Orison Publishers, Inc., officially began on March 4, 2004.

Joy Bach
Author, Either Way It’s OK
My introduction to Orison Publishers, Inc., occurred on Facebook when I asked for help with uploading my book to IngramSpark. I received an instant response from Marsha Blessing and soon my book was available. Thus began a connection with Orison Publishers. Marsha is so responsive and cordial; she really listened to my desires for my next book. The cover design totally encapsulated the story in one picture. She made the process pleasurable and exciting. Book #4 was submitted to her on November 15, 2022. Three months later, it was ready for publication. I can definitely recommend that you utilize the services provided by Orison Publishers, Inc.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Marsha and the team at Orison. Their professional approach combined with a laid-back atmosphere made the publishing process a dream. Follow-through and follow-up were fantastic as well as their desire to make sure I was getting what I had hoped for. If you’re writing a book, I highly recommend Orison for the entire process from beginning to end.

I am blown away at how Marsha and Orison Publishers have made my dream come true, not just once but twice. I got to focus on being an author, and Marsha coached me through everything else that needed to happen. The process has been smooth, even with a pandemic. My opinion was always asked on every option and my approval was asked before finalizing plans. I will continue to use Orison Publishers for my books to come. I highly recommend them.

If you are considering using Orison Publishers, please do not hesitate to trust the publishing of your book to this amazing company! As a first-time author, I had a good manuscript but no knowledge of how to get my book published. Orison Publishers took my manuscript and provided expert personal help by guiding me through every step of the process! They provided me with an attractive cover, expert editing, formatting, publishing and setting up distribution! Now my book is on Amazon and can also be ordered online (or in person) at any bookstore, Target or Walmart in the country!

From my first conversation with Marsha, my experience working with Mercy & Moxie was stellar. In fact, everyone working as part of Orison Publishers’ team impressed me. From start to finish, I received prompt, respectful and helpful attention and guidance. The best part is that the finished product was even better than I anticipated. I highly recommend them.

Author, My Life With Gary
I came to Marsha to publish a book I had already written and illustrated. I have a Communications Degree from PSU and have worked in the industry for decades. I thought I was ready to go, but I quickly learned that I was not. This was because Marsha provided a perspective that I never considered, which included professional editing beyond typical grammar to ensure that the audience we wanted to get the book in front of had appropriate content. Marsha was very patient with me and did a lot of hand-holding. It was a process, and publishing a book is very personal. It requires someone to lead an author while being sensitive to a very personal subject matter. I’ve seen others go it alone, and there is a big difference in the look and feel of the publishing. If you want to be proud of your work, then you need to consider working with a professional like Marsha.

Marsha Blessing helped me write and illustrate my first children’s book. Marsha and her team were professional and easy to work with. They helped with editing of my writing to make it the best version of my original thoughts and provided clear guidance with all of my illustrations. This experience led to another author hiring me to illustrate two of his children’s books. I highly recommend Marsha Blessing and her team for the publication of your book; you will be pleased with their efficiency and knowledge of the publishing world.
