Being my first book, Michael needed to take me through the whole self-publishing process. He professionally answered my thousands of questions while giving me solid and proven advice on the process.
Lerida Grant,author of Simple Dog Care
There is no one else like Andrew Griffiths. He's larger than life, totally driven to help others and he makes doing business a blast.
Anh Doh,Comedian, Bestselling author
Michael is by far the best book editor I have worked with, and I ask for him whenever I have a new book for editing. He is knowledgeable, hard working and efficient in every aspect of book production.
Daryl Guppy,Bestselling author of 12 books
It's no wonder that top business people in 50 countries read Andrew's books and advice and apply it to their businesses. Quite simply, the value he provides is immense. There is no-one like Andrew Griffiths.
Blake Beattie,Author and Founder of Pay it Forward Day
From the first time I spoke to Michael, I could tell that he knew what he was doing. He was able to answer all of my questions, was understanding during the project and most importantly delivered the goods, outstandingly!
George Astudillo,author of The Landlord Mindset
Andrew not only taught me how to research, plan, write, self-publish and promote my book, but also helped me gain clarity about my niche and my market.
Anetta Pizag,Workplace researcher, design consultant and strategist
Michael and the team are fabulous to work with, super organised, responsive and totally committed.
Cathy Love,author of Becoming Chief
Andrew has a unique ability to encourage people to use words in a way in which only that person can express.
John Stringer,Business Revenues Performance Specialist
Publish with Michael Hanrahan! He patiently guided a clueless first-time author every step of the way. This would not have happened without Michael (and Andrew Griffiths!) supporting me.
Fran Connelley,Director at FC Marketing and author of How to Thrive Under the NDIS

Your 14-Day Isolation Writing Guide and Workbook
Hey, remember when all anybody could talk about was crazy toilet paper panic buying? Already seems like ages ago, back in those days when we were all still going to the movies and having Sunday brunches in a cafe. So, the world has changed, and for most of us we are now at home a […]

We work with many first-time self-publishers here at PC, and sometimes during the cover design process I sense the author getting a little frustrated when the cover design seems to become more involved than they expected. They underestimate the level of development required to get a finished cover. Here’s how authors sometimes expect the process […]

Do you know the why behind your book?
Most people have a book idea in them. Some of those people write their book and a few will go on and publish the book. How many of them do you think know the why, the reason they wrote their book? For novelists, the why may mostly be to entertain readers and share their story. […]

Advice from a book cover designer
Fitting a square peg into a round hole? This is how it feels sometimes when discussing book design with authors. The one critical error I find most self publishing authors, and some of the bigger publishing houses make, is that they find it difficult establishing where their book fits in. And in my opinion, it […]

The industry has changed rapidly in recent years and the lines between the different publishing models are now sometimes a little (or a lot) blurred. Still, you can publish a […]

Is self-publishing right for you?
The publishing industry (just like TV, music, accommodation and many others) has changed rapidly in recent years, and the growth in self-publishing has seen it advance to the point where it’s impossible to distinguish a well-produced self-published book from one produced by a major publishing house such as Penguin. Self-publishing used to have kind […]
