Donna Cavanagh and the entire team of professionals at Humor Outcasts Press do great work.  What I most appreciate is that they kept working with me until I was 100% happy with every aspect of my book.  Everything about the finished product gives me joy.  In fact, it’s even better than I envisioned it could be. Dwayne Booth’s cover design is nothing less than brilliant.

I’m also pleased with all the promotion my book has received at the Humor Outcasts website and on many social media platforms.  And doing the interview podcast with Billy Dees was a real kick.  Donna has gone above and beyond to ensure my book reaches the widest audience possible.

For years my book was only a dream.  Thanks to Donna and Humor Outcasts Press, it’s a dream come true.

Bill Spencer-author Uranus is Always Funny: Short Essays to Make you Laugh

One of the most difficult things to find as a writer is some magical person to stand in your corner and say – keep going – you’re amazing – this is going to be great. I found that magical person and her name is Donna Cavanagh. Together with HumorOutcasts Press – Donna has managed to build a publishing house that is not only talented in what they do but supportive of the authors they represent. Whether she’s talking me off a ledge about book sales or simply telling me to calm the f**k down – Donna is a publisher who just happens to be part psychiatrist and part cheerleader. She’s like having your own personal Word Mom. In a day where my dog can publish a book as easily as I can – having Donna Cavanagh and HumorOutcasts Press behind you – is like having a very sweet and smart 500-pound gorilla push you through the clutter of the book world and then give you a hug.

Signing on with HumorOutcasts Press was an experiment for me. I had never published with an imprint publishing company before.  But five minutes after meeting Donna Cavanagh, I knew I wanted to work with her. She is, like me, optimistic and patient. She is enthusiastic, determined  and knowledgeable when it comes to promoting her authors. Most important for me, she is a fellow humorist so I know she understands my writing world. I look forward to more books and projects with Donna and HumorOutcasts Press.

As a first-time author, everything about the publishing industry was both new and somewhat mysterious. Donna was very easy to work with, and helped me all the way through the process. I felt comfortable asking any question, knowing that she would be patient and informative.
I also really enjoyed doing the two interviews on Humor Outcasts Radio with her about my book!

As an author with a mixed history of publishing experiences, I offer the highest praise for publisher Donna Cavanagh and Shorehouse Books. Donna’s industry knowledge, patience, and genuine advocacy for her authors have made my publishing journey with her a real joy.  I can’t wait to get started on the next project!

Writing a book had been a lifelong dream of mine.  With Donna Cavanagh’s help that dream became a reality.  She was there with endless encouragement for the entire process. Anytime I had a question or just felt general anxiety concerning my book, Donna always had an answer and a kind word.  Once the book became published, Donna relentlessly marketed it.   Her knowledge of publishing and passion for the craft has taught me so much.  In a digital  world that is slowly changing and the big boys of the entertainment distributions are slowing losing their stronghold,  I foresee Donna Cavanagh and Humoroutcast Press  becoming the new model of publishing.

I’ve been overwhelmingly pleased with my relationship with Donna Cavanagh. She has been caring, concerned that our novel was portrayed with its true intentions in every respect. She didn’t care about length or word count, she cared about integrity of the work. She also gave us great insights, which we took to heart, and was so supportive in every aspect of how the novel reached the public. On top of this, Donna is hilarious, keeping us laughing constantly! Shorehouse is a nurturing, supportive company that makes a novelist proud to release their work to the public.

Donna and Ed at Shorehouse Books are the best! My co-writer and I were dealing with a lengthy manuscript when it came to THE EVIL THAT MEN DO, and we didn’t want to cut the heart out of it to fit the standards of a traditional house. Donna and Ed, worked tirelessly with us to find the perfect font, readable but compact enough to make the print novel a reality. Donna is also a force in social media and the most engaging of radio interviewers, enthusiastic, on point, and personable. Most of all, Shorehouse supports its authors, and I regard it as the perfect home for EVIL and its coming sequel, A WALKING SHADOW.

Frankly, I’ve never met a publisher eager to take on a horse client. Make that a horse author, blogger and all-around Renaissance guy. Not only does Donna appreciate the humor and civility behind the voice of Noah Vail (horse), she joyfully promotes him and his commentary on the finer points of human folly. As Noah Vail’s manager and writing partner, I have been delighted with Donna’s whole-hearted appreciation of Noah’s first book, Never Say Neigh. She has tirelessly promoted, interviewed, cheered and laughed out loud with both of us. If she can’t sell timely ideas crafted by a horse, I’ll guarantee nobody can!

If I had to choose a modern, confident and positive voice for women in the 21^st century it would be the talented humorist/author/business woman Donna Cavanagh.   CEO of the ever-growing and popular online humor magazine, HumorOutcast.com and recently launched HumorOutcasts Press/Shorehouse Books, Donna is an expert at social media and trade promotion.   Her selfless commitment to her writers goes beyond Editor-In-Chief.  Affectionately known as, HumorOutcasts’ Den Mother she’s constantly encouraging her writers to expand their talent; to venture outside of the box and sharpen their individual conceptual writing styles.  Donna has successfully created a non-judgmental haven for writers to share their work without the usual clique environment encouraged on other writing sites. As writers we tend to be lengthy with the written word, so I will end by simply saying it is a pleasure and an honor to write for HumorOutcasts, published by HumorOutcasts Press/Shorehouse Books and to be inspired by Donna Cavanagh.
