I recently completed my first book's manuscript and needed a publisher. In speaking with a friend, he recommended Peter Weisz Publishing. During my first meeting with Peter, I immediately knew I wanted to work with him, given his 23 years of experience in the publishing industry and his ability to help a new writer navigate all aspects of the book publishing and marketing process. Peter helped me turn my draft manuscript into a published book. His vast network of structural (developmental) editors, copyeditors, and proofreaders ensured that the manuscript was polished. He then designed the book's front and back cover and page layout, redesigned some charts, and added beautiful imagery to the book.

Upon the book's completion, he assisted with its marketing, including distribution on all major online platforms, announcements, promo video creation, setting up an author's website, and contacting publications for book review requests. He is terrific to work with and is a talented creative. The process was collaborative, transparent (no surprises with the deliverables or fees), successful, and rewarding. I consider Peter a friend and highly recommend him - especially if this is your first book.

I have been praying about what to say after having read A Gentile’s Journey twice:
If you have a deep love for Israel and the Jewish people, this book was written for you. You will realize you are not alone. Bill, a modern-day Mordecai, shares how one person can make a difference—by building bridges between the Jewish and Christian communities and by being a bright light and strong voice in a hurting world.

I have known Bill Callahan for many years and love his passion. In his new book, A Gentile’s Journey, Bill shares in detail the events that shaped his fascinating life. You will also find out why I call him Israel’s “secret weapon.”

about “I’m Still Smiling”
Peter was kind enough to write a memoir book with my son, Andrew, who suffered from a spinal cord tumor. In the middle of writing the book my son passed away and the family was called upon to assist in finishing it.
We, now,have a permanent testimony of Andrew's life which will prove invaluable to his children and, in the future, to his more remote descendants.
Thank you, Peter, for taking on and completing this uniquely challenging project.

about “the Wisdom of Pearl”
From the moment I decided that I wanted to share my story and write a memoir book, up to the date it was completed and published, with Peter's help, the journey was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
Very simply, Peter not only took the time to listen to my stories and
then place them into their proper context, but he also got into my
"neshama," my soul, and made sure that my deeper feelings, my emotions and my life's lessons would now be permanently recorded for my children, for my grandchildren, for my great- grandchildren and for so many others.The most recent example of "Pearl's Wisdom"' was deciding that Peter would be the one to assist me in writing "The Wisdom of Pearl" and for that, I shall be forever grateful.

about “I Shall Not Die!”
“A Raconteur Extraordinaire.”
This is a history of a family that rose above tyranny and poverty to contribute to the well being of others. There were so many invaluable lessons here, obtained through incredible experience. The two chapters on building an institution for Jewish education and personal experiences with Menachem Begin were my favorites. This book will delight readers with the glee & gratitude of making a home in America, and the role Hart played in building the nation of Israel.
