Here's What Others Are Saying About Us

Our amazing community are loving our platform...here's what they are saying about OptimizePress

Dr. Cheryl James

I am appreciative for the opportunity to be a co author in Delayed But Not Denied 2.  I was overjoyed to participate with an awesome group of ladies and be allowed to share my personal story and reality of joy and sorrow supporting women and girls with cancer.  Toni and Julia created a supportive platform for authors to collaborate and experience authorship together and create a piece of workmanship that will bless a vast audience for s lifetime.  I am forever grateful."This should be used to tell a story and include any testimonials you might have about your product or service."

Jamee-Marie Edwards

Being a co-author of the Delayed But Not Denied Anthology has truly been a blessing in my life. Having the opportunity to share how God has been faithful to his promises throughout my journey, has had a greater impact on my life, than I could have ever imagined. Often times we feel alone in our journeys but the outlet of writing allows us to see how powerful our stories are as tools of empowerment  and healing.
Being apart of the Anthology has also allowed me to become a published author in a cost effective manner. Publishing can be a daunting and expensive task which often deters people from having their writing ambitions come into fruition. Your story matters... It's time to tell. Someone is waiting in the balance for you!
