Great Plugin. Works well and is easy to use.

This is a hard-working plugin with lots of features for authors, publishers and book lists / directories.
Thanks for your dedication to keeping it up to date
Updated, well supported, great resource

The plugin serves a good purpose and it’s a helpful resource with various applications. For my purpose, I use Author Pro to provide book reviews to my audience. Not only has this resource been given new life and is well maintained, the support is amazing – pretty much like no other support I’ve received elsewhere. I appreciate the plugin, and I appreciate the support team even more.
What a great plugin! Thank you, devs!

Hello,
I really love this plugin. And I hope it’s gonna be adapted to Gutenberg as well. This is so valuable.
Thank you very much for offering this plugin.

Love it so far. But updates?

Really great theme, does everything I want it to do and works great on mobile – fully responsive. Hasn’t been updated in over a year which is a little worrying, but so far so good on wordpress 4.9.2 as I type. I just hope the developers haven’t forgotten about it!
Wonderful

Really nice plugin for Genesis themes. And right on time (last year) for restyling a website for a writer of children’s books. She loved it.
