Book Writing FoundersReviews of bookwritingfounders.com

They talk and talk and talk but do not follow through. They promise you transparency, honesty, accountability, and do not follow through. They will not communicate with you. Message after message and no responce. If they know for a fact no more money is coming there way, then you are not going to get any help. You are not going to get what they said they would do. You are done. You paid the money, but you get no accountability for that money. You get no accountability for the advertising they said they would provide. You do not get the books that they said they would send you. You are left with a phone that cannot reach them.

After months of sending corrections back and forth, I started to think the bookwriting founders were unprofessional and incompetent. I would send corrections, but only a few items would be corrected, and new corrections would be needed; for example, it took four tries to change the word thing to the word think—the need to correct items that had already been corrected continued. I now see that the problems continued because I was not buying the upsell items, i.e., cover photos and design; I have been taking photos and designing album and book covers for nearly fifty years. They kept trying to sell me more services, and I kept refusing, and the correction problems continued. I am now confident the problems were intentional. If you don't buy the upsell, they just string you along. My experience was from May 2nd, 2023, until January 2024. A legitimate publisher will give you real help with your book. Book Writing Founders is just a company designed to sell you as much as possible.

They undertook an audio book project for $3,000. They sent me the files to correct and okay which I did. That was the end of conversation. No book, no information. They pass you from person to person with each one promising to take care of you. They won't answer chat requests. Obvious fakes and scammers. Beware!

The absolute worst experience of my life. Awful communication, I’ve had to chase every email, sometimes for weeks/months! After many “editors” reviewed my manuscript it was riddled with spelling and punctuation errors. The book they finally published was cheap paper and bad quality. The illustrators were poor. I worked closely with a few and I had to feed them everything and my feedback was rarely listened to even thought I’d paid them thousands of pounds! Their “social media” advertisement is shocking and all fake really with thousands of made up followers to make it look better than it really is. It’s put me off ever publishing a book again. Awful, soulless people. Don’t waste your money.

I was impelled to become a published author. I was told that if I chose book writting founders I would have a published book in 3 months. It took 9 months and at first I thought everything they told me was going to happen but slowly things got very tuff. Sadly I trusted my contract which I built with the team, and recorded my all agreement made. In it it states if my project manager changes I would receive 100% money back guarantee, I've now had 4. Now that I realize this whole this is a sham, Im going back to my contract which not only did my project manager change 4 time but, other things which I thought my contract would protect my investment, were broken aswell. My contract states at any time I am dissatisfied with the work I can get a 100% money back guarantee. The book editing process was horrendous. I payed for editing but I had to edit the book over 12 times because of grammical and spelling mistakes. When the book published there was spelling mistakes on the back cover. I spent 53k total to book writing founders. They told me if I invested this money I would be rich. I believed them. It was all a lie. I was told constantly that things would be ready by certain dates and after months of nothing I became fed up. All the project managers lied to me constantly. I demanded a full refund and stated my contract protects me. They are refusing to give me my refund telling me they are not paying me back for services started. I payed for social media platforms which I was told I would have hundreds of thousands of followers in one month. After 4 months I have only a thousand followers. I told them that the narrator reads all spelling mistakes and that this needs to be fixed. Instead without approval they put the audiobook on Amazon so that I would have to pay for it. Aswell the first sample of my webpage was a disaster. My name was spelled wrong and that there was spelling mistakes all over it. I told them the layout was all wrong. Nothing happened and 8 months later, and now that I demand my money back they say they that I have to pay for this even though it wasn't fixed after 8 months. My contract states that at any time I am dissatisfied with the project that I will get 100% of my money back. The latest project manager said the book is an embarrassment and that she would offer a new start. She said she would fix the mess that was created and start fresh. I told her I would do a fresh start but I would not need most of the marketing because I hired someone else to do what they were not doing. They told me they could not refund services started and out of nowhere I get an email stating basically everything was started even though nothing was stated except the free social media platforms. I payed for 4 posts a week and I was lucky if I got 3. It put a stop to the marketing when I realized my Amazon account were locked. I asked for the passwords to all my platforms for 2 months so I could do something with the pages since my followers were not a hundred thousand like they promised. I've been fighting to get my life savings back for a month now, and they are making this matter go to court. This company is horrible and they've destroyed my life. I've developed a illness that I now need surgery for caused by the stress they put on me over the last year. I will be writing a second book about this one day and I suggest you don't get cond like I did. I have video recording of the creations of this contract between my family and my first manager. I did this to protect myself because 53thousand american is a lot of money. Stay tuned for my next book, and please use someone else unless you want to get lied to and loose money like I did. I will keep this site updated I promise you that.

FYI: DBA ASTROS DIGITAL I was primarily looking for copy editing services, as I had completed my manuscript. This review, therefore, does not apply to any of their ghostwriting services as I did not utilize them. Here is a brief summary of the negative experiences, mostly at the hands of the project manager, whose name I will omit: 1) Provided answers/requests/instructions multiple times only for them to be either missed or ignored. Whether transmitted in a direct response to the manager's email or return to a text message, concerns went unanswered and errors went uncorrected: - I had indicated I wanted to write under a penname. In both the manuscript and on the cover they included the word "Penname" (i.e., "Penname John Smith"). It took multiple requests (calls, texts, emails) over several weeks to have the word "Penname" removed. - There were sever errors, including an error in formatting footnotes which presented them as regular-sized numbers instead of the traditional format. I explained several times that this needed to be fixed. I was promised that it was corrected and sent the final manuscript which was, in fact, the same uncorrected manuscript I had received before. - When formatting the manuscript for publication through Kindle Direct, the spelling of my penname was inexplicably changed not only on my author's page, but also in every instance in the manuscript (i.e., Penname "John Smith" was changed to "John Smath"). If I had to guess, it was misspelled in the author's page, and somebody took it upon themselves to "correct" the spelling in the completed manuscript instead of simply correcting the spelling in the author's page. Best yet, they were kind enough to publish it with said errors and I had to unpublish, correct all the issues, and republish that + the soft and hardcover editions. 2) The manager had a bad habit of over-promising and under-delivering, promising a revision or call back within a set period of time, and then not meeting it. This was especially frustrating, as I repeatedly made clear that I understood the process takes time, I just needed to know *when* I could expect an update. Whether it was "in 15 minutes", "this afternoon", "tomorrow", et cetera the time expectation - set, mind you by the manager himself, was never met. He would, however, frequently upsell $6000 "limited time" offers for marketing packages which previous clients have sold their vehicles to fund, a couple grand for book narration, and the ever-popular "book trailer" - which is essentially a CGI commercial aimed at people who - while willing to read a book - evidently are not willing to read the back cover and would prefer to watch a CGI commercial which only serves to raise further questions as to the plot or characters. 3) Beware the ridiculous upselling. For example: - Don't pay $600 for ISBNs. Kindle direct offers the amazon variety for free (AISBN). If you want a "true" ISBN so that the book can be sold on other platforms, they can be bought in packs of 10 for around $300, or 1 for $125. They may tell you (as they told me) they had special "Bookwriting Founders ISBN's" but they do not, as no such thing exists. For these reasons, I would strongly advise against working with BWF.

Bookwritingfounders took my money. I paid them 5000$ for a marketing plan for which they had promised to sell 2500 copies of my book within 3 months. They created the amazon account but did not give me the username and password. They did not do any marketing qnd when I pressed them for answers They sent a photoshopped image from my alleged dashboard claiming that I had sold 500 copies in under 4 weeks. I however did not believe them so I hacked into my amazon account and found that they had sold 0 copies. Eventually they claimed that a rogue employee was behind this and they promised to give my money back. They didn't I filed a bank claim and they begged me to withdraw it by claiming I had done it accidentally so they would refund me I refused Now I am suing. I am writing this review to protect others. Please be careful and don't pay for their packages as they won't deliver what's promised and they won't give back your money. They have recently reached out asking me to remove my negative reviews so they would give back my money. But if they do intend on refunding why not refund first?
