Bardolf & Company
For authors who wish to tell a story well and
want to self-publish their work, we provide a variety of services. Editor Chris Angermann has spent 20 years as professional theater director working with new playwrights and other writers, making story telling his area of expertise. Whether it is a literary novel, a self- help book, a memoir, a children's book, or a piece of genre fiction - mystery, scifi, fantasy or romance novel - we can offer the kinds of services to ensure that your manuscript and book will have readers keep turning the pages or scrolling their e-book reader. At a time when the industry is undergoing massive changes - from traditional paperback or hardcover books to e-books and multimedia books - what remains constant is the process of story telling. Using words to create a narrative that will move, entertain and emotionally satisfy readers and listeners is an important art and craft, and we can help with that. Chris Angermann has worked as the editor-in-chief for a small traditional press in Florida and served as president of the Florida Publishers Association, so he knows a good deal about the publishing world and where it might be headed in a time of change in the way written words are disseminated. We are here to help prospective authors in any way we can, and we look forward to hearing from you. 
Chris Angermann is an outstanding coach, editor, and all-around publishing athlete for any author who is considering assisted self-publishing. When I approached him with my first manuscript, convinced that it was ready to go, he gently and professionally convinced me that it could use some work. Before we were done, the book was far more focused, with half the length and twice the value for the reader. He always kept me in the driver’s seat but managed to help me produce a wonderful piece of work. He knows the industry well, can look at an author’s material from the reader’s perspective, and has a wealth of additional resources for cover, layout, and website design to bring complementary strengths to the party. His guidance and feedback, even on such specialized topics as website design, was invaluable. Chris Angermann is simply the best at his profession: you can’t go wrong when you choose to work with him.

Chris is well educated as a writer, editor and publisher. With his experience in journalism, screen writing, editing of novels, history books and memoirs, as well as working as a professional theater director of new American plays, I knew I had a winner. His patience and endurance during the editing and re-editing of my book cannot be measured. I will highly recommend Chris to my friends and colleagues.

Chris Angermann is a good listener, interviewer and editor with a gift for bringing out the best in a story. I could never have written and published my book without his considerable experience. Presently, I am writing my first novel and I would not consider proceeding without his advice and support.
