This is lengthy and I have several pictures for proof. The short is that I saw an advertisement on my Instagram account about self publishing. It said $500. I sent a message asking about the package. The package was $599 which the representative communicating with me named Tyler Hudson said the $99 was fur ISBN number. I sent my manuscript to him via my email. He sent me a stripe request for the $599 it charged me $600 and I asked about the dollar. He said it was just a test charge. I bought 2 at this price believing I was saving myself money. I noticed a few things were different than my first experience such as they didn’t set up the business side first but being new at publishing I didn’t realize the red flag. Next was as the book was editing they kept changing my words and I had to make extensive corrections which means they had to be cha ing my manuscript via AI etc. I finally got this corrections made and noticed the margins and layout didn’t match. It was hard fit then to match the font from the samples I provided. The art work was AI generated so they couldn’t seem to match that either. I asked about my ISBN number and was put off several days until finally they wanted $1,000 more dollars than the $1,200 I had already paid and said the extra $1,000 was to copyright my work. They said they couldn’t publish without it. I told them I didn’t have it and had to wait. I started doing my own investigation on copy writing and this includes going to my original publisher to ask how it worked. In the end I concluded that had lied about the copywriting. Finally they sent me a google doc asking for all of my personal information and it was a red flag I could not deny. I knew something was wrong. I felt at that point this dishonest company was a scam and alerted my credit card for protection. They never asked me to read the contract bogus as it is but the contract stated 100% mi ey back unless you dispute them. I never got my mi ey back. Of course they did not publish my books because they claimed I didn’t have them copyrighted. Complete scam!!! I looked up in BBB they are not listed there and I took a picture of this too.
