“Joe is a friend and a support system, providing both a strong foundation and a helping hand to everyone who crosses his path. I don’t know how he finds the time to accomplish so much and support so many, but as an author and advocate of the literary arts, I am truly grateful for it!”—Diana Olney
“Before joining the CLP community, many told me, “Joe is the finest in the business. A true leader.” Optimistic, knowledgeable, generous, and surrounded by a network of skilled professionals, Joe has proven he certainly is a champion in the industry for authors and readers worldwide. His Shadows & Ink, Mastering the Art of Horror Writing and Publishing reflects his deep appreciation for storytelling and understanding for authors’ artistic achievements.”—Paula Cappa, author of soon-to-be-released Draakensky, A Supernatural Tale of Magick and Romance.
“Joe Mynhardt’s experience and vision has taken me from a content writer/ghostwriter and freelance editor/proofreader to finally having the courage to share my own dark speculative writing. Joe understands that rising tides raise all boats and his Crystal Lake Vision is a place I’m proud to be involved in.”—Pixie Bruner
“Joe Mynhardt is the first editor and publisher to believe in my work and offer a platform to share it. In under two years, I’ve had eighteen short stories published, including my first-ever paid submission. I’ve also appeared in three anthologies, two in print and one that reached #1 in new releases on Amazon (both hardcover and paperback). I feel blessed and grateful to work with Joe and be part of this incredible community.”—Gregg Stewart
“The past year has been filled with ups & downs but one shining star on my ever-learning journey as an author has been finding Crystal Lake Publishing & Joe Mynhardt. I’ve seen his advice put to the test and working for authors on Crystal Lake Publishing’s roster. It’s exciting to see someone with his knowledge willing to share his passion with us. I hope to work directly with him on my own work in the future!”—Melanie Sue
“When you work with Joe on any level, his experience is apparent, as is his ability to bring out the best in anyone looking to write professionally, as well as seasoned authors seeking fresh and valuable insights necessary to grow their careers.“—Ruthann Jagge, Author of Delevan House
“Joe at Crystal Lake Publishing was the first person to take a chance with me, publishing my first piece in the monthly Shallow Waters contest and subsequently the first publisher to pay me for my work and the first publisher to invite me into an anthology. That early encouragement and recognition by Joe helped propel me to keep going and to hone in on my craft. I know I wouldn’t be where I am today without Joe and the incredible support he provides authors and the community he fosters within the horror community.“—Francesca Maria, Author of They Hide: Short Stories to Tell in the Dark
“Joe is a force to be reckoned with, and works tirelessly to support all his Authors, and I’m proud to count Joe as one of my inspirations and dearest friends. I can’t recommend working with Joe more highly.”—Dr. Fiona M Clements-Russell
