"Knowledge of the industry is second to none.."
"Consistently, without fail, furnished me with every tool I have needed to succeed"...
"Consistently, without fail, furnished me with every tool I have needed to succeed"...
Seven years ago I recruited Tim to work with me at A & M Publishing where he has worn multiple hats, his knowledge of the industry is second to none. He handles every phase of publishing, from story editing to copy editing, interior and exterior design, distribution, shipping, bookkeeping, and a dozen other responsibilities that simply get done on a daily basis. Moreover, I trust him implicitly.
It is with no hesitation that I recommend Tim for whatever service you seek in the publishing industry; and am proud to call him my friend.

Tim Schulte and Variance Author Services have assisted me in the
publication of my post apocalyptic trilogy: The Apocalypse Academy.
Over the course of the past three years. During that time, Tim has
repeatedly gone out of his way to be informative, knowledgeable, and
personable.
As a new novelist, I was unaware (and am continually learning) the
multi-faceted processes that is writing as a career. Tim has
consistently, without fail, furnished me with every tool I have needed
to succeed while not taking advantage of each nuance to price gouge for the additional dollars. As an editor, I couldn't ask for a more
thorough and professional person to help teach me the ropes. As a
person, Tim maintains that compassion while being steadfast in his beliefs, comprehensive in his dedication to family and willingness to do whatever it takes to help people succeed as an author.
I would personally recommend both Tim and his company: Variance Author Services to all authors, veteran or new, for structural critique, professionalism and honesty.

I highly recommend Tim Schulte as an editor and more importantly, as a partner in the entire publishing process. I’m a first-time author, so Tim helped me understand the process and necessary steps, gave sound advice and support along the way, challenged my thinking at appropriate times, then left the final decisions up to me. More than just editing, he also has a great staff of experts that designed a compelling book cover and even my self-publishing logo. I’m grateful I partnered in my first writing adventure with Tim and plan to do so again going forward.

I was referred to Tim a few years ago for the cover art for my book, Knowing Isn't Doing. He did a great job for me and the book was a bestseller! So, when it was time to start the process of publishing my new book, Dominators of Commercial Real Estate, I came back to Tim. But this time I needed him to do it all: edit, layout/design, cover, uploads etc..It was a great process working with him and I couldn't be happier with the end result. Also, another bestseller!
Tim and staff know how to help you succeed in publishing!

"His confidence in my writing and encouragement propelled me forward!"
Tim Schulte went through five hundred plus pages of my first novel and made it the best story it could possibly be. His expertise showed with each chapter he critiqued. I was amazed at the things he discovered. I have received many five star reviews on Amazon, and more than once the reviewer noted the fantastic editing. When North Wind was finally finished he helped me pick out the perfect cover, and feel, for the book. The first time I held a copy in my hand you could not take the smile from my face. Thanks you so much, Tim. North Wind wouldn’t be what it is without you!

"When I first met Tim I had a manuscript and dreams. I didn't know if I was ready to publish, and the mere possibility felt overwhelming and unreachable. His confidence in my writing and encouragement propelled me forward. Tim's honesty, guidance, and next step direction was exactly what I needed. He helped me draw out clarity and a depth from within the story that I couldn't see. He directed a cover design and interior layout beyond my experience to visualize. His patience and experience in cultivating me as a new author, and guiding each step of the editing and publishing process was unmatched. Tim put in many long hours supporting my project and was as dedicated to its success as I am. Today as an author, I have a published book and dreams that have become a reality!"

"wouldn't be near the product he helped me to produce..."
As a first time author I had no clue how to get my book published. Tim helped me not only copy edit the manuscript, but took me through the entire publishing process. He ensured I had fantastic cover art and ultimately was responsible for publishing the book through Amazon. I am grateful for his guidance and advice during the process. I could not have asked for a kinder, more professional editor.

Where would my latest book be without the rewrites and insights of Tim Schulte? It would be done, but it wouldn't be near the product he helped me to produce. Tim is fantastic to work with. He has a keen eye and his decades of experience in the publishing industry were critical to the completion of my manuscript. I have worked in publishing myself for over a decade and published many books, but it was a huge benefit to get to work alongside someone with greater skills than myself. I am looking forward to a continued publishing partnership for many tremendous years!! - Dr. Tracey Jones - "Spark: 5 Essentials to Ignite the Greatness Within"
