This company is helping me get my book in front of readers for me. They are very reasonably cheap. I love talking to Zara she is very knowledgeable and interested in my book. She’s helping me to get closer with my readers.

Readers Magnet Business Practices
I wrote a complaint to the BBB and part of the response I received from Readers Magnet included that they had reimbursed me and Ms. Lopez had tried to reach me. Yes, she wrote me a rambling email that laid the blame on me, not the company.
Below are some excerpts from the email I sent the company on 2-26/26:
• Unethical and poor customer services business practices: Had you and your staff been ethical and customer service oriented, they would have taken immediate action to fully reimburse me for the services I cancelled. But, sadly this was not done. Nor have you bothered to return my calls and you are the V.P. of this company!.
o One of your employees pressured me to give my manuscript to Readers Magnet so they can print it and make sales. Additionally, she wanted me to pay Readers Magnet. I declined because I kept asking her why should I pay you print my book when I already have a publisher? She claimed sales would increase…….I am quite certain the pressure tactics come from top management. Did she think I was stupid enough to turn my manuscript over to the company and then be asked to pay to do so?
• Aggressive and money grubbing marketing tactics: Top management has instituted a culture which includes aggressive marketing strategies that are not transparent and too focused on obtaining as much money out of current client as possible.
• Mr. Abines, you showed up at the November 6, 2025 wine tasting event at the Crowne Plaza hotel in midtown Manhattan even though your staff marketed the event after it had concluded. I do not think you knew what the heck was going on.
o This unbelievable error was not because I notified your staff last minute about the wine tasting. I did not. (See below data and emails sent out after the event). Your staff failed to plan in advance for the event.
o If your staff knew a lot about marketing they would have done it three weeks before the event with 2 follow-ups.
o Had we been provided with the email list below we could have called each person to follow-up to verify their attendance.

Misleading Promises
The company promised extensive marketing and exposure, including major media interviews and book fair placements. However, what was delivered was often generic, low-impact, and fell short of expectations.

A Positive Start
A Positive Start – My First Impressions as an Author with ReadersMagnet
I recently registered as an author with ReadersMagnet, and so far, my experience has been very positive. The platform is clear, easy to navigate, and the registration process was smooth and straightforward. From the very beginning, it was evident that this is a well-organized and professional team.
Communication has been excellent. Whenever I had questions, I received prompt and polite responses. It’s reassuring to know that real people are behind the platform—people who are approachable, attentive, and willing to help. That level of support makes a big difference, especially in the early stages.
While I haven’t yet had long-term experience with their full range of services, my initial impression is encouraging. The platform feels reliable and author-friendly, and I look forward to seeing how this partnership develops.
Overall, joining ReadersMagnet has been a smooth and positive step on my writing journey. I would recommend it to fellow authors who are looking for a helpful and supportive environment to publish and promote their work.

I had the opportunity to work with Ms. Kathleen
I had the opportunity to work with ReadersMagnet LLC, and I truly appreciate their dedication to supporting authors in sharing their work with a broader audience. As an online marketing agency specializing in book promotion, they provided valuable exposure for my book through their various marketing platforms.
Their team was professional, communicative, and eager to help me navigate the promotional process. I especially appreciated their efforts in featuring my book, which helped expand its reach and connect me with new readers. Their services, including online marketing and book events, are a great resource for authors looking to enhance their visibility.
While every author’s experience may differ, I found ReadersMagnet to be a helpful partner in my book promotion journey. I would recommend them to fellow writers seeking additional marketing support to amplify their book’s presence.
