Bellevue did publish my two books. To be fair, the first was well done. The second book looks sloppy and is an embarrassment to me. Beyond that, I was overcharged and promised a celebrity endorsement, book signings, podcasts, interviews, and submission of some of my stories as screenplays to literary agents. None of these happened. After I declined an expensive sales promotion, my print book was removed from Amazon without explanation, and I have not received any royalties since November, 2025, via Bellevue/Amazon. I bought and received copies of my books from other book sellers to make sure that it was still available on these sites. But again, no royalties. I strongly urge you not to do business with Bellevue. They will promise everything, deliver only some of what they said they would, overcharge you for everything, and subject you to high pressure and expensive promotions. Lastly, they do not respond to text messages and have changed their email addresses so that they are unreachable via email.

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.
