I enlisted Penguin Book Writers to polish the opening chapters of my novel, focusing on refining tone and clarity. Their editor honed in on subtle inconsistencies and enhanced the pacing without compromising my style. The result was a smoother, more engaging read that set the perfect stage for the rest of my manuscript.

These people are reprehensible! Don’t go anywhere near them. They will outright lie, ignore contractual commitments, make promises they have no intention of keeping, and when it comes to marketing books they are beyond incompetent. I paid a sizable fee to Penguin Book Writers to market a mystery/thriller novel with outstanding reader reviews along with a glowing "Publishers Weekly" review, comparing the book to a John Sandford novel (he has sold more than 30 million books). Even so, after a frustrating year and a half they had not sold even a single copy of my book. Not one! This despite countless promises to “up their game.” What’s more, the contract clearly called for a full refund if the sales commitment wasn’t met after six months, yet they refuse to honor that contract. I finally reached out to one of their so-called compliance officers who promised a full refund on several occasions, claiming at one point that the refund had been processed by the PBW financial team, and that I would receive it in a day or two. Weeks passed and it never came. So...more lies! In other words, they have literally stolen my money outright, all of which, of course, is illegal, immoral, and unethical...and highly unprofessional. Is it any wonder then that PBW has "No Accreditation" with Better Business Bureau along with an F rating? My advice: Steer clear of these con artists!!!

This company is a fraudulent company. They have ripped me off over $10,000.00. They lie and are deceitful. They sent me a fake movie contract, pretended to be a representative of Books a Million, falsified documents, and could never document where they placed my books. They lied and said my book was a best seller in 3 countries, and yet when I did extensive research no one heard of my book or received any copies of my book. They operate from out of the country but pretend to be in California. Do not trust them.

This a scam. Beware. Avoid.

This company scammed me out if $3000. I found a contract with them on September 27, 2023 they have not sold one of my books. They are scammers. They have no integrity. They are fast talkers and they need to give me my money back. They take advantage of people and they all end up in jail where they belong. Please do not trust them unless you have money just to give away and I don’t shame on you Penguin Book Writers shame on you.

I did publish my first book, "The American Visa," with Penguin Book Writers. As previously reviewed, this did go smoothly, even though it took a year to publish. What concerns me is the service that was paid for and not delivered at all. Samantha, my project manager, convinced me to pay $999.00 to get the copyright done and to get a few other services in this package so that none was delivered. I was waiting patiently for a long time. No one did follow up. Lately, I have been exchanging emails with Josh Baker, one of the best men at this company, but he has even stopped following me. He promised in August that "everything is ready and will get in a week," but here we are, December 20th, 2024, and no one is answering my calls or responding to my emails. How is it possible to treat customers in this way? I just asked to refund $999.00 for the service that never delivered. Please do so. I understand you overpromised on that thing that you are not qualified enough to do. Refund the money, please. By ignoring my emails and complaints is not helpful and I suggest not to do the same to other authors.

Penguin Book Writers created a captivating author marketing campaign that perfectly captured my book’s essence and connected with my target audience. Thanks for your efforts!
