Book Writing ExpertsReviews of bookwritingexperts.com

Poor at communication, poor management, does not adhere to contractual guidelines. My contract does not have an expiration date but they refuse to finish working on my book. My contract also says unlimited edits and yet they have only edited one time. I am 100% unsatisfied and would not suggest this service. Writers beware with using this company

This company is a scam. Even after collecting my money and partially fulfilling a part of my contract with them, they are still claiming they do not know me! I was stupid to trust them. You have been warned. RUN!!!

Second update: Book Writing Experts has requested further information, so they can identify me as a legitimate user. I have already written that I have copies of a signed contract and a receipt for a scam charge for a new copyright number. There's really nothing more to add. Updated review: Book Writing Experts is denying that I paid $1,000 plus for their services. I have receipts for payment, multiple emails to and from Book Writing Experts and a COPYRIGHT page listing Book Writing Experts. They clearly have a record of my name. To say that my experience with Book Writing Experts has been disappointing is an understatement. My first project manager missed three consecutive phone appointments. My second project manager, printed my book. Unfortunately, the pages were IN THE WRONG ORDER. My third project manager scammed me out of $370. Throughout the process, no care was taken when making corrections to the text. In the last "final" draft, text that was correct was changed and was no longer correct. My fourth project manager promised that someone would call me to go over every page. The call never came. Subsequently, I heard from a fifth project manager who requested that I remove my negative review on Trust Pilot. We worked well together until he too disappeared. Perhaps I’ll hear from a sixth project manager.

I cannot truly recommend this company so people have good reviews and some don't. I would do research before signing. They are saying they don't have services under my name, yet are emailing to give a better review. I would not sign up with this company.

I signed with Book Writing Experts in October and I still have not published my book. I have scanned it to them. They said they can’t use the pictures so I need to have an illustrator do them. I went to school for graphic design! I AM AN ILLUSTRATOR! Then the manager gets involved. Says he knows what the other guy is doing wrong, he’ll fix it right now. That was December. I said if they can’t do what I need done please give me back my money and I will go somewhere else. I also notified Bank of America that I needed to dispute the charges. Now the manager says he wont sign to release the money until I remove the dispute! Isn’t that blackmail? Now noone will respond back and I still dont have my money! Don’t use these people! They don’t know what they are doing!

UPDATE: RE: BWE’S RESPONSE BELOW: Dear prospective BWE customer, you can’t tell from this post alone whether BWE is lying or I am, but here’s how you can find out: 1. Try sending a piece of mail to the address they claim is their legal place of business, 445 S. Figueroa St. Los Angeles CA 90071, and see if you can actually get anything delivered to them there. 2. Go on the CA State Attorney’s online public database of registered businesses and see if they’re listed to legally do business ANYWHERE in the state of CA. 3. Look up the legal business address attached to their domain name online via icann and see whether it is an address the US or the address of a proxy server in Iceland that specializes in hiding the addresses of businesses who don’t want to be found. 4. Look at the administration data for their Facebook page and see whether it says USA or Pakistan. 5. Look up the online archives of the publications they claim on their website to have been reviewed by and see if those publications ever actually reviewed them. 5. Check their business rating online with the Los Angeles Better Business Bureau and see if BWE has a rating you find acceptable. 6. Check with the most respected and established writing communities: see what folks like Absolute Write, Writer Beware, and the Writers’ Guild have to say about Book Writing Experts. Ask them if anyone besides me has complained about being defrauded by BWE. (Truspilot doesn't allow links in reviews but you can Google the organizations above and find the information for yourself.) These predators prey on inexperienced writers who are too new to the industry to know how to protect themselves. But now you can do your due diligence before you spend your money on these crooks. [my original review is below] ************ Writers, beware: Book Writing Experts signed a contract with me and took my money but then refused to do all but one of the services I paid them for and are now refusing to refund my money. They are unprofessional and rude, have repeatedly LIED to me, and have shown me absolutely no evidence that they have any of the expertise in writing or book promotion they claim to have. Add them to the list of businesses that are just looking to scam writers out of their money. Avoid them at all costs, and help me get the word out about what they're doing to rip off writers. They are a disgrace and should be shut down. UPDATE: I am now in the initial phases of suing this company for breach of contract. This is what we writers must do in order to protect ourselves and each other from these predators. In preparation for the suit, I have been researching this company extensively and have found a long history of complaints from writers who have been defrauded by them. This, in spite of their insistence that they had an excellent reputation! Don't believe the glowing online reviews, either: it's painfully easy for lowlife scammers like Book Writing Experts to invent a string of fake reviews. Nearly every consumer protection organization I have contacted has had numerous complaints against them; in some writers' circles, they are notorious for preying on writers. Their name is Book Writing Experts: tell every writer you know to avoid these disgusting predators. UPDATE: they are not even tenants in the building they claim is their business address. They aren't even registered in the state of California!

This is an update to my one “star” review of October 9, 2022. On November 3, 2022 (eight months after signing a contract with BWE and one month after terminating the contract) I finally was able to purchase from Amazon a copy of the paperback version of my novel that is of acceptable quality. I had to pay another person to fix the back cover text (that still contained typographical and formatting errors and was illegible) and I fixed the remaining typographical and formatting errors in the manuscript. I paid BWE $15,699 and received nothing of value. (Copy editing that was good also included proofreading that was horrible.) BWE refuses to honor its “100 percent satisfaction” guarantee.

Book writing experts are not the expert they claim to be. The editing was terrible and I had to hire another LEGITIMATE editor to redo all there work and although they promise satisfaction guaranteed they do not stand by their promises. If I could I would give them no stars. When I asked for my money back they hung up on me.
