I signed a publishing agreement with Wiley Book Writers in March 2024. They promised to do 4 weekly advertisements per week, distribute 500 copies of my book to bookstores across the country, and sales goals were included in the contract. For that I was asked to pay $3000 up front to print the books. The balance would be due after 8 months if the sales goals were met. They were not and no books were ever distributed to any book stores. The advertisements were done in a timely manner and I was pleased with them. I cancelled my agreement with them in November and requested a refund because the books were never distributed. It is now December 16, 2024 and all I'm getting is the promise of a phone call that never seems to happen. Our relationship has been great until I finally told them I wanted my money back. Now just silence.

Popular literature publisher. However, Wiley is a low-grade, low-quality source of multiple medical journals. Though many of their journals claim to be "peer-reviewed," they openly allow studies to be published for products that have been sponsored by the manufacturers of those products. According to Yale, "Studies sponsored by industry were 3.6 times more likely to have conclusions favorable to industry than studies without that support."[1] Wiley contributes to the scientific industry's dangerous "Replication Crisis," a human-harmful result of studies performed in unprofessional manners [2], such as by hosting papers written by corrupt authors sponsored to give good results by manufacturers. The Replication Crisis has resulted in nearly 40% of scientific studies being non-reproducible a second time. You can see one example of Wiley publishing a corrupt study sponsored by a manufacturer here: [3] Based on the evidence, Wiley is not a quality source of scientific publishing data, and its published studies should be scrutinized for the elements of unprofessionalism, such as corrupt funding, present in its content, that make it clear that actual scientific results are not strived for. 2 out of 5.
