Testimonials

Brenda is someone who does what they say they’re going to do and does it in a timely
manner at an unbelievably good rate. I then needed additional work which she completed
without delay and when she sent me the account I returned it immediately politely stating
that she is under charging me and to please adjust the account four times. Even then she only settled at x2 increase. She can be trusted to offer the most competitive quotes and the very best services well beyond expectations. Ruargh Findlay. PS The Making of a Slut 340,000 words 90+ illustrations (most other formatter swere not interested or said it was too big a job)and The few that ventured quotes were double that, what I was eventually charged. by Brenda V. Niekerk who did not hesitate to quote. She was wonderful and a pleasure to work with and even helped with the submission. Thank you Brenda
Extract of my letter to Mark Mark Coker Smashwords
Dear Mr Coker - Smashwords You are no doubt a very busy man and I simply want to congratulate you on your remarkable concept and organization. What you have created and achieved is something many millions will benefit from. Congratulations and thank you. Second point – your very helpful ‘ How to Publish ‘ suggested a ' Marks list ' recommending service suppliers to assist . I simply wish to bring to your attention that there is one in particular that stands out, No! TOWERS head and shoulders over any other "service supplier". Indeed the best I have ever come across in my 50 years of business experience relating to service. For the most impeccable , prompt and inexpensive service where nothing is too much trouble for the" formatter" Smashwords recommended. in Marks List. ie- http://triomarketers.com/ A.K.A. brendavanekerk@hotmail.com
I cannot speak more highly of her services and her pricing. Indeed the very best value. Thank you for the best advice ever in recommending her to me, she was delightful and obviously judging by the vast amount of authors that have listed themselves on her
website to sing their praises of her services. Brenda is indeed an very special person.
Thank you. Ruargh Findlay

In Praise of Brenda

I checked out a list of Independent Formatters for my new book. Of all, Brenda seemed
the most reasonably priced. I e-mailed her to ask could she work on my manuscript and
how long it would take. I received her answer quickly.

I must say I am pleasantly surprised. I am a computer illiterate and muddle through
the best I can. It is refreshing to find some-one who does exactly what she promised to
do quickly, efficiently and at a reasonable price.

I have three more books that I am working on and if they need formatting I will be
going right back to Brenda.

Thank You Brenda

'I highly recommend Brenda, as she not only gets your book the required Premium
status at Smashwords, but also informs about the issues, iin case you want to try
it again by yourself. She goes an extra mile (re-formatting all my pictures/covers)
and never gives up. She's one of those rare people, who deliver - in time, and
at an excellent price. Especially if you have tried 'everything', have special issues
(lots of pictures, foreign language publishing ...), she is doing it all and doing it fast.
Nobody better!'

Hi Brenda,

I just wanted to let you know that the book did make it through smashwords and the premium catalog, and is now available through the smashwords page: ttps://www.smashwords.com/books/view/355245 as well as through a variety of retailers
like Barnes and Noble and Apple's iBookstore!

We're very excited, and wanted to thank you for all your work helping us through this challenging process. Your work (and your patience) was very much appreciated.

I would happily recommend you to others if you'd ever like me to do so.

Warm regards,

Brenda - I want you to know that getting the book written and published, regardless of
whether or not it sells, has meant a great deal to Ronn and I want to thank you again for
all your efforts. It has been a pleasure for me that I was able, in a small way, to help a good
friend achieve a goal he really wanted to pursue. Your contribution is truly appreciated.

Cheers, Jim

We can not praise Brenda highly enough for her tireless work in converting JR's 316 page
book to digital. It is an image rich book with a complicated layout but Brenda pulled it
together amazingly and loaded it to the various distributors. We absolutely recommend
Brenda if need your eBook formatted and uploaded and we will be using her services
again in the future. John Ross Appleton (JR) author of Old Masters Young Guns,

I came across Brenda Van Niekerk's name as she was recommended by Smashwords.
As this was my first attempt at self publishing, all the myriad of formatting rules for the
different publishers seemed a bit overwhelming. I needed someone to streamline the
whole process for me. Brenda not only did that (for a reasonable price I might add) but
she was thorough, efficient and fast. She helped me get my book up and disseminated
quicker that I had even hoped for. I could not give Brenda a higher recommendation!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! TO SHOW YOU HOW I FEEL I WILL COPY AND PASTE HERE
THE MESSAGE I JUST SENT TO MY KIDS. BRENDA V NIEKERK REALLY KNOWS HER STUFF!
SHE WAS NOT ONLY ABLE TO TAKE THE FORMULAS AND SUCH THAT WERE TYING ME
IN KNOTS AND PUT THEM IN EBOOK FORMAT, SHE KNOWS THE BUSINESS. SHE
SUGGESTED GOOGLE BOOKS AND WAS ABLE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT MY CONFUSION
WITH RESPECT TO AMAZON AND KINDLE READERS. WHAT A FIND! I THINK GOD
GUIDED MY THINKING WHEN I SELECTED HER NAME OFF THE RECOMMENDED LIST.
AND SHE WILL UPLOAD MY BOOK TO THESE OTHER OUTLETS!

I found Brenda at Smashwords.com/list. She responded right away and was easy to work with.

Being that this is my first ebook, she patiently held my hand through numerous emails
asking how the formatting and upload process worked and delivered the ebook ready
to go in less than a week. She also does uploading but in this case my marketing
company wanted to handle that. This ebook is the first in a series. I will be working
with Brenda for the next ones as well.

Thank you Brenda!

Brenda
It is rare when I find someone who does what they say they’re going to do, especially in a
timely manner. Brenda, you are one of those rare people. Your work exceeded my
expectations. Thank you so much for doing such a beautiful job so quickly. I will most
definitely use you again for my writing and pass your information on to my friends.

You must forgive me for English is not my first language. So tolerate the errors!

Brenda is the second person who formatted an ebook for me so I am able to draw a comparison.

I never knew Brenda before and I never have seen her eye to eye. You can rest assured that she is a very professional woman who knows what she is doing. She finished my book and uploaded it to be send to Smashwords within 4 to 5 days. Her work was so good that my book qualified for the Smashwords' Premium Catalog and it was so encouraging when I saw my book in this Catalog live on the screen.

Further more, she was very much cheeper than the other person.

There had been an error in the formatting that was done for me by the other person and Brenda fixed it for me without any payment. She was so help- full. I simply did not want to go back to the other person.

I have another book I am working on and I want to assure you that Brenda will do it for me and nobody else. The world we live in would have been a much better place if all of us could be like Brenda. I want to conclude by saying that I salute her! . . And it has given me great pleasure to write this letter to you.

Kind regards,
