From A Few Of Our Authors:

Fur In My Paint. "My publisher and mentor in this new endeavor, Bonnie Marlewski-Probert - Thank you for EVERYTHING you have taught me. The education you have given me has been priceless." Tifane Grayce, author of Fur In My Paint.

By God's Providence. "We very much appreciated your dedication to achieving that goal, and all�that you did to make that happen -- while staying within our budget!!�

More than that, however, I cannot begin to tell you how much your knowledge of the publishing process and your attention to every detail meant to us (me AND the sisters!).

You were so thorough, not only in answering all our questions, but also�offering suggestions, ideas, options, etc., that we had not thought of. And you were able to remain�composed (even optimistic!)�and focused when we threw you some major curves.

The book is beautiful; everyone is extremely pleased -- and I do not believe we could have ended up with this wonderful product without you. I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone who asks how to get a book published. If you ever need a reference, let me know!" Jean Merry, By God's Providence, The Sisters of St. Francis, Wisconsin.

Pablo’s Art Adventures – Exploring the Studio "is a dream-come-true for me. After retiring from a 31-year career as a teacher, my book had been on paper, complete with illustrations, for a couple of years. Now, I thought, was my opportunity to get it published and on the market. Looking down the list of children’s book publishers on the internet was quite overwhelming! There were thousands of them! Then a friend of my sister-in-law recommended I contact Bonnie Marlewski-Probert at Whitehall Publishing. �Bonnie was great! She never tired of answering question upon question and explaining the printing process step by step to me. She is forever patient and is a treasure chest of knowledge about the publishing business. I kept every email as we went through each step for future reference. Bonnie was there showing me the ropes all the way from accepting the printer bid to receiving that real book with my name on it. What an exciting moment that was!"� Mona Larkins, Pablo's Art Adventures.

Dear Grandchild, When You Come for a Visit. "Recently I received the shipment of my second book�Dear Grandchild, When You Come for a Visit (written by a friend and illustrated by me) and the thrill continues! I hope to do business with Bonnie many more times in the future. She is an answer to my prayers for direction and now seems like an old family friend."� Mona Larkins, illustrator, Dear Grandchild, When You Come for a Visit.

Dear Grandchild, When You Come for a Visit. "About a year ago I decided I wanted to publish my thoughts and dreams on becoming a grandmother. A friend agreed to illustrate the book for me and we started working together. My friend, who had published a book with Whitehall Publishing, gave me the name of Bonnie Marlewski-Probert and I contacted her. I found Bonnie to be very helpful and extremely knowledgeable in all areas of publishing. She answered all my questions and was very patient with my lack of experience. Working together with my experienced friend and with Bonnie at Whitehall, made it possible for me to publish my book. The book, Dear Grandchild, When You Come for a Visit... is selling very well in our community, and in other areas, as well. Working with Bonnie and Whitehall Publishing was a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to publishing my next book with their help." Linda Robinson, author Dear Grandchild, When You Come for a Visit.

Dear Dolly."It was my first experience with publishing, but every question - no matter how big or small was answered to my satisfaction. The process was made painless by the way that I was guided through the steps involved. I know without a doubt that the book was better than I expected because of this process." Emily Lineberger Bridges, Dear Dolly.

Lessons in Grace. "Thanks again, a million times. You've been wonderful to work with." Kathleen Anthony, Lessons In Grace.

Consulting Clients:

"I want to thank you again for your time. You have a wonderful way of explaining things that makes sense. I have been seeking answers about the best way to go about having a 5013c and what approach to take and had not been able to find it. You were able to provide me with guidance on best approach and explain the benefits quite well. The information you gave me will help me to look at my organization in a different light that will give me the most opportunity for growth, and to be a successful non-profit organization, you must plan ahead for that growth. Your newsletters are so helpful and will provide further guidance for me. You are an amazing woman! Blessings to you and all that you do!" Kim Shotola, www.TheLightfootWay.com

"I really enjoyed the time we spent together. It did several things for me. It reinvigorated my enthusiasm for the non-profit. It has also very much excited the board to look at new possibilities. I think this was the right thing at the right time! I felt as though I have been struggling to just keep up with all the work - but in fact I can now see alternatives to getting the work done. It will free up some of my time to do the things I really love to do. I can also see ways to sell our mission, not only to the general public but also to sponsors.

Thank you so much Bonnie! It is very much appreciated. I hope to fill you in on our progress soon." Kathy Castro

"My time spent with Bonnie gave me a wealth of information. Bonnie has a unique gift, in that she is very knowledgeable about non-profits, advertising, websites, and technology, combined with motivational and speaking skills that will benefit me in my journey. My non-profit Riding Therapy program is new, so I have much to learn. Bonnie answered all my questions, and provided me with more information and ideas in our conference call than I have gotten from numerous sources in my first six months of business. I am really excited about getting started, and will contact Bonnie for help and advice along the way. I highly recommend her to anyone in business, whether they are building or maintaining, for-profit or non-profit. Bonnie is upbeat, positive, and full of great ideas. Thank you for an invaluable session!" Cathy Willmeng, Director, Dusty Boots Riding Therapy, Inc.

501(c)3 Filing for Non-Profits:

"...In 2008, I was asked to assist in the preparation of the Palette Art League's 501(c)3 application. When it became apparent that we needed some assistance, particulary in correctly interpreting the intent of many of the questions asked on the application, we enlisted the help of Bonnie Marlewski-Probert.

She is a professional, and she not only gave us the help we needed in understanding exactly what was being requested on the application, but also provided practical and useful suggestions on how to go about gathering the information.

Her unfailing optimism throughout the entire process was contagious. I recommend her to you without hesitation. Sincerely, Pat Canary"

"I would highly recommend Bonnie Marlewski-Probert to anyone needing assistance in gaining a 501©3 status. Bonnie was very helpful in the process of the Palette Art League
getting theirs. She was very knowledgeable in the way she took our ideas and helped us form a better way of presenting them on paper. Bonnie also gave us ideas for us to apply to our particular organization. The people working on the application for the Palette Art League would not have been able to apply for and obtain our 501©3 without the help of Bonnie Marlewski-Probert. Sincerely, Anne Presley, Member of the Palette Art League."
