About Us

---

"I rediscovered a manuscript I wrote while in my teens called “Summertime” and fell in love with it all over again, 50 years later. The backstory is almost as interesting as the story itself! 

From my first conversation with Diane Lilli of Rebel Books Press I was motivated to finally get the book, now titled “I Remember Summertime,” professionally published and launched in time for summer beach reading season! I’d previously sent it to a few publishers and tried the self-publish route and was stuck in a frustrating holding pattern. 

Diane’s decades of experience, and contacts in the publishing industry, along with her thorough knowledge of every creative and technical detail of the journey, from formatting to cover design to the overwhelming (to me, anyway) copyright process, to publicity and promotion….were beyond invaluable. Diane was also super encouraging, positive and uplifting, boundlessly energetic – and responsive and available, accommodating to my fulltime work schedule. 

Mutual connections have sung her praises, and rightfully so. If you’re a new author whose goal is to get your book out there and professionally published to bookstores, I highly recommend the dynamic Diane Lilli and Rebel Books Press!"

"This is a no brainer folks. Diane Lilli is by far the most honest, hard working, loyal professional I have ever known. It is a privilege to work with her on anything. 

You can rest easy knowing Diane will do her very best to provide you with any possible need from copyright to awards to, well, anything related to your books success.  All that without breaking the bank either!  Her enthusiasm is boundless. She is like the Ever-ready bunny. I swear she never sleeps.     

When Diane takes you on, you become her best friend and her capacity to give of herself never diminishes.  I love her heart for this very special business that dwells in all our minds. "

"I wrote my first novel - Frame 39 - in Abu Dhabi in 2013-2014. It gathered virtual dust on the virtual shelves of Amazon for some years before a remarkable thing happened: I reconnected with a poet from the past  and discovered that she had ventured into publishing. I had always known the publisher  to be an incredibly dynamic and discerning writer (and more), and with her enthusiasm as the catalyst, we have now re-launched the novel, and I have never felt so hopeful about it. I am extremely happy to be part of the Rebel Books Press clan, and look forward on a daily basis to my collaboration with Diane on this project."

"I have been very impressed with the insight and enthusiasm from  RebelBooksPress. As a new author, navigating through the process of publishing a book is daunting, Their knowledge of the industry and guidance has been instrumental in the success of my book. They make the publishing process easy to understand and is quick to guide you through the course of taking a book from a manuscript to market. Rebel Books Press  is unique to the plethora of publishers out there who say they’ll do something but fail to follow-up; they do what they say."

"I  had the pleasure of working with them for several months for the promotion of my novel The Golden Prison. The founder is a tornado!!! She is bursting with energy and ideas. She is quick and turns around projects with precision. She was wonderful to work with and we had a lot of fun as well. I look forward to working with her again in the near future. Clearly, I give her my highest recommendation."
