I Love It When We Read Together
“Mission Point Press has just the right touch in guiding, supporting, and encouraging confidence in hybrid publishing. Working with their professional team to launch my first children’s picture book was educational, rewarding, and inspiring.”

They Called Me Burnt Head Collard Greens
“Working with Mission Point Press was incredibly rewarding. As a first-time author, the publishing process felt overwhelming, but Heather Shaw’s patience and guidance made everything manageable. Thanks to MPP, my book quickly gained interest and positive reviews. For a truly satisfying publishing experience, I highly recommend Mission Point Press!”

Mama Sugar Bear
“The team was at my side from the ground up, always answering my emails and phone calls and making sure I knew what I was doing. No question was too dumb for them, and if they couldn't answer my questions they referred me to the person who could help. They were fun and funny; supportive and encouraging; and they knew the business of writing a children's book. They also put me in touch with the artist who turned out to be my wonderful illustrator.”
