My experience with Bellevue Publishers has been deeply disappointing and ultimately unacceptable. I was passed between multiple project managers throughout the process, which led to poor communication, inconsistent direction, and a complete lack of continuity. At no point did anyone take real ownership of my project. It became clear that there was no quality control—illustrations were submitted without any internal review, and glaring errors were somehow approved and sent to me. At one point, illustrations of human characters had six fingers—an obvious sign of careless, AI-generated art. Even after I raised multiple concerns, I was repeatedly promised improvements and given reassurances that things would be fixed. Yet with each new version, the problems persisted. Promises were made, staff were shuffled, and delays continued—but the results never met even the most basic standards of professionalism or artistic competence. Despite my patience and willingness to work through the issues, nothing ever truly improved. I lost all confidence in Bellevue’s ability to deliver and I’ve decided to completely abandon this project and seek other methods of completing my highly personal project. There is no scenario in which I would trust Bellevue Publishers with another opportunity. I requested a refund, despite whatever effort they’ve expended, to compensate for the headache dealing with this company has been. I would strongly caution other authors—especially those writing children’s books—not to trust Bellevue Publishers with their creative work.

DON'T TRUST THIS COMPANY!!! I am writing a review because we need to save our hard working American people who are aspiring authors who are being scammed by foreigners who sweet talk you into money and then treat you abusively. They will not call you…you have to hunt them down. They lie, and do things when they feel like it… They say call me anytime and assure you that you will be taken care of but it's all talk. They aren't business people at all. They don't know that we have a high business standard in America, not a mobster one. They will not call you back because they say they don't need to. They take weeks to get your work out and ponder on the same thing over and over, then they make up millions of excuses to justify themselves, and will not give you a refund on their negilience. As you can see there are no 2025 reviews. These people received very bad reviews however, elminated them. I am sure this one will be elminated. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY and DON'T BE SCAMMED BY CHRIS ANDERSON. That is an American name, but his voice doesn't sound American. Why can't you be honest and use your real name. I have no problem with non Americans just do business and be honest with people. This whole thing is criminal stealing money and treating people terribly. He will be very professional and do anything to get your money at first, and as soon as you call them out on what they are not doing he will lie and say he is doing it. He will go as far as to verbally abuse you. They are trying to get out of working... This is very unfortunate! Authentic people and good and honest hard working authors, please find a good American publisher to work with and do your homework! I wish I could say something good but I can't. If you do your homework you will find the right fit, don't fall for 300 and 400 dollar scams, even though their are some decent American people out there who will do the work for that amount, but be careful. Don't get scammed or fooled by this company. There are serveral investigation going on. They do not work out the office they pretend to in the USA, they scamming from abroad. Even if they were abroad just be honest and do the work, it's horrible! Stay away!

This place is a total Scam!!! They will keep wanting more and more money throughout the process. They will give you false promises that of course never happen. The main guy Chris Anderson if that is his actual name really is one of the worst conman you will ever meet. He will try to become your best friend so he can get more money off of you and you when you finally wake up be just blocks you. Don’t Fall For It!!!! I am reviewing my legal options at this point and hope nobody has to go through what they put me through.

Very ambiguous - excellent job.

While my book did get published in the end (5/6 months later) - I would advise other authors to use a different publishing company. Between delays, no responses, working with 4 different people in the process, it was very frustrating. I constantly had to point things out that were in my contract or things that an experienced publisher should know. There were many times when a week would go by and there would be no response to my questions. They continuously tried to sell me additional add ons and I really had to pull teeth to make this book happen. The book looks fine and a couple women whom I worked with were very nice and pleasant, but I would still advise not to work with this company. EDIT: they asked me to take this review down and promised me multiple upgrades to my package in exchange, so I did, but then didn’t hear a thing back.

I LOVE MY BOOK!! GOING FOR A SECOND ONE WITH THE SAME TEAM!!! THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!

It was an amazing experience working with their qualified team. They guided me through each step of bringing my book to life.

I appreciate Bellevue and all they have done for me. I really needed some leap of faith pushes and the team was there to make sure I stayed on task and kept moving forward. Arthur Brown has been a true professional. He has listened to my visions and followed through. All in all the cost is far more than I ever thought I would have put into my children's book, but I am so happy with the finished project and the vision the company, Arthur, and the team has for me. I highly recommend Bellevue Publishing.
