Elmer S. says, "This company was fantastic. They contacted me within 10 mins of me posting my project. We discussed the project and they were very excited about it and we discussed and negotiated a price and time frame. As the project progressed they informed me that the scope of the project was a little larger than anticipated. I was willing to sacrifice quality for a speedy turnaround. We agreed on a new delivery dat. They hit that target. Not only that but the did not compromise on the quality of the editing and formatting that I gave them permission not to do. So they went above and beyond to produce a higher quality than expected within the time constraints that we had agreed upon. I had initially told them that there were about 250 poems to edit it ended up being 403. Ouch. They did all this additions work with no extra charge and at a standard of work that we both could be proud of. This is very unusual in these commercialized times people seem to have less pride in what they do and give the lowest out put possible and overcharge. This company was the exact reverse. 4 other companies tried to get my business. I will be using them in the future for all my needs in publishing. I hope this review will help you select a company that will allow you to enjoy your project process. My hats off to them for a job well done."See more

Pearl J. says, "I eventually reached out to GW after months of searching for the appropriate grants for our nonprofit. I spent two hours with their consultant, who thoroughly examined our activities and mission. They helped us choose which grant possibilities to pursue first and unearthed options I never would have discovered on my own. Two grants have been obtained six months later. It was well worth the initial consultation price."See more

Daniel B. says, "Some investments help your business. Others elevate your entire vision. Working with Brian Kurian and his team has done exactly that for me. Brian first helped me with bringing my book to life through ghostwriting and developmental editing, but the value of our work together quickly expanded far beyond the book. He is also helping me create and scale my speaking business, private membership community, and coaching business with a level of strategy, clarity, and support that has been nothing short of exceptional. What makes Brian different is that he does not operate transactionally. He is deeply invested in the success of the people he serves. He listens, he challenges you to think bigger, and he brings real wisdom to the table. He and his team have overdelivered every step of the way. I also want to specifically recognize Mark and Jhazline for the tremendous help they have been providing with my book. Their contributions have been significant, and I truly appreciate the care and professionalism they brought to the project. To put it simply, I would have paid twice as much for this level of support. On a personal level, Brian has become a trusted friend and an outstanding mentor. That says a lot. It is rare to find someone who can combine heart, excellence, business acumen, and creative talent at this level. I am so confident in Brian and the work he does that I will also be joining him for a special in-person VIP Day workshop at the end of April 2026. If you are considering working with Brian Kurian and his team, my advice is simple: do it. They are the real deal."See more
