Since the company has disabled their Google and yelp page if paying for the possible publication of your book doesn't ring alarm bells in your head then this will.. THEY use AI to "write/edit" your manuscript. Also go to Victoria Stauss writing blog to stay informed on scams in the writing community. She explained that in the past writers have reported Author Publications taking large deposits from people and not delivering any product. Just self publish and hire your own editor with real credentials or go the trad route and query agents on Query Tracker. Don't listen to anything from these people who have a fake address leading to some condominiums in Washington whilst likely being stationed somewhere in India.

I was signed up for a $15,000 deal that cost me $5000. It fell through and now they are in breach of contract. I am supposed to get my $5000 back. That was on the 17th of this month. It didn't happen. Phone calls immediately disconnect. Text messages go unanswered. I am going to notify my local Sheriff's department and let them know this company is defrauding people and scamming them with these big glorious marketing packages.
Don't do it! You shouldn't have to pay for a book deal.

This company is a scam
This company is a scam! I had my attorney review the service agreement they drafted and was advised that it was totally bogus. Please be careful if you choose this company to help you with your writing experience.
Response from Author PublicationsApr 10, 2025
Dear Tiffani,
We’re truly sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction, but we would like to clarify the facts surrounding your experience to ensure transparency for anyone reading your review.
You were onboarded on February 6th, 2025, and enrolled in our Basic Publishing Plan with a payment of $799. Shortly after, you raised concerns regarding the royalties disbursement process through third-party publishing platforms such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble Press. Our project manager clarified how royalties are handled by these platforms, as stated in the agreement.
However, within just three days, on February 9th, 2025, you emailed us requesting a refund. Despite multiple attempts to reach out via calls and emails to further discuss and resolve your concerns, we received no response. Nevertheless, in good faith and in accordance with our agreement, we promptly refunded the full amount, even though no breach of service had occurred on our end.
To state that you were given “the runaround” is inaccurate, as the project never officially began. Our team made continued efforts to engage with you, but unfortunately, the communication was one-sided. No services were rendered or delayed—only a change of mind that we respected and responded to professionally.
We take claims of dishonesty very seriously and stand by the legitimacy of our service agreements and ethical business practices. While we understand your right to share your opinion, we respectfully request that reviews reflect factual experiences. Posting public accusations without fully engaging in the service process not only misrepresents our company, but also unfairly impacts the trust of future authors we aim to support.
If you would like to further clarify or resolve anything, our lines remain open.
Sincerely,
Team Author Publications
