Anne has been writing and publishing children’s book for a while now.  We had the privilege of working with her on her last book, “The Pollinator’s Gift.”  This was a wonderful book that was beautifully illustrated.  She shared her feedback and experiences with her latest book:

“Great, thank you, Becky! Once again, I was really happy with the high quality of the books produced. After months in the studio, and all the time it takes to make a book a reality, it was wonderful to see all the hard work honored by such high production values. Smith does a bang-up job! (And you can feel free to quote me!)

I am so glad you like it. I wanted you to see that all that back-and-forth, and all your hard work added up to books in the hands of real kids. I didn’t know you were an educator, so now I am really glad I shared it with you.”

 If anyone wants to get a book, they can go to my website at www.annesawyerart.com to order.

Kandy and her daughters have a family owned publishing company run by two generations of women who believe stories matter!  During a time of isolation she wrote a book where the story provides opportunities to find happiness.  They sent us a nice card expressing their thanks for our assistance in producing “Red Was Blue.”

“We wanted to let you know we have received so many compliments on the quality of the books print and hard cover.  Everyone says it is one of the highest quality books they own.  We are so thankful for you and your partnership.  Our next couple of books will be coming late spring, early summer.  We look forward to continuing projects.”

Irene is an author that wrote a book about her hometown of Greenwood Wisconsin.  The book has been very popular and she stated, “The books have been well received with all 300 of her initial order going quickly.”  We have even received phone calls at Smith Printing from individuals praising the quality of the book!  Starting with notebooks full of information, and little help, she was able to transform it all into book form.  As mentioned in the Medford Star News, she hopes the book serves as a resource for families with roots in the Greenwood area.  I’m sure she had a lot of fun at her book signing!

Irene sent us a nice handwritten note sharing her words of appreciation and these newspaper clippings.

“Dear Becky,

I just wanted to share these newspaper articles with you.  I have received so many compliments on the book.  Thank you for the beautiful printing job!

Sincerely,

Irene Dums”

When Ann Sawyer had her book printed by Smith Printing Company that was just the beginning of her journey.  Since then she has had a public reading of her book, received a great professional review and created her own YouTube video! 

“During the Q&A (which is not included in the YouTube link) I did give a shout-out for Smith Printing. Someone commented on how nice the “feel” of the book was, and how they liked the printing quality.”

A note from the author:

Hi Friends and Neighbors, 

For those of you weren’t able to attend the reading at Moon Palace, I’ve posted the reading of Mars on Life on Youtube. It runs about 9 minutes, and has the beautiful music of Laura Harada and Tim O’Keefe. I hope you enjoy it, and please feel free to share it widely with friends!

One of our published authors has taken her love of books to the next level!  She has opened a book store called the Book Nook, located in Delano Minnesota.

My name is Linda Gendron and I recently opened a charming little book store called “The Book Nook” in historic downtown Delano, Minnesota. I carry a variety of new and used books. I also cater to local authors and sell their books in my store and it has been going very well. One 13 year/old author from Albany, Mn., wrote a historical fiction that takes place in WWI, printed his book with Smith Printing and I sold 29 of his books in 4 weeks.

Everyone in Delano seems to be happy to have a book store in town and I am thoroughly enjoying this new adventure!
