I am grateful to David Stokes and Critical Mass Publishing for their encouragement and direction in the writing and publishing of my book Living with Passion. The process from beginning to end was clear, positive and provided me freedom to focus on writing. I wholeheartedly endorse David and Critical Mass.

— Matt Miklasz, Evangelical Free Church of America

When you’re ready to self publish, you have a hundred options. If you want to get your once in a lifetime experience right, you really have only one... Critical Mass.

— Joe Knight, KNIGHTsong Ministries

Being a first time author I had no idea where to start on getting my book published. Critical Mass Publishing and David Stokes was definitely the place to start. They took the time to explain the whole process to me and allowed me to walk through the process with them as they did all the work. I would highly recommend Critical Mass publishing for both new and experienced authors.

— Michael Haley, Author of Positioning Your Life for BREAKTHROUGH

“Critical Mass publishing came along at the right time for me. I had a book that I thought was important to ‘put out there’ so to speak, yet the traditional publishing houses found my subject matter too esoteric. It seemed that self-publishing was my only option…but where to begin?  I had checked out other self-publishers, but I found it very difficult to understand what a ‘good deal’ was, how the self-publishing industry worked, what details I needed to consider, and so on. David Stokes took the time to explain all of this to me. In publishing his own literary works over several decades, he has dealt with traditional publishers, agents, and self-publishing houses. He brought all of this trial and error into the formation of Critical Mass publishing, where he is able to look out for the interests of writers like me. Give him an opportunity to explain his approach and the advantages he can offer you over other self-publishers – it’s worth a few minutes of your time to hear his presentation.”

“There are many adjectives and descriptive phrases that come to mind when I assess my experience with Critical Mass Publishing. Among them are user-friendly, supportive, and professional. The process was not only productive and enjoyable, it was an experience that will cause me to recommend them to any and all. But the foremost adjective I’d use would be excellence. I never have been more pleased with the end product of a project I’ve undertaken as I am with the book we produced.”

“As a first time author I wholeheartedly endorse Critical Mass Publishing.  I had no clue what I was doing and the team at CMP took my hand and walked me through the entire process from beginning to end.  I am eternally grateful for David, Tracey and Eowyn.  They are truly godly individuals that have a grasp on whats required to not only get the book published, but also to make the book look like a book.”

“I cannot say enough about the personal attention I received from Critical Mass Publishing. As I entered into this project, my knowledge of the publishing world was limited at best. But having an experienced partner not only made the process simpler, it also took a load off my mind. Although I was involved every step of the way, Critical Mass was working behind the scenes to keep me on track, to answer my questions, and to help me avoid publishing pitfalls.”
