⚠️ WARNING
⚠️ WARNING: DO NOT TRUST AUTHOR SUCCESS PUBLISHING ⚠️ I contracted with Author Success Publishing in March 2025 to assist with publishing my novel, We Were NEVER Alone, with a promised release date of June 1, 2025. The agreement included: Professional proofreading & editing Custom interior formatting for eBook & print editions Proper front matter & chapter formatting Final file preparation for print Publishing & distribution on Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble, and Baker & Taylor Here is what actually happened: By June 1st (the promised release date), not even the editing was completed. Proofreading & editing were only finished at the end of June—already a month late. All other promised services were either never completed or done in a sloppy, amateurish way. Instead of delivering, they began aggressively upselling me unrealistic, expensive “marketing packages” costing thousands of dollars. When I refused, the quality and speed of their work collapsed even further. July and August were filled with more broken promises. I eventually had to teach myself formatting and personally publish my paperback and hardcover editions on Amazon. To this day: My book is still not available on Barnes & Noble or Baker & Taylor as they promised. I recently discovered they listed my book on Lulu.com without my knowledge or permission, and they have refused to provide me the login credentials. This means I have no idea who is receiving the money from sales of my book on that site—certainly not me. In my opinion and based on my direct experience, this company is not a legitimate publishing partner. At best, they are predatory hustlers; at worst, outright con artists who take your money and fail to deliver. 🚨 BEWARE: Do not give Author Success Publishing your money. You may never see the services you were promised—or your rightful earnings. 🚨
