What our Authors Are Saying…
“Publishing my book with An Inc. Original was one of the best decisions I could have made. Not only are you affiliated with a strong, respected brand, you also get stellar design, distribution, and marketing help. I was very pleased with my final book.”
Sherry Stewart Deutschmann
Author of "Lunch with Lucy: Maximize Profits by Investing in Your People"
“As I wrote my 3rd book, I knew I wanted it to be a best seller and I knew I would need help. Working with An Inc. Original has been incredible. From the first moments, the team was engaged and excited about my book and showed a genuine willingness to help me make it the best possible. My editors guided me through the journey and the marketing team helped me launch it with purpose….and everyone made it easy! I was so impressed on launch day when the entire team made time to congratulate me. I truly felt like they had been there with me the whole time. And I am pleased to say that the book IS a best seller. I could not have done this process without them.”
Clara Capano
Author of "The Mother of All Success Manuals"
“Reading Inc. magazine as a kid inspired me to become an entrepreneur. It’s come full circle to have Founded published as An Inc. Original. The An Inc. Original team helped us turn our manuscript into a multi award-winning, bestselling book that has been integrated into the classrooms of high schools, colleges, and universities around the country.”
Melissa Kaufman
Co-author of "Founded: The No B.S. Guide for Student Entrepreneurs"
“I have been fortunate enough to work with Greenleaf Book Group and An Inc. Original on my book, Optimizing Strategy For Results. The team was fantastic in every respect. The proposal process was comprehensive and clear, the editorial process was particularly important because we needed developmental editing to complete a manuscript we were all pleased with, and the production process was thorough and precise. The Greenleaf team put together a strong marketing plan and handled all of the contracting details once we received the An Inc. Original agreement to publish.”

“An Inc. Original is a fantastic place for my two books, GRIND and GROW, to live. The level of exposure to business leaders has been a powerful boost to my project in general and the books specifically. I will be using Greenleaf Book Group to place my third book there for sure!”

“Greenleaf Book Group have been superb partners for a decade. My book, Patients Come Second, was originally published in 2013 and then re-released as a paperback in 2018 both on their An Inc. Original imprint. I was humbled to achieve Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and USA Today bestselling status and to share our message to transform the healthcare industry. I could not have done it without their sage guidance and support.”
Paul Spiegelman
Author of "Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead"
“I’ve referred multiple authors to An Inc. Original based on my experience publishing Iterate. Being aligned with a well-established and respected brand was ideal, plus the team provided valuable help with editorial direction, design, distribution, and marketing. Most importantly, they worked collaboratively with me so that the final product served both the business book market and my firm’s brand.”
