I think they are scammers.
They were wonderful, supportive and helpful until I told them I had no more money for this project. Now they will not communicate with me. I paid about $2000 upfront.

DO NOT GO NEAR THESE DISGUSTING PEOPLE Giant scam. Wasted my time and they stopped responding to emails after a few weeks. Their pitch is deceptive and dishonest, at first framing it like they're the company that will help level up your book, but then sliding in the fact that you have to pay lots extra for them to care about marketing at all, which is suspicious considering they take a large amount in royalties from book sales. Because I thought there was no way they'd leave lower tier books dead in the water, I let them take my thousands. In an entire year, I sold zero books with these people - not even $20 or a single sale. I have gotten zero monetary value from doing business with them, in fact I have gotten negative value. They were too lazy to even submit a report for $0, so I was confused for a long time as to why I wasn't getting paid whatsoever. Therefore, their website is likely dead with few users. I confirmed this by plugging their URL into a traffic checker. Different checkers gave me 0, 240, 8 as the estimated users going to their bookstore. So their online bookstore is a total front. So their entire revenue stream is likely from swindling people. Their source of revenue is probably your initial signing fee, not book sales. I don't know for sure but that appears to be the case. They didn't care to make things right or salve my author wounds they've inflicted, which is a signal of their guilt. Look at Trustpilot and go past the exaggerated 5-star gloating and get to the real stuff at the 1star reviews. These people went through the exact same humiliation process I have, with zero reports or sales, paltry communication from the Liferich team. If I get a total and full refund, I will delete this review.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. To clarify a few important points: as an assisted self-publishing company, our role is to provide the tools, services, and support authors need to make their books available for sale. However, sales and promotion largely depend on author-driven marketing efforts. While we offer promotional services as optional add-ons, many effective marketing strategies can also be done independently at little to no cost. Regarding sales reports, they are made available in your Online Author Center, and we are always happy to walk authors through how to access them. We do not pay for or control outside reviews, and we never guarantee sales, as success in publishing it is influenced by many factors—genre, platform, promotion, and reader interest, to name a few. We understand your frustration, and while we cannot comment on third-party website traffic estimates, our bookstore is just one of many distribution channels. Books published with us are also made available through major online retailers like Amazon and Barnes & Noble. If you believe there has been an unresolved issue or communication gap, we’d welcome the opportunity to review your account directly.

A good job but with several misspelled words. Spell check is needed.

I received friendly and professional service. All my queries were answered promptly. I feel more information could have been given regarding extra costs for marketing, book pricing etc. this information was given much later in the process which caused some disappointment.
