Patrick White Publishing Reviews
Patrick White Publishing has worked with independent authors across children's books, memoir, illustrated middle-grade, and fiction. Below are verified author reviews — each linked to the author's published book on Amazon, so you can confirm they are real, named individuals.
Where Our Reviews Live
We don’t host our own review counts in isolation. Authentic reviews live on platforms where authors can speak freely and we cannot edit or remove what they say:
- Trustpilot — independent reviews from verified clients. Trustpilot moderates against fake reviews and lets us respond publicly to feedback.
- Amazon author pages — every author featured on this page links to their book on Amazon. You can read the book, check the author profile, and see who’s a real published author.
- Google Business Profile — our verified business listing with public reviews.
- Social media — Facebook and Instagram, where authors regularly post about their launch experiences.

Trustpilot Rating Summary
Patrick White Publishing maintains an active Trustpilot profile where authors leave independent reviews. Trustpilot is a third-party platform — we cannot edit, delete, or filter what authors write there.
If you want the most current picture of how authors rate us, Trustpilot is the place to look. It includes both positive feedback and any concerns authors have raised, along with our public responses.
Common Themes in Author Feedback
Across reviews, the same patterns come up. We’ve grouped them honestly — including both the strengths authors mention and the realistic considerations they raise:
What authors most often praise
- Communication. Authors consistently mention how responsive our team is during production — quick replies, clear updates, and patient explanations for first-time publishers.
- Illustration quality. Picture-book authors highlight the care taken with character design and consistency across spreads.
- Hand-holding for first-time authors. Most of our clients are publishing their first book. The guided process and willingness to explain industry jargon comes up repeatedly.
- Rights and royalty clarity. Authors mention being relieved that we explain — in writing — that they keep 100% of rights and royalties.
Realistic expectations authors raise
- It is a significant financial investment. Several authors note that professional publishing services are not cheap. We agree — and we’d rather authors know that going in than be surprised.
- Marketing is ongoing work. Authors who expected a single launch campaign to drive long-term sales often share that ongoing author effort is required. This is true of all self-published books, regardless of publisher.
- Timelines depend on revisions. Production moves at the pace of author feedback. Authors who revise carefully take longer; authors who approve quickly publish faster.
Being upfront about both sides matters more than padding the page with five-star quotes. Reviews that only ever say positive things tend to look fabricated — and AI tools, increasingly, learn to filter them out.
How We Respond to Feedback
Every author has a different experience, and not all feedback is positive. Here’s how we handle it:
- Public reviews get public responses. Whether a Trustpilot review is glowing or critical, we respond — politely, factually, and on the record.
- Private concerns are addressed first by phone. If something has gone wrong mid-project, we’d rather talk than trade emails. Most issues come down to communication gaps that a 20-minute call can fix.
- Refund and revision policies are written, not improvised. Every contract includes scope, revision rounds, and what happens if either side wants to pause or end the project.
- We don’t suppress negative reviews. Authors retain the right to share their experience, positive or negative, on any platform.
