What our authors say
Middle River Press turned my manuscript into an extraordinary book. They interviewed me and read my manuscript several times before matching me with an editor, proof-reader, graphic designer and photographer. I was impressed with their creativity in terms of layout, composition, and cover design. They suggested using sidebars in each chapter which personalized the book and gave readers insights into the investigative techniques I used for the book. This greatly improved the book's interest and intrigue.
Most importantly, Middle River Press managed all of the production details which kept the book on schedule and on budget while maintaining the highest standards of quality. We conferred on every aspect of the book including font style, paper stock, cover material, and binding. No detail was overlooked.
In my experience, Middle River Press is a rarity among today's publishers.

Casa Mia: A Florida Treasure
"Middle River Press answered both a dream and all of my questions in publishing The Styx. After six novels with the traditional New York publishing world, I tired of waiting for some editor to be struck by my manuscript. I wanted this story out to the readers and although I knew nothing about small presses, Middle River was anchored by former journalists that I trusted.
From beginning discussions to book delivery they furthered that trust by explaining all aspects of the process and by letting me be the decision-maker throughout. Result? Take a look. A beautiful book and gobs of compliments from mystery fans."

The Styx
"From the day I first talked with Judy Borich until the finished books were delivered the entire process was professional. Middle River Press does what they promise and on time. Bruce Borich, open to suggestions, designed the front and back covers reflecting my ideas for A Baneful Sunset. Both Judy and Bruce were forthcoming with helpful and creative ideas to improve the book. I am in the process of writing a new spy novel and expect to have it published by these folks."

A Baneful Sunset
“My book project with Middle River Press was a great success. Bruce and Judy Borich are pleasant and helpful. They are skilled at design and editing. They are also astute readers who offer excellent advice about manuscripts. I would be happy to publish with them, again. Barbara Carlisle, my late wife, was equally pleased with her Middle River Press book project: The Louise Plays. She liked working with the Borichs very much”
