Excel Book WritingReviews of excelbookwriting.com

Short Version: 27 Jan 2025, initial contract with Excel Book Writing & parent company Divine Ghost Writers was signed for publishing a book in 3-4 months. 18 May 2025; filed negative Review with the VBC & Chicago BBB that this company has not even working towards producing the book after the contract requirements were past the date. 3 Nov. 2025; after the contractor stated they would have my book published, they in turn assigned a fourth project manager ten months in the project. 3 Nov 2025; client files a complaint with the VBC & Chicago BBB that no contractual requirements were met and the project was 6 months past the initial contract date. 4 Nov - 18 Dec 2025, VBC BBB kept passing the company's false statements and that they were working to resolve the issue, while never once addressing why none of the contract requirements were met or would be met. 18 Dec 2025; VBC BBB (Mohammad Pandhiani), arbitrary closes customer's Complaint, without any resolution to the contract requirements being met by Excel Book Writing or parent company, Divine Ghost Writers. Also, my complaint is no longer posted on the VBC BBB website. Client spent $4200 with Excel Book Writing / Divine Ghost Writers, and to this date does not have his books on any book available on provider’s websites. Detail Version: My initial contact on a publisher webpage was with Divine Ghost Writers on 27 Jan 2025, but some of their paperwork or documents would state Excel Book Writing and/or Divine Ghost Technologies; however, all three of their contracts with me would contain Divine Technologies Limited as the parent company. Original contract stated 3-4 months for the book to be published and provided the following: Research and Ethnography, Project Management, Cover Design, Editing and Proofreading, Layout Adjustment, Book cover design, ISBN, Publication on Amazon, Kindle, Barnes & Noble + 400 Platforms, 2-4 Pages Author Website, 1 Year Domain Hosting & SEO & SMM, book completion in 3-4 Months in eBook, Paperback, Hardcover. Original contract was for 25 Hardcover Copies (Colored) to be delivered to my home of record. A second contract was for Professional “Copyright Review” and confirm an ISBN and webpage for me, although the original contract stated the same services. Third contract was to publish 100 Softback & 100 Hardback books to be used as publication inventory. So, after over 9 months, three separate project managers with each signed a book release form for publication, and after paying $4200 in total for the aforementioned services, I have received nothing from this publisher other than after the latest book release date of 1 Nov. 2025, (which there have been several release dates going back to March 2025) that on 2 Nov. 2025 a new project manager will be assigned in the upcoming weeks. The latest book release was for 1 Nov., after this date I received an email from my publisher that a new project manager would soon be assigned. So, on 3 Nov. 2025, client files BBB Complaint with the VBC & Chicago offices. On 18 Dec. 2025, the VBC BBB arbitrary closes my BBB Complaint without any resolution or any contractual requirements being meet by either Excel Book Writing or Divine Ghost Writers. Along with my personal bank information to route the book sales to a personal account, the publisher tried on many occasions to obtain my SSN, in which I would not do so, since the ISBN was supposed to tie the royalties back to the author. (Note: The publisher never established an ISBN to the author as delineated in the original contract).

Excel Book Writing (fake publisher) contested my prior reviews as fake and Trust Pilot let them do it, allowing their criminal scam to continue. Excel is stealing from people seeking legitimate publishing services. Their real whereabouts are in Pakistan or somewhere thereabout and they change company names and make front websites often to repeat the same scam under different names. The positive reviews are fake. I have contacted the authorities and filed reports. This is a fraudulent company operating a call center to farm the public for money. You need to contact the FBI, file an IC3 report, your local police, file a BBB complaint, and Attorney General to report them for organized crime, mass fraud, and theft by deception among other things. They stole $38,000 from me and ceased all contact when I asked for refund. They are not based in Chicago. These are criminals running a scam to generate revenue quickly. I paid them for several different services and never received anything. They use many different names for their staff - likely all pseudonyms. It is a huge scam to steal money from aspiring authors. I paid them in 2023. They demanded money orders and checks by mail in addition to drafting my account. I never received anything. Also file a report to the CFPB, FTC, Interpol, your local police, the FBI phone tip line, IC3 Online Reporting System for the FBI, and to Crime Stoppers. Tell everyone. The goal is to get everyone who can be pursuing them from an investigative perspective to do so. If any recovery is to be made, the full might of law enforcement through the criminal justice system must be brought down on them.

This company is not legitimate. In 2022, we paid over a thousand dollars to get started on a book and they never completed anything. They interviewed us for the book, but never produced anything. Judy Sevastin, Kenneth Walker, and Angelique Thomas were the names used and it all turned out to be untrue. I tried to file a complaint with the attorney generals in both Chicago and Texas, but they could to locate this company although they had addresses in these state. We never received our money back and then they stopped answering calls. The site had all these testimonials. I have not given up on the book writing project and came across all the documentation and paperwork back in 2022. I wanted to prevent others from what we endured and the money we lost.

Part of the payment I made to Excel was to have 30 hard bound copies of my novel. The novel has been complete for well over a year, but I never received the 30 hard bound copies. I've received their 'commitment' to ship them to me upwards 20 times. Excel will not deliver on everything you pay for and promised.

They are truly horrible. Don't waste you're time with them. You can 100% find better writers with better work ethic and quality services. I signed up with them around 2-3 years ago and payed for ghostwriting services for a fantasy novel. I was so upset and disappointed with the awful communication and quality of writing that I ended up just blocking them. So in the end, I wasted thousands of dollars and my time. Couldn't even get a refund.

I think I was taken for a long ride! Refund requested but, crickets!

I have been writing a book with excel reshaping a lost manuscript, and I have changed several editors and the project gets pushed back further, and now at the end, evidence of crucial parts of the are gone with the various editors experience rewriting the manuscript. I heavily expressed to have no way, bi, trans in the book, and it still appears in the book. I have divine inspired segments regarding the topic and all of the notes and manuscript is not in the book. The book is more telling about others accomplishment than a self help new science innovation concept. The whole meaning of the book is not illustrated, the humanity alphabet, as to sabotage the self help concept. They only want to sale me products that I a capable of doing on my own, then they fail to respond to scheduling meetings Zach Ryan's, and Christopher his helper. Very displeased with the results of the book, and they are refusing money back guarantee and contract of satisfaction. Please, do not make the mistake to use the henchmen of words, because they feel they own people's ideas and manuscript, it will be a lot of back and forth instead of ghost writing, formatting, illustrating, editing, and printing, they hijack ideas for bigger corporations. My ideas are being made by other companies while they fail to editing what l wrote pinpointing topics narrative, and outlined. I was supposed to get my website done with excel to, put $2,000, but l will not continue that project with them, if they are reluctant to do the book, why should I want to do a website with them. Please, save yourself a problem, self publish away from the big tech watchdogs! Excel book writing group are very indilligent and fail to write your story, they write colonized stories!

This company is a 100% scam. Please go somewhere else now. After 8 months of being promised hard copies of my book that was published in May, 2024, I have not received anything. They scammed me out of $1000 to pay for an inventory that does not exist. The website they built for me to sell e-commerce was hacked by someone asking me for 20K random. Excel Publishing actually just asked me to pay a fee for the rebuild of the website that I paid extra for a firewall to prevent this type of hacking. Somone needs to sue them and it may be me if I don't get resolution soon. In the meantime, DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY. I HAD TO DO ALL OF MY EDITING BECAUSE THEIR "EDITORS' DID NOTHING BUT USE A GRAMMERLY APP TO CHECK FOR SPELLING. I DID ALL THE WORK.
