Testimonials

Sara Jimenez testimonial for Derek Padula

“Derek was an amazing mentor who taught me how to publish books about Dragon Ball! He answered my questions with thorough explanations, and he was also professional about my legal concerns. I’m a native Spanish speaker, not English, so he even transcribed our conversation so that I could read it again in Spanish. 🙂 Thank you so much Derek, for your patience and professionalism!” – Sara JC, Influencer

Issei Takehara testimonial for Derek Padula

“Derek helped me get my chapter on Dragon Ball published in an academic anime journal. My original submission needed revisions, so I asked Derek for help. His edits, suggestions, and mentoring were effective and informative. I resubmitted my chapter and it was accepted!” – Issei Takehara, Japanese Language Instructor

Richard Lowenthal testimonial for Derek Padula

He helped us map where we are, where we want to go, and gave us a list of actions to take to achieve our goals. As an author and expert on the anime industry, he’s the best man to help your business succeed.” – Richard Lowenthal, CEO of GoBrunch
