Description

I was researching self publishing options for a novella that I plan to publish in the next year or so and a rep from this company reached out to me. We had discussed over the phone a few times the options that they had available but they continued to use high pressure tactics such as, limited time offers on pricing, attempting to get payment info over the phone, and requesting personal information. I did eventually get them to reduce their proposed costs to a level I thought reasonable and gave them my name. After receiving the proposed contract from them, there were several issues with the document (attached) including a lack of business information, removal of several items we had negotiated, a lack of information for legal jurisdiction. I had approached them about this and other reviews found on the BBB and they dodged the questions and passed off the reviews here as people with nothing better to do. I do not recommend using this company for publishing needs.
