It's been my pleasure to help numerous writer's become self-published children's book authors. Here's just a very small selection of the wonderful comments over the years that authors have said in regards to the artwork for their books and to working with me: "You
asked me to let you know how my book has been received last time
we spoke. It has been wonderful ! Everyone is impressed with the
artwork and those who had not read the story before loved it. I've
gotten several notes of congratulations as well. Thank you again
for all your work, I'll definately ask you to do the next one as
soon as I'm ready." "My
book is making the rounds. The librarian at Slater/Marietta schools
has reviewed it and raved about it. As soon as school gets underway
they want me to come in and read it to the children. I've also dropped
off a copy at Anderson and Travelers Rest, SC public libraries.
Thanks to your illustrations and my story, Valley Dogs is sure to
be a hit!" "I
already received a couple of copies of Book 1 and it looks great.
I sent a copy to my parents and they both were impressed as well.
Thanks again for the illustrations and for helping with the publishing.
Later today, I'll be sending you Book 2." "My
copy has arrived from the publisher, Authorhouse. The illustrations
are vibrant and fun. The book is beautiful." "Once
again Mike, you and your skilled staff have come through for me
and my project. The attention to detail is not only excellent artistry,
but is to be commended. I am very happy with my finished product
and thankful once again my vision of the artwork for my project
was captured, as I knew it would be. My finished book has been complimented
over and over again. The one constant praise by everyone is what
a wonderful story and how beautiful and amazing the details are
of the illustrations. It was a pleasure working with you and your
staff again and I hope to work together on more of my future work." "I
received the book and it looks absolutely amazing! Everyone that
has seen it has been incredibly impressed… I cannot begin to
thank you and your staff for the amazing job that you have done
on this project!" "When
I wrote my book Monster Bash, I never would have imagined the illustrations
to be as beautiful as they are. Mike is such a gifted "I
would like to commend you on your professionalism and the wonderful
talent of the artist who did the work. You both made what I thought
would be a very arduous experience, extremely easy and enjoyable,
and I wouldn't hesitate to use your services again." "I
chose Mike Motz's illustration group, as a first time writer, because
his website was extremely user friendly. Upon emailing him with
primary my desires and ideas, he responded within less than two
days, as were all of our other correspondences. He also assisted
me with questions outside of his immediate realm and was thoroughly
helpful in my finding a reputable publisher. His production of the
materials - the black & whites and the colors - came in a far
sooner than was agreed upon and were as wonderful as I could have
hoped. I would recommend Mike Motz to anyone I know who is looking
for an illustrator and definitely plan to use his services for my
future books!" "It
was a great pleasure working with you, Mike. You were very precise,
honest and took time out to even talk about certain questions I
had. The illustrations came out exactly like I expected. I am very
happy with the work. I will definitely hire you again for my next
children's book." "I
wanted to say thank you for the wonderful work on creating my illustrations.
I gave you a description of my story and you brought my book to
life. I never had to ask for any changes, you were always on target.
I will be using you for my future books." "My
book is in 5 stores and I sell it at tractor shows, etc. It looks
amazing and I get compliments from everybody about the illustrations.
I have told several people about your website and what excellent
work you do, so hopefully you'll get work from the referral. The
illustrations are perfect advertising because they are so awesome!" "As
a first time self-publisher, I was thrilled with the ease of working
with Mike. He is professional, committed and has a slew of talented
illustrators to make your book come to life. I would recommend him
to anyone." "I
thought I would let you know that our books are in sixteen centers
for family services in Utah, as well as homeless and woman's shelters
in Oregon and libraries in Kansas. The bright colors in the wonderful
illustrations are delighting a lot of kids as we speak. Thanks Mike." "Your
illustrations truly brought my book to life and I'll always be grateful
to you for that. When I look at it, it's perfect, the way I always
envisioned it to be. Your drawings, the vibrant colors, the facial
expressions, the details... everything very much to my liking." "Mike,
as a first time author, you have provided me with direction and
advice that is priceless. The illustrations are beautiful and really
bring the meaning of the book to life. The insight and creativity
of the illustrations exceeded my highest expectations! Everyone
who has seen the illustrations have been extremely impressed. Thank
you for bringing I AM into reality.)" "I
have been holding "Bubble Gum Dreams" to myself for many
years, not knowing how to go about sharing it, being a first-time
author. From the first illustration I received from Mike, I knew
I had found the right person. It was the highlight of my day to
see what glorious, vibrant vision he would send next. He has brought
my words to life and I cannot thank him enough for making a dream
come true that I treasure so dearly." "Mike,
working with you has been a pleasure and a blessing! Since this
was the first time I needed an illustrator for my first picture
book, "Wendy Wonders: Why Are We Different", I was unsure
of the process and heard some horror stories. Also because I was
on a budget, I thought getting professional looking illustrations
would be impossible. But when I came across your website and your
sample pictures, I instantly knew I wanted to work with you. Since
the first email meeting to the end of this process, you have been
timely, accurate and professional! And budget friendly!!! I will
definately use you on my next Wendy Wonders Series project. And
I look forward to a long working relationship. May God continue
to bless you!" "I
found the whole process enjoyable and although my computer skills
are limited Mike's website made it easy. Mike was very patient with
my requests and the suggestions he made were very helpful. Thanks
again Mike." "Mike,
thanks for all that you have done. You have made publishing my first
book a truly enjoyable experience. Your professionalism and expertise
has helped streamline the process tremendously. The artwork is amazing
and I will definitely be bringing book 2 to you." "I
knew from the moment my book was written that I wanted to have professional
illustrations help bring my story alive. I searched the internet,
made a number of inquiries, and then thankfully discovered your
web site. The Mikemotz.com site provided the most helpful information
concerning illustrating and publishing books. I contacted you and
my project was begun immediately. We communicated by email as I
reviewed and commented on the sketches and color illustrations.
My project was completed in just three weeks and I now have professional,
artistic, and insightful illustrations that are now very much a
part of my book." "I
never wrote a book before but I knew it would need pictures because
it was a children's book. I couldn't find anyone to draw pictures
for my book so I started searching the internet. Mike Motz's name
came up. His website was friendly and easy to read. I took a chance
and e-mailed Mike. He responded quickly. I was concerned about having
slow dial up internet service and he reassured me that we could
make it work. I was thrilled with his sketches and even more so
with the colored pictures. I found Mike easy to talk to and I love
his work." "This
whole experience was better than I expected! Mike Motz was straightforward
and professional. All of my questions were answered in a timely
manner. And, best of all...he respected my 'vision'. The contract
was simple and the payment schedule was fair and easy. This is my
first children's book and I can't tell you how amazing it was to
see my words come to life with someone I trusted...thanks Mike!."
