Cheryl came into my life at a providential time when I needed someone to help me publish my book and someone to build me a new, updated web site for my ministry work. Cheryl did both of these things. As a technologically-challenged senior citizen, I found Cheryl's knowledge and advice very helpful.
As a a man who is rather nit-picky about aesthetics and professionalism, I am very pleased with the outcome of both of these projects. As a matter of fact, I was so pleased with Cheryl's work that I insisted she add $50 to the invoice as a tip for her great work.

I want to honor Cheryl Semick and shine a little light on what it was like to work with her on my very first book project. As a novice coming in clueless ~ lol ~ of the processes or any other needed services she would soon provide, I was blessed with her willingness to help me! Her patience and endurance in walking through the many ~ faceted journey of bringing my book into concrete form, her efficiency in the technical and program aspects to bring it into being, and her enthusiasm in joining with me in the vision and purpose of my book, titled, Worthy Words, was off the charts amazing!
​
She was professional, efficient, caring, patient, and was willing to work so hard toward completion, enduring when things were tough for us both, to press in with me to completion! My book, in some ways, was extra challenging and, together we pressed on over 4 years to bring it into reality, so the revelations in it could be shared with the world.
Cheryl saw the vision and value of the book, and lovingly supported me as we continued in faith, so this book could bring glory to our Savior.

I have never encountered someone as dedicated or who pays as much attention to detail as Cheryl Semick.
When I hired Cheryl I thought I was just getting an editor, but she turned out to be so much more. Her knowledge of the book creating process runs deep and we were also lucky to discover she also has a creative side.
Whenever I thought I had a great idea (for my book cover, for example) she would add a personal touch that would take the design to the next level.
Her quality of work is fantastic and it seems you can reach her day or night when she is on your project. If I write another book there is no-one else I would hire for the editing and typesetting but Cheryl!

​
Sadly, my dear friend and long-time client, Brenda, died this past February, the day after I published her memoir. I was privileged to spend her last week on earth with her working day and night to get it done before she went to be with her Savior, Jesus Christ. I'm working with her family now to get her memoir out for public purchase. I miss this dear friend very much and was very blessed by her encouragement and counsel. She is the one who God spoke through the most to guide me and inspire me to not only create my own independent press, but to grow and flourish in the skills and gifts He placed in me.
