LOVE FOR MISSION POINT PRESS
What our authors have to say.
I have nothing but praise for my experience with Mission Point Press. In particular this goes for Heather Shaw, who in my long experience with editors at newspapers, Time Magazine and elsewhere was the best I’ve had.

Dark Side of the Mitten: Crimes of Power & Powerful Criminals In Michigan's Past & Present
I am so relieved to be able to publish this book through MPP. By working with my team at MPP, I can concentrate on being an author, while the professional staff handles the editing, advertising, distribution, marketing and so on. It is stress relieving and I get to focus on being an author. I was recently brought to tears of joy upon seeing the press release!
