The California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE) had a wonderful experience working with Jenkins Group on the publication of our commemorative book, Celebrating CABE’s 50th Anniversary. From start to finish, their team was professional, responsive, and truly easy to work with. They demonstrated strong expertise in managing a complex publishing project, guiding us through each phase with clarity and care. We especially appreciated their patience and flexibility throughout the many rounds of edits and revisions—ensuring that every detail aligned with our vision and accurately reflected our organization’s history. The final product exceeded our expectations. The layout is beautiful, polished, and thoughtfully designed, bringing our story to life in a meaningful and visually engaging way. We are grateful for their partnership and highly recommend Jenkins Group to any organization seeking a knowledgeable and collaborative publishing team.

As a long-time professional author and ghostwriter, I have always found the Jenkins Group to be excellent parnters. They understand the needs of their clients and take a positive attitude when confronting the many aspects of book publishing from writing, editing, graphics and layouts to promotion and printing. They cost a little more than some publishing houses, but they are worth it. They are professionals and act as such.

We commissioned Jenkins Group to publish a book celebrating our 50th anniversary in business. It was a 164-page hardback book with over 300 photographs. We are very pleased with the final product. Jenkins Group did a great job, and we would recommend you without hesitation. Leah and Yvonne were easy to work with and incredibly helpful. Throughout the design phase, Yvonne was timely, responsive and executed our vision perfectly. Doing a book is much harder than we thought. There were times on our end when it became all consuming, but Leah and the team kept us focused and answered all our questions. We knew the look we wanted for the pages in the book, and the very first layout sample we received nailed it perfectly. It is an understatement to say that Josh and I are finicky about what we want, and you never flinched. Thanks for a great job. Alan Bomstein, Founder Creative Contractors

Over the 42 years we've been in business I have worked with several publishers, They have all been helpful to one degree or another. However, our experience with the Jenkins Group has been head and shoulders above all the rest. Every member of the staff is courteous, professional and responsive. I only wish I had known about The Jenkins Group years ago. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking assistance with publishing a book. I am confident you will have the same excellent expereince we have had. Ken Chapman Founder & CEO Ken Chapman & Associates, Inc.

I cannot say enough glowing things about the Jenkins Group. I've written 20+ books, some I've published on my own, some with traditional "big" publishers, and I wouldn't dream of doing it either way without consulting the Jenkins Group first. They are responsive, experienced, know the industry inside and out, are an absolute joy to work with, and can and will handle EVERY aspect of publishing and production. Additionally, I've worked with them for close to two decades--yes, I'm old--and the staff never changes. That's a rarity these days, and speaks to their integrity and consistency. Highly recommend in every way.

I had a great experience with Jenkins Group. Never having worked on a commemorative book, they guided me every step of the way. They truly listen and try to match you with a ghostwriter who is familiar with your industry or has experience with writing to your ideas. I really liked having one point of contact throughout the entire process. We would discuss our ideas and they offer incite based on their knowledge of what others have done for similar projects. Additionally, their design team is extremely talented and easy to work with. I was blown away by the final product despite seeing it electronically, nothing prepared me for how amazing the book was in print. I highly recommend Jenkins Group!

Everyone at the Jenkins Group, truly everyone, invested their hearts, expertise and passion in designing, producing and guiding our journey to publish "It All Belongs: Love, Loss and Learning to Live Again". Receiving a Kirkus Reviews "Get It" commendation and a personal letter from Pres. Biden are certainly validations of not only our promise to my late wife to publish her words and art with my journaling, but also of their amazing commitment to fulfilling our promise to her. Trust them with your project, and you'll be thrilled.

Although I didn't need their editorial services, the printing process was made flawless by Leah and Jim. I truly had no experience in printing a large book and I feel grateful that I didn't have to deal with the printer directly. My client loved his memoir, all 3 pounds of it. Would highly recommend Jenkins Group for any aspect of creating a book.
