"My publishing experience has been genuinely rewarding. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with a publisher who trusted me with creative control, especially regarding the cover art and other artistic decisions. James Francis has been consistently supportive, approachable, and generous with his guidance whenever I had questions or doubts. The entire process felt collaborative and encouraging, and my experience with Drylam Ltd. Publishing has been nothing short of wonderful. I would be more than happy to work with them again in the future." - Kalindi Kri
