What I most appreciate about Leila is her experience and respect for authors who have a message and want to get it out in the most professional way. Her experience allows her to be a trusted authority, and this trait is much appreciated by authors as book writing is both art and business. Leila is a terrific guide for both. I highly recommend Pure Ink Press.

Nonfiction Author, USA

Leila is one of the best of the best I’ve worked with in 30 years — first running a small publishing house and then as president of a marketing communications agency. She couldn’t have been better in any aspect. Delivered a whole lot more than was expected (including being a wonderful human being).

I cannot speak highly enough of Leila Summers, as publishing director of Pure Ink Press. Leila’s knowledge of the publishing industry is one of a kind. Leila and Julie at Wellness Writers Press got me where I wanted to go with a huge book launch with international attention. You are in good hands with Leila and Pure Ink Press.
