There is a real, beating heart at the center of how Atmosphere works. People really care about the process and you as a person. Never once did it feel like I was a part of a machine building a product.
Steven Armstrongauthor of Dragon Daughter 
Atmosphere Press made it easy, walking me through each step and providing the expertise I lacked. They are truly author-centric and worked hard to be sure that I understood what was happening and that I was happy with the results.
Teri M. Brownauthor of An Enemy Like Me 
Working with Nick and everyone at Atmosphere Press has been such a great experience. From the editing, to the wonderful cover design, I couldn't be happier with how the final book turned out and highly recommend their press to any author.
Lee Matthew Goldbergauthor of Orange City 
Care, and warmth, and openness would come to characterize each individual at Atmosphere I got to work with. Nick and Kyle and Cammie all became important to me over this past year, bringing joy, gratitude, and fun with each email or phone call.

Nick put together a truly impressive team to champion my book and help make it the best possible version of what I wanted to say. I have received so many compliments on the cover art and website
Jana Eisensteinauthor of Ghosted: Dating & Other Paramoural Experiences 
Atmosphere, ever the joyful and professional organization, made every step easy, clear and as enjoyable as it could be...having a group of like-minded, artistic people bringing everything together is all an artist could ask for.
