Testimonials 

"I knew I was supposed to write this book. My problem was I had no idea where to even start. But when I met Jody Dyer, I knew it was going to happen. Jody walked me through the process and stayed with me all the way to the publishing of my book. I could not have done it without her. She was my mentor and now I am honored to call her my friend."

"What a joy it was to work with Jody as she was so helpful in providing her knowledge and skills in publishing a short story/book my wife wrote. I wanted to get it published for her birthday as a surprise to her but had no idea where to start. I immediately thought of Jody, called her, told her what I wanted to do, and she took the reigns and kept me informed on what was happening. She also (without us even knowing this was on option) got the book listed on Amazon and we have sold a few!! Super awesome! Super lady!"

"Jody has been there every step of the way, willing and able to handle any issues in a timely and professional manner. She understands I write for the love of writing. She accepts I sometimes do not follow 'the rules' as imparted by my well-known college creative professor who said, and I quote, 'learn the rules, then do what you damn well please!' I do not hesitate to recommend her company, as they deem worthy of publishing your work."

"Until Your class, I believed traditional publishing was like winning the lotter, and self publishing felt like a participation ribbon. I was losing hope after hearing my friend spent $30K on hybrid publishing. But your class changed everything. I learned that hybrid doesn't have to cost a fortune, and that self-publishing is completely respectable. You gave me hope and momentum. That night, I kissed my kid and stayed up writing until 2 AM, powered by pure adrenaline. It felt great!"

"Jody Dyer and Crippled Beagle Publishing transformed a dream into reality, and now I have a collection of the best poems I've ever written over the last 60 years. Like the GPS in my car, Jody guided me through the twisted and convoluted paths of the publishing process. I would never have been able to do this on my own. In addition to this service, Jody is a continuous source of inspiration, encouragement, and productive criticism. Always full of energy and ideas, she infused me with confidence and the knowledge that I can do this."

Carmen Nappo
Atmospheric Physicist and Poet

"Last year my ten year old son, Samuel, decided to write a book. Samuel has loved to read and has written numerous "books" since he was six years old. While talking to Jody one day she suggested publishing one of his books. We didn't even know where to begin doing something like that. Jody helped us every step of the way. She edited his book, gave suggestions, and even helped with the structure of his book. She helped to make the process seem not so daunting. Samuel's book was published within one month. He was so excited the day we pulled up Amazon and searched for his name."

H. Wilson
Businesswoman and Mother

"When I began this project, my biggest concern was simply finishing and publishing a book. Jody's encouragement and her team's guidance gave me the confidence I needed to believe I could do it. Each step of the process was clearly explained, and even the dauting parts like editing were made manageable trhough their patience and support. Sharing the journey with my grandaughtor made it even more special, and we're both so proud of the final book. The cover and illustrations captured the heart of the story beautifully, bringing it vividly to life. More than anything, I appreciated the personal connection - Jody and her team felt like friends who cheered me on every step of the way."

"After going the rounds with several publishing companies and wasting a number of frustrating years, I found Jody Dyer. Instead of telling you all the ways something can't be done, she finds a way to do the most difficult project - and mine was complicated. She has the knowledge and skill set to tackle just about any annoying obstacle and solves problems quickly, accurately, reasonably priced, pleasantly, and most importantly honestly. She has a real talent for design and the sense of what a book should look like as the finished product."

Janet Stoeppelmann
School Principal and Author

"My story was truly a God-led journey; one that didn't end with just writing my book, which is something that I had never planned or imagined I would be called to do. Once it was completed I had no idea how I would get years worth of work edited, published, and into the hands of those who needed to read it. But then God led me to Jody. What an incredible blessing it was to trust my work to someone so amazing, professional, talented, kind, and encouraging. She held my hand and walked me through this process. I am so thankful to have had this wonderful experience with someone who takes such pride and care in her work."

Jessica Akhrass

"I am so thankful a friend introduced me to Crippled Beagle Publishing and Jody Dyer. For decades, I dreamed of publishing my poems, but it always felt out of reach until Jody guided me through every step with expertise and encouragement. Her editing, design skills, and creativity - especially incorporating one of my own paintings into the cover - made the book both professional and deeply personal. What began as a gift for family and friends has become something far greater, and the finished book far exceeded my expectations."
