I paid over 20.000 USD and they never delivered anything. They are a bunch of incompetent thieves and I've already started a lawsuit against them (Mr. Rhodes is the n. 1 liar and thief. It will take time, but they'll pay everything.

This company is a total scam
This company is a total scam. They'll tell you those who are scammed by them didn't pay their fee or etc. I paid everything and got scammed out of the London Book Fair, signed a contract, paid for everything. Same with a a website that was suppose to be completed and a press release.

Scammers, Liars and thieves
Here is my experience with this company. I hired them, paying in full, to promote my book last November, 2025. To date, which is March 2026, they have done nothing. Deckard Rhodes is my project manager there and all he has done is flat out lie to me. He has recently stopped taking my calls asking for a refund. They took my money but did nothing and will not refund it. I now have a new project manager, Jason Brown, who is also a liar and scammer. After numerous, repeated requests, then demands for a refund, I've received nothing from them. I wish there was a negative star to give them.
It is now late April and after filing a complaint with the BBB still nothing. No refund, no response of any kind.
As far as I am concerned they are scammers, liars and thieves.
My advice and warning to anyone thinking about using these thieves is DO NOT!
Newest update: it's June, 2026, and no reply, no response. This cements my case for them being lying, scamming trash.

WOW... what a waste of my time and money.
WOW... what a waste of my time and money. They did two excellent proposals, but they started at $8,000.
I did not need proposal for $8000. I needed Marketing. If all you need to do is sell your book they may NOT be for you

I rarely write reviews, but I feel people should be aware before investing their time or money with Book Pride Publishing.
First, we scheduled a call to discuss promoting my book Rewired: Letting Go of Who You Don’t Want to Be. The representative I spoke to on Facebook completely forgot about the appointment. I ended up calling him, and after he apologized, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. That was red flag number one.
We scheduled a second call — and unbelievably, the same thing happened again. He forgot. I had to call him once more, and he begged for another chance. That was red flag number two, and I decided right then that I wasn’t going to move forward.
Shortly after, I was contacted by a man named Thomas Williams, who said he was a manager and would personally oversee my project. He even told me the other employee had been suspended for 30 days (though I have serious doubts about that). Thomas and I had one good conversation where he promised to handle everything personally. After that? Complete silence. I never heard from him again.
It’s now been a month, and absolutely nothing has been accomplished. They sent me a list of basic keywords and a set of social media posts — 12 total, of which I had to rewrite 10 myself because they were so poorly done. The “calendar content” they created was even worse. It literally said “Available at Amazon” but didn’t include the book title or the author’s name anywhere. The small image of the book they used was so tiny you couldn’t even read the title. So, what exactly was “available at Amazon”? No one would know.
The whole process was disorganized, unprofessional, and frustrating. Missed calls, poor communication, and amateur content that looked like it was made by someone experimenting in a basement rather than a publishing company.
I’m not calling them a scam, but they clearly don’t know what they’re doing. If I could give a negative rating, I would. Don’t waste your time or money — find a team that’s actually qualified to help you grow your book and brand.
