Description
NY Book Publishers promised to promote my book with a 100% guaranteed ROI. They were to edit the book using a real human. Instead, they edited the book with an AI program (obvious, from all the errors), did some inexpensive services like listing the book on Amazon and Ingram, and then did nothing. After 6 months they had sold zero books. They apologized and asked for another 6 months, while trying to upsell me on additional services. When I started putting in bad reviews they offered to refund $1500. BBB reported that their 42 Broadway address is a "virtual" address. Their agent Jim Bannister [email protected] talks great, does not do what is promised.
