From Authors I've Worked With:
“When I first brought my Sasha stories to Ann-Marie, I had no idea what they could become. She took my ideas and helped me develop them into something far beyond what I had imagined. What began as one book grew into an entire series. Ann-Marie has been there through every part of the process—editing and developing the stories, art directing the illustrations, designing the books, and guiding them through publication. She somehow knows how to take what I see in my head and help bring it to life on the page, while still making sure the stories remain mine. Three books later, with an entire chapter-series ahead of us, I can honestly say I could never have done this without her. I couldn't be happier with what we've created together.”

— Paula Killyon, Author of Sasha’s Stories of Yet
(Amazon #1 Best Seller in Children's Martial Arts Books)
"I highly recommend Ann-Marie Murrell as an editor and a publisher. Her work for me has been amazing."
​
—Dr. Fredric Eichelman, Author of Life, Laughter and Redheads and A Cat's Tale series
