Hello! I'm Melanie 'Babydoll' Wallace, the author of My Foundation. I was struggling to get my book out and needed help. Another author suggested that I contact Sophia Adams Project Manager and it has been a game changer. The team takes care of all the tedious task and I can now focus on me and my events. If you want a solid foundation, you should definitely contact her.

My experience with Kinetic Digital Publishers has been rewarding. This has especially been so with Dexter Mason, a unique talented individual who I feel is one of the many reasons this company has an A rating. He is passionate at what he does, customer focused and friendly. Hats off to Dexter!
