My 82yo father was scammed by these "publishers." They never delivered what was promised and continually asked him for money. In Aug.

2023 I became my father's POA and after no less than 5 calls in 2 days from "zach" I answered my dad's phone and informed them that not only was he in the hospital with heart failure but that there was no way that he would be paying any more money. I have blocked three phone numbers and yet they continue to call. They WILL NOT STOP!! THIS IS HARASSMENT!!

I have submitted a complaint to the state attorney general on my Dad's behalf and will continue to follow up and hope that I can save anyone the stress that they have given my father.

These people are liars and thieves. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Preferred solution: I want them to stop contacting my Dad. I also want them to provide copies of the signed contract.

User's recommendation: NO- AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

I had to fight a long fight to get the book interior correctly entered. They tried to DRASTICALLY change the COVER picture. They kept wringing more and more money out of me for marketing, with promises that never came true. They do not deliver what few royalties I have in the normal way, and will not help me receive them through their kind of roundabout internet/paypal process.

My Dad also been ripped off by many publishing firm. But now, were glad that even our dad passed away , we're still continuosly working on his book with the trusted people.

Author Uplifters Press and Media has a great work. Try to inquire them by sending them a message that shows on their websites. authoruplifters.com . My dad's book is What's your Analyst's?

I had to pull teeth to receive my royalties for years prior to 2022. However for 2022 my royalty was for 1 ebook. However on Amazon I spiked upward which to me means more than one ebook They wont let you see what amazon sends to them for royalties and I dont understand why they wont let you see what amazon sent to them In addition I still had typos in my book no matter how many times I had to correct the errors. I finally just gave up correcting

It was a long fight to get the interior correctly entered. They tried to COMPLETELY change my COVER, and I LOST MY MIND. They kept wringing $ out of me with EMPTY promises. NO royalties delivered.

It was difficult to get the interior and the COVER correctly done. For ALL their promises of their marketing results at GREAT additional expense to me, NOTHING came of it. Their delivery of any PITTANCE of royalties is not by common means. It is through internet methods, not common ones.They will not help me receive the few dollars of mine they are holding.

I like the people that handled my book project

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I published my book with them a few years ago. The only thing I don't like about them is they call me too late in the evening. Other than that the company is awesome, reliable, and most important legit.

Not satisfied with Go To Publish. Paid $593.00 for my book to be marketed since November 2021, but received no indication by email of the progress of the book, There is no indication of my book on Amazon.

I paid for an ebook of my book to be done, but no more information on its progress sent to me by email. I am uncomfortable with Go To Publish.

A woman called earlier today and a man just called me. They are looking at self published on Amazon.com to call to lie to them-And searching for the author's personal info.

Don't do business with them if they are shady like that.

I laughed and told them I didn't want them to call me. It's 4/21/21 Los Angeles County, CA

Another Vanity Publisher Residing in Philippines

GoToPublish - Another Vanity Publisher Residing in Philippines
I've been expending a lot of words and time lately warning about the latest scam phenomenon to hit the writing world: fake publishing and marketing companies that, through outrageous prices and worthless services, extract enormous amounts of money from unwary writers. Based in the Philippines (despite their apparent US addresses, phone numbers, and telemarketer names) and focusing primarily on small press and self-published authors (particularly authors who've published with one of the Author Solutions imprints), these companies recruit writers with relentless--and highly deceptive--phone and email solicitations. Some do provide the services authors pay for, albeit at seriously inflated prices and often of poor quality. Others just take the money and run. I'm hearing from a growing number of writers who've paid five figures in fees to one--or, in some cases, more than one--of these scams, with next to nothing to show for it. I was called by this company under the name of 'Shelly Binghay' (looks foreign) several times with different offers and I got leery about the whole situation.
