Testimonials
I have received my copy of your splendid Christmas and Easter anthology. Reading through it, I am well impressed, as it is a lovely, intimate and a well compiled representation of what Christmas and Easter mean to us all, especially those of us who are of a Christian persuasion.
Philip Dawson-Hammond, Yorkshire
I had decided to give writing a break as I have had other things to do: prepare paintings for a village craft show, also an embroidery wall hanging, draw and paint a dozen birthday cards for the family over the next three months. I must prepare myself for my 90th birthday in August not to mention house, home and aged husband and a continual stream of medical appointments. Being old isn't fun. The trouble is your prompts are like an itch, which has to be scratched or worked upon. As you will see, you won.
Mary Buchan, Dorset
I am very thankful that I found you, that you have taken the book on, and that you enjoyed reading it. That's brilliant. Sincere thanks for believing in me and for making it all possible. Thanks so much for your help and kindness.
Devina Symes, Dorset
When a submission was accepted for publication:
I really appreciate the support you give to me and many others for sure. I started my morning with the delight of seeing the Warring Sisters on your website. It fills my heart with joy. Thank you.
Karen Mills, Australia
I really appreciate a site that provides such great motivation and support to writers.
Pauline Cleary, Australia
I thank you for including more of my treasured writing in your new publication On Reflection.
Mary Buchan, Dorset
Thank you for opening a new world to me which gives me so much pleasure and happiness.
Margaret Hughes, West Sussex
Wow that’s fantastic news. I was in writing club when the email came through, so we all celebrated together. Cannot thank you enough.
Kathy Wall, Wales
I have re-discovered my love of writing prose.
Don Magee, Nottingham
I enjoy Four Words. It gives me something to occupy the brain while doing mundane jobs. You certainly keep us busy.
Mary Buchan, Dorset
I send your prompts to my writing group each month!
Shannagh Rowland, Ireland
These stories offer interesting challenges in terms of developing a theme within a certain word limit. It's pleasing to see that you appreciate them, so thank you for the opportunity.
Nicholas Clark
Thanks for your openness and friendly advice and particularly for your really quick responses to queries. I have to say that that is truly impressive and very unusual these days and really appreciated.
Jennifer Denning
Praise for our books
It's been fun, enjoyable and a challenge to try and get my poems and stories into the various anthologies. I must have over 18 of them by now and it's great to dip into them or re-read them now and again. I have quite a library of your books by now! Thanks for all the hard work you have done in publishing them so quickly. Each one is different and it's good we can help out with raising funds for disasters in countries less fortunate than us. Just grateful we don't experience earthquakes!
Laura Sanders, Dorset
Christmas and Easter
My Christmas and Easter book arrived yesterday, and what a delightful book with such an eclectic mix of poems. Thank you for including my poem. I was very pleased to see the Bible quotes at the beginning (how we need those in this broken world), and your inspiring foreword.
Devina Symes, Dorset
The Fourth Rising Trilogy
Great job, thanks Tim.

Healthcare Heroes by Dr Mark Rickenbach

Dr Mark Rickenbach, Hampshire
The Path Less Trodden - A Man and his Art
Absolutely fantastic Tim. I needed a catalyst and you appeared. How fortuitous. What can I say? It is absolutely superb. Many many thanks for your very sensible and highly creative skills in producing a fabulous book of my life. It was a sheer joy in working with such an intuitive person. Many thanks for allowing me to realise my dream... I came back from walking the dog along the prom to find a parcel waiting for me. The hardcopy has arrived – absolutely fantastic. You have done a wonderful job – I can’t thank you enough. I have just had a phone call from my brother-in-law, Neil. He is a Scottish poet and runs creative writing courses. He is going to write its praises for me. He said that he became so engrossed in reading the book, his cup of tea went cold. Neil added that that was praise indeed that the book caught his imagination so much he could not put it down.
Don McNeil, Scotland
A Lesson in Murder
Cover and proofs look fab. Both hardback and paperback copies have arrived. I am really impressed with the quality of the printing and the overall look of both formats. Many thanks.
Lin Bird, Wales
Lomax at War
Well done. Incredible service. I've been away for a week, arrived home to find Lomax at War on the mat. It is brilliant! I am much impressed with the finished copy. All I could have hoped for.
Dan Boylan, Hampshire
A Dream of Destiny
You are a talented author, poet and editor, and I also want to note that you have an amazing talent for bringing creative people together. It really arouses admiration and pushes for creative new ideas.

A Time of Reflection
What I really enjoy in what you are doing is reading other people's work, content, learning about places, lives, concerns and different styles of writing that have influenced my own way of expressing myself. I do thank you for giving us this opportunity. A friend has called to say how she had enjoyed my little book, reading some words from my heart. Then I received an email from the Chair of the Friends of Chichester Hospitals (with an apology for the delay) saying that various folk, including volunteers in the shop, have read "this delightful collection of poems" and would be very happy to sell them in the hospital shop, all profits going to The Friends.Thank you so much Tim. From a very happy Margaret.
Margaret Hughes, Sussex

I am grateful for your help and am pleased with the book. Thank you for making it happen.
Jamie Tucknutt, Durham
As you said in your forward, thank you to Jamie for writing this book, it's honest, social history, good, and not so good, happy memories and interesting food for thought. Good for us all to read.
Margaret Hughes, Sussex
What If?
This is very exciting, thanks Tim. I am enjoying working with you on this. Thank you for the lovely foreword. We received our first book today and are thrilled with it. I'm absolutely over the moon. It's laid out beautifully and easy to read. I can't believe it all happened so quickly. My friends are calling me a dark horse because I didn't even have time to tell them. Now I have a hard copy I can get out and promote at book shops etc. Thank you again. What a champion you are.
Carolyn Thrum, Australia
The Adventures of Mitch
Thanks a lot for your work on this project. This has reignited my passion for comic writing. Hopefully we can work on projects in the future.
Paul Franklin, Hampshire
Praise for our anthologies
Just want to say thanks for giving me the opportunity to shine with my poems in these anthologies... It gives me something to work towards, also the other little brain teasers are fun, too.
Laura Sanders, Dorset
A year of writing prompts: 2022 to 2023
A wonderful book it really is, all credit and praise to you for the selection of art works you offered us and the freedom to respond in our own, very individual ways. It's lovely to read and re-read people's thoughts and reflections. The cover painting of Mr and Mrs Braithwaite by John Atkinson is so endearing and inviting. Thank you for your time given to us and editing a book to treasure.
Margaret Hughes, Sussex
Countryside and Life
Thank you to Tim Saunders Publications for accepting another short story for the latest anthology. After years of frustration with publishers/publishing, Tim is collecting work from writers worldwide and putting together an anthology every month. Very grateful.
Shirley Deuchrass, New Zealand
The America Collection
I’m delighted to be part of The America Collection.
Maryella Sirmon, Alabama, USA
Happiness and Climate Change
I enjoyed this book but am finding Climate Change even more enjoyable; very interesting to see what other writers think.
Laura Sanders, Dorset
Happiness
You've driven a grown man to tears! Today received my paperback copy of the anthology Happiness and there I was in print.
Neil Stevenson, County Durham
Happiness is happiness; I was able to give a copy to our farming family on Sunday as we joined with other natural history friends to plant a tree in memory of Madeleine and Frank in their favourite field on the farm. They had read my words beforehand as I asked them to check it and make sure that they were happy for me to give it to you for publishing. Now they will enjoy the book, chocolate cake and all!
Margaret Hughes, Sussex
The Ireland Collection
Tim, my friend arrived today from the UK - with five copies of The Ireland Collection. I was so thrilled but not half as thrilled to see you mention my name in your foreword. Wow! Many many thanks.
Maurice Sherlock, Ireland
The Northern Counties Collection
The whole book is a compelling read. I love it. You got the front cover correct for the north, too. I was really surprised and pleased you published my work. I hope to work with you in the future.
Andrew Collinson, Lancashire
The West Country Collection
I am enjoying reading your Poems for Today and The West Country Collection. Your desire to encourage people is so good, enabling memories, stories and experiences, of all sorts to be shared, lovely pictures painted and feelings to be expressed. Your personal ones touched my heart.
Margaret Hughes, Sussex
Have received my copy of the West Country Collection and for the first time read my poetry in print. Would like to take the opportunity to thank you personally for your involvement in making this happen.
Iain Curr, Devon
Thank you for giving me the confidence by publishing some of my work in The West Country Collection and Hope for Ukraine.
Jacqueline Townsend, Dorset
The Hampshire Collection
Thank you so much Tim. I feel honoured and delighted to be part of The Hampshire Collection and look forward to holding my Amazon ordered copy in hand! It will be my first time in poetic print.
Dr Mark Rickenbach, Hampshire
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the stories and really appreciate that you want to publish them. It's really encouraging to know! I really appreciate these opportunities to have stories published and it really helps to give me the energy to continue pursuing my writing ambitions.
Arron Williams, Hampshire
What a beautiful book! I have ordered my copy from Amazon. Thank you so much for the really lovely mention!
Maria Ellis, Hampshire
I can't believe that I am doing this Tim. I struggled with English at school - not least the teacher! I realise that I owe much to my husband, who was happiest with a pen in his hand; his antidote to work, monitoring and documenting drug clinical trials organising and writing up bird surveys in which we participated. I became his proof reader - his education in grammar school in Clapham was very thorough. I realise that what it did do for me was teach me correct English grammar, punctuation and to be concise. You have given me confidence too, thank you. You are so encouraging.
Margaret Hughes, Sussex
I appreciate your guidance a lot.
Joy Eckert, Northumberland
I am so pleased that you are looking at unpublished writers.
Kay Middlemiss, Wales
Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunities.
Jane Tipping, Devon
You have given me the confidence to start writing again.
