Trust and respect extends across cultures

Like many businesses during the height of the pandemic, Siliconchips Services had to close one of our physical offices. Once the worst had passed, two years later, we were able to get excited about reopening.

What our clients love about us

Shahid and his team treated me and my publishing project as if they were their most important responsibility, even though I knew my book was a very small job for them. The level of detail, passion for their work, and professionalism they brought was impressive, and I felt throughout our engagement that I was in the very best of hands. The outcome is a beautiful book that meets all of my publishing needs perfectly, and presents me in a truly sophisticated way.

Shahid and his team have earned my highest esteem and recommendation.

I am very grateful to my friend Geoff Hudson- Searle, who introduced me to Shahid Chowdhary, Founder and CEO of Siliconchips Services.

Shahid’s personal touch, along with his dedicated team, pulled together My “Tall Tree Sculpture Series” manuscript into an outstanding digital book. As an artist, I was amazed with how they edited and enhanced my artistic visions.

Thank you for your expertise and patience in making the numerous changes and revisions to bring this project to fruition.

We recently worked with Siliconchips Services for the editing and publication of my daughter’s book, and we were very pleased with the experience.

The team was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the process. They provided thoughtful editorial input and helped us navigate the publishing steps with clarity and care. We appreciated their attention to detail and the respect they showed for the original work.

The final result was of high quality, and we’re happy with how everything turned out. I would gladly recommend Siliconchips Services to anyone looking for reliable and supportive publishing assistance.

I have always found Siliconchips services to be highly professional and accurate, and I look forward to working with them again soon.
