Communication was terrible. Hard to get anyone to talk to. I even sent emails with no response. The latest was as recent as last week. LAPerdue

I knew what I was getting into and wasn't expecting too much. They did a good job formatting the book and doing all the stuff behind the scenes to get it listed in Amazon, B&N, and make it available in catalogs. However, don't fall for the marketing add-ons. They send out press releases, but there's no follow-up. In short, there's no guarantee or real effort to try to get your book reviewed or in stores. Maybe I had a poor marketing rep, but they only did the bare minimum and were never proactive. I always had to reach out to them. It's not a scam, but there's not a ton of value in what they claim as marketing.

Don’t make false claims especially when it comes to marketing. They will say anything to get your money. My second book was published by another company. It was actually completed one month before my first book and it cost less.

Be patient I don't know your process and expect changes or edits faster. You send back a PDF file and I can't change anything. I don't know how to identify location that need some edited or how to edit them. Prices are not clear to have your people edit the whole book.

It took one calendar year for the project.

I signed on for the publishing package at 2k and was expecting to get $500 credit to purchase volumes of my published work as i was quoted. To date, I have received 2 books, priced at $18 apiece. I have repeatedly asked my contact to call me so we can request the remainder of my book credits be spent. I am still waiting. The editorial process was quick and costly, mostly done by myself and the problems with image copyright were just my own ignorance- I even did calligraphy because we (me, you guys did nothing) couldn't get permission to use a website, luckily I can do many things. I am largely unhappy with my purchase and will be headed elsewhere with my second book.

I didn't often feel the publishing staff cared about the creative aspects of my book (no editing nor critique)
