Hampton Publishing Company I recommend just self publishing on Amazon as opposed to using this company for several reasons. If I had researched Amazon self publishing more before signing up, I would have saved the $1000+ and been done already, I could have just given it to a friend to edit and accomplished the same thing. They charm you into thinking they are going to be extremely attentive and helpful, then it turns frustrating. 1) Outsourced to India 2) Dealt with 11 different people "in charge of my publishing" while trying to self publish. there was seemingly a new person weekly. 3) Terrible communication, due to dealing with different people had to resend info several times. 4) After 6 months, nothing had been done except for a crappy book cover, which they corrected with my specific instructions. 5) terrible editing. I cannot stress this enough. I found over 145 editing errors as they kept sending me sections of it. . 6) Constant attempts to finesse you out of more money for copyright(which you can do yourself for $40, "marketing" ISBN and other scammy scams), and other things you don't need like trademarking and additional services. I finally told them stop trying to upsell me and just publish the book already.(they still tried twice more) Currently I am at the six months mark and I just received the "final"edited manuscript, Will update as I go. Update; am in the process of receiving the edited book in increments will update with a conclusion when I’m done. Currently they want all my bank info and social and card info so they can create accounts for me on Amazon, ingramspark and Barnes and Noble. I will not be giving them this info.

It is expensive rehab though they will get your book out onto amazon. If you want their rehab services you will pay though you will feel better about yourself.

This was the first time I ever published anything, David Marshall and Sylvia Grant made my fears go away. They were helpful in all areas of publishing my autobiography. They guided me from beginning to end and the results have been excellent. They did a wonderful job and I would highly recommend the organization for any publishing needs.

I have had nothing but a poor experience with them. They took thousands of dollars with nothing to show for it. Website still isn't up. Always asking for more money. Stay away!

Do not trust this company. They will promise you the world, take your money , then disappear. I researched all the positive reviews and the authors that supposedly reviewed them don’t exist. Stop using people and refund the money owed to us for your lack of contract obligations .

David Marshall was my project manager, and I was so pleased with his excellent and timely communications and responsiveness. He expressed genuine interest in the printing of my small essay (30-40,000 words) and made a number of key suggestions. I was especially pleased with the cover design.

Continuous hard sell on overpriced marketing packages. Sabotaged my manuscript during editing, i.e., removing or adding words in sentences (not making sense) inserted (copied) entire chapter in the middle of the next, removed all paragraph indents, refusing to correct, this back and forth went on for 5 months. And finally, tried to charge me again for the package already purchased. My final "approved" edit that was published resulted in indent and typeset issues. I could go on... Stay away from this company!
