Review Source: Championship Rounds (Round 5 (Acknowledgements (pg. 262-263), Bernard Fernandez (Award-Winning Sports Journalist) writes:
“I would be remiss if I did not cite others who have played such an integral part in the Championship Rounds series. Foremost among them is EM Hughes, President and Executive Publisher of New Book Authors Publishing, in Madison, Wisc. When I first decided to do a boxing anthology in early 2020, I pressed forward after a conversation I had with a friend, Lee Groves, who had collaborated with Bob Cannobio in publishing Muhammad Ali by the Numbers, an accounting of all the punches landed, missed and avoided by “The Greatest” during his legendary career. Lee and Bob have made such computer-generated statistical compilations, involving many elite fighters in their most important bouts, another way for writers such as myself and others to assess the validity of the scoring of those fights. Lee suggested I contact Ms. Hughes, and it has led to a mutually amenable partnership that has incorporated five books, those 287 stories and a half-million or so words in print. I have found my relationship with her (and by extension, with Alyssa W., Ms. Hughes’ fellow editor and publisher) so productive that I in turn suggested to longtime Philadelphia-based boxing promoter J Russell Peltz that he bring the manuscript detailing his 50-year career to them, which led to the publishing of his highly commendable autobiography,Thirty Dollars and a Cut Eye.
When I asked Ms. Hughes for her take on the CR anthology series, and my professional relationship with her (we’ve never been in the same place at the same time, but maintain fairly regular contact through telephone conversations and email correspondence), she was typically gracious in her assessment…” (Bernard Fernandez, author)
‘What was special about Bernard Fernandez’s series of boxing articles was the personal history, insight and compassion he brought to each subject…I felt I knew more about the fighters and their momentous battles as though I was sitting ringside as the matches happened. After Round 2, we shifted the following books to our special imprint…It was important to me and Alyssa to cement the articles as a permanent collection that readers can buy and historians could reference for facts about these sports figures. By bringing the articles together, Bernard has made this rich history, some of which could in the distant future become lost to posterity, accessible beyond internet searches or difficult-to-access print archives. In addition to the individuals covered in this and Bernard’s other books, readers will also learn more about the man behind the stories. This is still another anthology worthy of owning and keeping.‘” – EM Hughes, New Book Authors

Joe Albea:
After a year and a half of navigating the Traditional Publishing world I decided it was time to go in a different direction. My co-author and I decided to seek out a reputable publisher that we could work with and move our project forward.
We found what we were looking for in New Book Authors – Publishing Company. From the start they have been the best in communicating the process and doing what they said they would do.
We now have a finished book that we are proud of. Early reviews have been very positive on the story and design of the book. With their marketing package we are now in all of the major online book distributors.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a first class book publisher to consider New Book Authors- Publishing Company. We have no regrets and would use them again.

I can’t say enough good about this publishing company. Em and her team are fantastic!!
Em and her team held my hand every step of the way and explained everything so I learned the process – they didn’t just do it for me.
After months of stress searching for a legit publisher, Em & her team made it easy and my book is awesome! I’m already getting great feedback from my readers!
I look forward to working with Em & her team again as I finish my next book. If you want honesty, professionalism, patience, and kindness to get through the publishing process – New Book Authors Publishing Company is the way to go!!
James ByrnesNew Book Authors was great! My passion is writing not publishing or marketing. I worked with Erica (Em) and she took care of the whole process. Everything from editing, to formatting, to getting my book on various book seller sites. They handled the marketing so my book is being released to various book outlets and publications throughout the country. Be aware of publishers who promise everything but deliver little. I did my research and by far NBA was the most efficient.
Mec WolfWonderful to work with! If you are serious about publishing your book the non-traditional way where YOU have control, this is the company for you. Make your dreams a reality! The team has a wealth of knowledge to help you navigate the publishing world and help you every step of the way. They have a no pressure policy and have resources available to help you, the writer, succeed.
SFI recently had the pleasure of working with New Book Authors, and my experience has been nothing short of exceptional. As a new author navigating the complicated world of authorship and publishing, I was fortunate to find a company that not only values creativity but also guides writers through every step of the process with consistent communication and clarity.From the initial manuscript submission to the final stages of book production, each step was explained in a clear and concise manner. I had many questions during the process and the team at New Book Authors not only simplified my publishing journey but also empowered me as a new author to actively participate in the process.Overall, my experience with New Book Authors has been outstanding. I look forward to working with them again. For any aspiring author seeking a reputable publishing partner that combines transparency, effective communication, and genuine support, I wholeheartedly recommend New Book Authors. -Shari
Florence D’AngeloHaving no prior experience with publishing a book, I placed myself in very competent hands with Erica. She could not have made it easier…and fast too! Within a month or so my children’s book was looking beautiful and on Amazon. I am letting this company do my publicity and am confident that their professionalism will give my book the best opportunity to succeed!
Brom HobanSorting through all the self publishing and hybrid publishing companies can be daunting. At this point there are probably literally hundreds of them- and many of them charge way more than they should. If you are fortunate enough to find New Book Authors early, then you need look no further. In an age where most of us can get no more support than a chat box, or an AI response, this company responds immediately to you with real people and real emails. They even answer the phone! Whoever heard of that in 2023? But most importantly, they deliver the goods at an extremely reasonable rate. They are helpful every step of the way, and have proven to be a highly trusted partner in my endeavor. EM Hughes especially is a true pleasure to work with!
JB MillhollinI just published my seventh novel using New Book Authors. They are incredible. Before I worked with them, I had published prior novels using other methods, but once I published that first novel with NBA, I never looked for another method or company to work with. They are simply the best.
Edward YergalonisNBA is the best. They are easy to work with and provide a personalized touch. I have dealt with others and no one can match the service at New Book. Perhaps more importantly, the quality of their work is superlative. None better!
Toni ReavisProfessional, caring, patient, and determined to put your work in the best light possible, New Book Authors came through at every turn in the journey toward publishing my book. I recommend them highly, whether you are a new author or a seasoned vet. Onward!
LANCE “GUIDO” REEDINGERI am about to release my third book and first full novel. I was in search for a reputable and professional publishing service. I could not have made a better decision. Em Hughes has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, patient, eager to answer any questions or concerns I have, and she has provided me with information and guidance that will help me in my future works. I highly recommend New Book Authors for anyone looking to take the next step in their writing career.
J-SenpaiThey’re so professional and I’m so happy my book is going to be published. I had an easy experience with them. I had no idea what I was doing but Em was so kind and understanding. They did a great job editing my book. They provided a book cover for me, but I already had one in mind, so I preferred mine and there were no problems there, Em liked my design and thought it looked professional and correct for a book. My book is on pre-order and I’m just excited. Their service is faster than I expected and I’m definitely coming back to them if I write another book.
Presly PhillipsAbsolutely amazing to work with! So helpful to new authors. They give you so much information and are great at answering any questions you have. So thankful I found this place!
Latisha MillerI Love New Book Arthur’s they were very helpful with my first book Erica very nice very helpful I got my first book published with them call Chaos in the Chi I’m definitely going back With new book Arthurs for more books of mine I won’t publish.
Kevin DelosreyesEm and Alyssa have been a great experience. Very honest, very patient, and very understanding. Highly recommend them!!!

When I first discovered New Book Authors on the Internet, I admit I was skeptical. But I took a chance, based on their good reviews, the detailed explanation of services, pricing, and the incredible fact that they do not take a percentage of author’s royalties. It sounded almost too good to be true. But they HAVE been true to their word. And beyond. I am so grateful that I stumbled upon them. Without their existence, outreach, commitment, expertise, graciousness and patience I would still be sitting here with a completed manuscript and no actual book. I feel as if I have gone through a kind of birthing process, pangs and all. But in the end, I have a beautiful, finished outcome. Thank you all.
Thank you again New Book Authors and Em Hughes. You have surpassed your usual exemplary level of service with your work to publish my son’s screenplays “Montauk Noire” and Downtown Op.
*****Highly Recommend
Knowledgeable, responsive, courteous, and accessible are just a few words to describe Em at New Book Authors. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience getting my debut book published. I had no idea what to do next once I completed the writing, but Em graciously guided me through the process. Once I completed my second novel there was no doubt I would return to New Book Authors once again. There is no greater feeling than seeing your work in print. Thank you to the team at New Book Authors for making my dreams come true.
New Book Authors Publishing is wonderful, amazing, and beyond helpful. This company does what they promise. They are fair and provide you with the best book services for excellent pricing. The editor I worked with (EM ) was truly one of the best people I have ever worked with. She was professional;, knowledgeable, patients, always in contact with me, emailed me right away (even on weekends). Honestly, I couldn’t have had my book published without her. This was my first book I had published. I had no idea of the process. EM was there for me every step of the journey. I will always use this company (and EM) for future publishing and marketing. This company is for real. Feel confident putting your manuscript in their capable hands.
P.S. my book turned out beautiful!!!!
Thank you so much EM for helping me for helping me correct and setup my Clash of the Viking Gods book title and cover on Ingram and Amazon. Your knowledge and efforts were/are much appreciated!
I just received my very first published book and it is absolutely beautiful. If anyone is looking for a publisher who is professional, easy to work with, then look no further. New Book Authors is your publishing team and that is the truth! Throughout the entire process, EM Hughes was patient, extremely supportive and very knowledgeable. I am looking forward to completing another short story with her help. She is totally amazing!! Thank you for making this experience so satisfying. It was an amazing adventure from the very beginning all the way to the end. God bless you and your publishing house!!
Words cannot describe what an awesome experience it is to work with Em Hughes and newbookauthors.com, but I’ll try:
This company gives you the resources necessary to become a successful author and you’ll walk away owning ALL rights to your work with a publication name of your choice for Em Hughes read the first chapter of my manuscript and delivered the best feedback I still have yet to gain from anyone else. She is extremely kind and patient; as in I had to make A LOT of changes during the process to both the manuscript and the cover, and she helped me out as best she could with even more generous feedback.
I am currently publishing yet another book with Em and will continue going through New Book Authors until my brain runs out of crazy things to write about.
I have published three books with New Book Authors Publishing and it has been an amazing experience each time. It has been a particular pleasure working with EM Hughes, whose patience, knowledge, ability to help and support is unparalleled in this arena. Kudos and thanks!
As a new author, I am also extremely pleased with the guidance and thankful for the support I have received from EM Hughes. She is a responsible, responsive and patient service provider. It is refreshing to know that there are professionals like her in the field willing to help your dream of becoming a published author come true. I feel comfortable asking her any question relating to the writing/editing/publishing process for I know I’ll get a straight and honest answer all the time.
Just a great company to work with. I am so happy with my book. They are always available to chat through email and work with you every step of the way.
I got my book in the mail today. I’m so excited. It’s beautiful. My publishing team at New Book Authors was awesome. THANK YOU *tears*
New Book Authors was great! My passion is writing not publishing or marketing. I worked with Erica (Em) and she took care of the whole process. Everything from editing, to formatting, to getting my book on various book seller sites. Be aware of publishers who promise everything but deliver little.
James Byrnes
My recent short story, Crossing the Meadow, was printed by both Amazon (paperback) and Barnes and Noble (hardcover), but the publishing leg work (formatting, some editing, and countless hours of email and phone consultation and advice) came from the folks at NewBookAuthors.com. This was a palpable learning process for me, and Erica, with whom I specifically worked on the book, provided everything I needed to get it done. The price was certainly more than fair considering the amount of time NBA put into helping me. Erica was courteous and patient to a fault, and I would not hesitate for a millisecond to recommend her services and those of NewBookAuthors to anyone seeking to get his or her book out into the public. I am happy with the result as I hold this finished book and flip through its pages… it is not only my book, but the result of a collaborative effort. Many thanks!
E.M.,
I greatly appreciate the value you place on creating the best finished product for each individual author. Your service is truly a diamond in the rough.
Publishing our debut novel was a labor of love and a dream come true. And we can say without hesitation that it would not have been possible without Erica H. and the team at New Book Authors. We had a book we were proud of but no idea how to navigate the technical demands of book formatting and publishing. Erica helped us through every step of the process. Her knowledge of the publishing world is significant, and she was there to answer every question we had, from font selection, to book size, to cover design, to pricing, to e-book formatting, to ISBN and Library of Congress registration. We were so grateful for her patience and encouragement through the entire process. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services of New Book Authors to anyone who has a completed manuscript and a desire to publish. A very reasonable price and worth every penny!

I cannot say enough good about this service, particularly Erica H., who guided this computer illiterate through the mine fields of formatting, bar codes, ISBN numbers etc. If you are a first time author, as I was and/or have spent too much time trying to find a reliable agent/publisher, go to New Book Authors without losing more valuable time. It is very exciting to see that first proof in a paperback form. Erica was so patient with my endless questions and cries for help. Thank you Erica!
New Book Authors is a fantastic company with extremely knowledgeable people. My contact was very helpful, offering suggestions to improve not only the covers but also the content. She helped me work through some problems I was having, which I really appreciated. Not only was I kept informed every step of the way, all of my questions were answered in a very timely manner. Lastly, the price was perfect for someone like myself, who lives on a small income. I was able to fulfill my dream of getting my book published. I would not hesitate to recommend New Book Authors to anyone. It was a very pleasant experience. I wish I had known about them years ago.
We contacted Erica H. to work with us on our first book and she being the professional she is, was very helpful in making sure we had everything we needed to prep and sell our book. Her patience working with us as we were first time Authors was very positive experience. There was no guessing as to what needed to be done by us or by New book authors site. Her guidance through the process was very much appreciated by my self and my wife. Erica was easy to talk to and a joy to converse with when ever we needed to. She is very consistent in following up on all of our questions we had and is very knowledgeable in her craft.
I cannot say enough good things about her support and time spent working with us in a new realm we never knew existed.
I requested services from Erica H. March 2017. It has been a pleasure. She is very honest, knowledgeable and professional. My children’s books have needed several edits and changes and she has responded to my many needs with patience and understanding and has emailed me promptly,(even on weekends) reassuring me in the entire process. She has also offered very helpful advice and constructive criticism to my works in order to enhance or improve their overall quality and consistency. I was novice in the book publishing process and unfamiliar with all the work involved. She has clarifed every important and crucial step, making the process hassle-free and an enjoyable experience!
She has bent over backwards for my behalf and done exceptional work so far, do not hesitate to obtain her services, she is a true blessing. Her prices are very affordable and she receives no royalties and does not charge outrageous fees like many vanity publishers. She strives to protect and ensure the authors rights are 100% reckoned and will work with you and do whatever she can to make your book a reality.
~John Wellman (Author)
I think it would be a bonus for New Book Authors to consider publishing a list of authors they have worked with including the titles worked on and published.
I recently completed my very first novel and investigated getting it published with the many vanity press companies advertising on the Web that charge over a thousand dollars and up. Once you make any kind of overture, they begin to hound you to death to use their very expensive services. My experience with New Book Authors was quite different and much more low key. I requested a phone call with a real person to discuss all the particulars about how the process would work. Erica called at exactly the time that I requested, and she was very forthcoming and informative. All through the process of getting my book into a paperback and ebook format was something that Erica was constantly on top of. Emails were returned swiftly, even on weekends and late evenings. She answered all of my many, many questions and went above and beyond to make my book a reality on Kindle and Amazon. I have nothing but praise for the experience which entailed many revisions and two proof copies before I was satisfied. Erica was extremely patient with me and always polite and professional. This was definitely worth the $350 that I paid, and I would not hesitate to utilize her expertise in the future.
I have recently completed my debut novel working with New Book Authors and EM H. and found it to be a fantastic experience. I’m am more than just satisfied. Ms. Hughes is extremely knowledgeable, gracious, and generous. And, she was always only an email or phone call away from me as we went through the process. Something very important to a new author, or any author really, Em was very encouraging and understanding.
New Book Author’s editorial services are spot on and in-depth. Every author knows, or should know, that each word in your book has to earn its place and there was one point in my 75,000+ word manuscript where New Book Authors changed a single word in a sentence, from “be” to “feel.” Believe it or not, that one little change made a big difference. To say they went through my story with a fine toothed comb would be an understatement, and I am very thankful for their professionalism.
Please count me as a very-very satisfied customer and I hope to meet Em in person one day and buy her a cup of coffee!
