Nicole Reefer. I was helped up to the end. She guided me and was very halpfull. Thanks Nicole

I purchased a publishing and marketing package from Page Publishing because it was presented as a way to help promote my book during its launch. Unfortunately, that is not what I experienced. The marketing services included in my package were not provided during my book's launch period, despite the contract stating that the kickoff campaign would begin immediately after distribution of the press release. By the time I was contacted (8 months later) to begin some of these services, the launch window had long since passed. When I raised my concerns, I explained that my issue was not that the services couldn't eventually be completed—it was that they were no longer being delivered during the time they were intended to provide the greatest benefit. I requested a reasonable partial refund to reflect that lost value rather than delayed performance. (I paid them $6700.00 and asked for $2500.00 refund.) Page Publishing cited an email sent approximately eight months after my book's launch as evidence that I declined their marketing services. However, that email came from SnowTree Media and did not identify the sender as a representative working on behalf of Page Publishing. Because I regularly receive unsolicited emails offering to "help with marketing" at my work email address, I reasonably believed it was another solicitation and replied that we—referring to the company I work for—did not need help with our social media. No follow-up email was ever sent explaining who they were or that the message was connected to the marketing package I had purchased. I was disappointed that this misunderstanding was later used as justification for denying my refund request. If you're considering purchasing one of Page Publishing's higher-priced marketing packages, I encourage you to carefully review the contract, ask detailed questions about delivery timelines, and keep copies of all correspondence. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend their services. My book, The Oddities Anthology, was published by Page Publishing, and that information is publicly available.

I submitted my book, and it cost a lot of money. The company (Page Publishing) however did nothing to market it, and I sold very little. On top of that I barely get paid any money for copies sold, I don't get conpensated for copies purchased by consumers but only the store who buys the copies, and after a few years they want an additional $128. These people are scammers and should be out of business.

Use of AI in the cozy coloring book. I will be returning it tomorrow. Sad....

Page Publishing is a scam and their employees are highly unethical. I paid over $4,000 and got a never-ending cycle of delays, excuses, and missing deliverables. The process dragged on for more than two years, and then, with the project still not finished, they demanded an extra “renewal fee” to continue. That’s scam behavior: pay more or we won’t deliver what you already paid for. I paid it anyway just to remove their excuse, and it still didn’t fix anything. Scam on top of scam. What makes this even worse is how many basics I still didn’t receive. I never got the printed books that were supposed to come with the package. I didn’t get the final, sale-ready ebook files you actually need to sell an ebook in stores—just an old draft-type PDF that’s not usable for real distribution. I was promised editable/source files more than once and never received them. The cover process was never properly completed with a final cover package. The “author website/page” and promotion help that were part of the pitch never materialized in any meaningful way. Even simple author name/metadata issues weren’t cleanly and consistently handled across the final materials. Every time I pushed for what was owed, I got deflection like “it’s in the portal” or “contact your coordinator” instead of them simply delivering the files and finishing the job. My assistant reached out repeatedly and we still couldn’t get it resolved. I’m calling it what it looks like: a scam, or at minimum a scam-like business model built around upsells, stalling, and holding your project hostage. Do not sign with them. If you’ve also been scammed by Page Publishing and you already have a lawsuit (or are considering one), reach out—this should be a class-action.

Liars and thieves. That's all this company is. Did you know as the author they do not allow you to confirm book sales with the distributor? Thats a license to steal and I am sure they are taking full advantage of it. Before you sign the contract have an attorney look it over and I guarentee they will tell you to walk away. Everything in the contract is for their benefit, not the author's. Then they tampered with my manuscript to intentionally cause rewrites they then charge you for. Run from these people and do not trust them ever.

BEWARE if you want to submit a children's book! I submitted a picture book. They accepted it. I told them I don't have an illustrator. They told me they had illustrators on staff. After all the paperwork and upfront payments, they sent me samples. They all looked very similar, which I now think was AI-generated. I didn't like the styles and sent in samples from other picture books that matched what I envisioned for my story. I don't remember them responding. They also said the amount I prepaid would provide 12 single-page illustrations or 6 double-paged illustrations. My book was going to be 36 pages long, and I would have to pay extra for more pages. I recinded my book and asked for a refund. They said they don't give refunds, but I could send in another manuscript. Now I have to submit a whole new manuscript just so I don't lose the money I paid! I won't submit another picture book, so I need to write something else!
