Without the reviews and publicity that Publishing Push generated for me Back Behind Enemy Lines would never have entered the best seller lists both here (United Kingdom) and in Australia. - Chris Bridge Author

The result?

"I worked with Publishing Push for four months from January to May 2015. Before that time my first novel Back Behind Enemy Lines had only sold to those I knew and a few others. I was round about #100,000th in the UK... I rapidly moved up the sales chart, entered the top 100 (Australian Amazon Chart), stayed there for 18 days and reached #8th. Most of this time I was #1 for War.

‍

Have spent 7 days in the UK top 500, 2 days in the top 200, reaching #176. That has taken me to a whole new readership. I'm currently #10 in War and #16 in Saga.

‍

I am very pleased with what Publishing Push has done for me."
