Rating: ⭐☆☆☆☆ Do not trust Clifford Ghostwriting. If you are an author or academic looking for historical integrity, stay far away. They operate a highly deceptive operation designed to extract capital while delivering fraudulent assets and evading credit card merchant detection. I contracted Clifford Ghostwriting for a premium, five-figure biographical book package (including writing, publishing, audio production, and marketing). My experience with them has been a disaster characterized by a complete breach of professional trust and predatory billing practices: Fabricated Assets / Fraudulent Research: For a non-fiction historical biography, their team attempted to present artificially fabricated, fake historical images as "authentic research." When caught violating the foundational integrity of the project, they hid behind a loop of "unlimited revisions" rather than addressing the material breach of contract. Deceptive Merchant Shell Network: This is the most alarming red flag. While invoicing under the name "Clifford Ghostwriting," they deliberately routed all $16,499.00 of my credit card payments through completely unmentioned, out-of-state dummy corporations and front names: Spark Savvy Solutions (out of Texas) and Whispering Labs (out of California) to bypass transaction alerts and mask their identity on my bank statements. Invoicing for Unrendered Services: When I terminated the contract, their Compliance Department (managed by a representative named Joshua) sent an arbitrary "itemization" trying to withhold over $11,000 of my funds. They charged $4,000 for "integration services" and $1,500 for audiobook "pre-production" on a project that does not even have a finalized manuscript or layout. They refuse to provide itemized hourly time logs or basic billing transparency to justify these imaginary costs. Stalling Tactics & Missed Deadlines: They repeatedly miss their own self-imposed deadlines to deliver financial settlements, instead ignoring communication until threatened with escalation, at which point they beg for "45-day extensions" to trap your capital. I have officially severed ties and initiated formal merchant fraud and "Services Not Rendered" disputes with Chase and Wells Fargo to claw back the full contract value. I am also filing formal fraud complaints with the California Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division and regulatory agencies. They are a scam operation running a merchant account shell game. Save your money, your sanity, and your book.

"They didn’t over-edit.Just fixed what needed fixing and left the rest alone. Respect."

I do not trust this company, aka Texona Marketing LLC. After contract initially signed and down payment made, I immediately requested cancelation and reimbursement. They refuse to reimburse. Joshua, employee of Clifford Ghostwriting, continues to text me to see if I have received reimbursement from Clifford Ghostwriting multiple times...harassment. As of today, November 19th, no reimbursement received. Clifford Ghostwriting, aka Texona Marketing LLC, is a highly UNPROFESSIONAL and UNTRUSTWOTHY company.

I hired Clifford Ghostwriting to complete my book project, and it turned into a frustrating and stressful experience. While they promised professionalism and quality, what I received fell far below expectations. Communication was inconsistent, the work felt rushed, and when I tried to raise concerns, I was met with resistance and deflection. Despite terminating the contract according to the terms, they refused to issue a refund, claiming I had approved everything — which is false. I have filed formal complaints with the FTC, BBB, CFPB, and my bank. Their so-called "compliance" team has sent me harassing messages, trying to shift blame and intimidate me. I do not recommend this company to any author or entrepreneur. Proceed with caution — what they offer is not worth the emotional or financial cost.

Ethan Campbell is very knowledgeable and patient. He explained the process of ghostwriting a book well. He wasn't pushes and I appreciate it that.

I'll be honest, I thought Clifford Ghostwriting's reviews were too good to be true. But Ethan blew me away! He was amazing: kind, helpful, and really worked with my budget. That kind of service is rare these days.

My experience with Clifford Ghostwriting is very pleasant. Ethan is very sweet, understanding, and accommodating. He frequently keeps in touch with me and I am excited to continue working with him and the company. It is very trustworthy and informative with every question I have to ask. I highly recommend working with them!

I love Clifford Ghost Writing Team, they have been patient, understanding, respectful, and have went way and beyond to make my story alive. They continue to reach higher levels to help me publish my book “Don’t Give Up “ and I would highly recommend them to publish anyone’s book.
