Very helpful and responsive, and have guided me in the publishing of my book. Patient with the errors that I made! Friendly staff and will take the frustration away from you with getting your book through to be published.

Having had a screenplay written about my true story I decided to have a book written. I did some research and went ahead with Woodbridge publishers. Despite some initial early problems once they were sorted out the team and ghostwriter wrote an AMAZING book and everybody thinks so, well done!!

Woodbridge Publishers have a very good customer service team. Simon, harry and team were very helpful from the very beginning . They work at your pace to get things done. Very professional and reliable team. Thanks to you all.

I recently published my piano Book and am very hapy with it. Woodbridge Publishers are Lovely people to work with. Simon and his team were always helpful.

I have had a brilliant experience with Woodbridge and would highly recommend them. Excellent talent pool of writers and marketing did a fantastic job also. I am currently working closely with Woodbridge to turn my memoir into a film and immensely happy with the script their amazing team kindly provided.

What made my experience great: Woodbridge publishers was with me on this book of Arun every step of the way. Whether it was big or small I had the freedom to ask them. Why is this company doing well ? I think this company is doing well because the employees including Simon Samuel are very down to.earth and made me feel at home.

I paid Woodbridge Publishers GBP 5,362 for ghostwriting, illustration, marketing and a podcast for my children's book. The book was finished about a year late, the print files failed Amazon KDP's checks, the prepaid marketing never started, and the company has still not paid GBP 2,862 of a refund it agreed in writing. I signed the contract in March 2025. It promised delivery within 12 weeks. The illustrations were finished in June 2026, about a year after the agreed deadline. When the paperback was uploaded to Amazon KDP in July 2026, the interior was flagged for margin and ISBN errors, and the same errors came back after each attempted fix. When I asked for the working files, I received 35 separate spread files with the text built into every illustration. There was no print layout, no spine or wraparound cover, and no copyright page carrying the ISBN. Not a single word of the book can be corrected from these files. I also paid in full, in advance, for a three-month marketing package. In August 2026 the company confirmed in writing that work on it had not commenced. After I sent a formal letter before action, the company refunded GBP 1,300 and agreed in writing to refund the remaining GBP 4,062 in a single payment by 30 September 2026. It then paid GBP 1,200. It has not paid the remaining GBP 2,862 and did not reply to my final demand, so I have issued a county court claim. Payments were taken under three different names on the card statements: Appmi* Wdbrgpubuk, The Pro Website Design and Digital Tech LLC. My advice to other authors: check which company you are actually contracting with, make the editable source files and a print-ready layout named deliverables in the contract, keep everything in writing, and do not pay for marketing in advance. UPDATE · 10 October 2026 Woodbridge Publishers has replied to this review. The key facts are in writing. The refund: in August 2026 the company wrote to me: "We confirm that we agree to your proposed payment arrangement. The outstanding refund balance of GBP 4,062 will be refunded to you in a single payment by 30 September 2026." It paid GBP 1,200 of that sum. Its reply now says the remaining GBP 2,862 will not be refunded. The delay: the contract promised delivery within 12 weeks, by June 2025.The manuscript alone was only finalised on 25 August 2025. In April 2025 I was promised a timeline. It never arrived, and neither did the estimated delivery date promised in October 2025. My contact at the company changed several times during the project. I was never given a revised timeline, or told that any request of mine would move the delivery date. The illustrations: the character design the company sent me in April 2025 was a Shar Pei, drawn from photos of my own dog. The cover style was discussed in August and September 2025 because the company sent me several options and asked me to choose. After a revised cover was promised on 18 September 2025, nothing arrived until 10 November 2025, although I chased on 2 and 18 October. The storyboard that arrived then showed a different breed of dog. Approvals: approving draft artwork is not the same as receiving print-ready files. The files failed Amazon KDP's checks, and a printed proof showed the dog's face falling into the centre fold of the book. The reply also discusses my pregnancy. I did not agree to that being published, and it does not change the contractual delivery date, which had already passed in June 2025. The matter is now before the county court, and I will not comment further here.
