more. Self publishing makes so much sense, I can see why the major publishing houses are losing huge market share every year. It reminds me of the time a few years ago that I switched from an expensive stock brokerage company to an inexpensive online broker. The more you can learn about this industry, the better your experience will be. I am thankful Ellen Reid has produced this great piece."

“Ellen Reid has an extraordinary eye for quality and is a genius at book producing and branding!”
— Dan Poynter, The Self-Publishing Manual
"Ellen Reid is a wizard. Her kindness, accessibility, and enthusiasm are legendary. She brings to the process great personal taste and near-obsession with quality to produce books that rival the best published. She has assembled a team of experts--designers, photographers, marketeers, publicists - with special attention to the explosive digital world--all to help get the book into the hands of the reader.
"Ellen's vision comes from years of distributing the very best independent films. And this tells us something about how she has raised the publishing of an independent book to a new level. Bravo, Ellen!"
— Esther and Richard Shapiro
Creators of Dynasty
“Ellen Reid helps authors realize their dreams of publishing without the pitfalls along the way and ensures that your book will be professionally produced to rival anything coming out of the major publishing houses.”
— Mike Daniels, Past President, Colorado Independent Publishers Association
