Become a part of SAP

I was so excited to write my first children’s book, “I Love Tampa,” but had zero knowledge of the publishing end or what to expect. I met Mallory from Saxon Andrew Publishing, and she answered any and all questions I had. She helped me navigate throughout the whole process. I'm so grateful - it turned out incredible!"

-Valorie Bauer CEO & Co-Founder, Baby Scene Author, “I Love Tampa”

SAP and Mallory's professionalism made the process smooth and enjoyable, and their genuine love for children’s literature shines through in everything they do. I would work with them again in a heartbeat!

-Meg Britten, Author & Illustrator

SAP is truly passionate about what they do! They go above and beyond to help their authors and illustrators succeed. Our collaboration process has been seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a supportive, professional publishing experience.

-Brenda Benson, Illustrator, "Polly's Comfy Cocoon"
