      I have recently been a client of Citi of Books and have been very impressed with their service! Unlike another publisher I was involved with, this company's responses were quick, professional, and amazing! ****** my contact, has been friendly, caring, kind, and professional. She responds quickly to any and all of the emails I have sent to her. That is a big deal. The other publisher has taken so long with every step, months actually, and with Citi of Books it has not been the same experience. Everyone I have spoken to has been great. My initial contact *** has been marvelous and I appreciate her so much! It's not easy to trust your project with strangers, but Citi of Books has become more like friends. I highly recommend them!

      I am an author of seven published books. Therefore I have worked with a few book publishing companies. I have high praise for this company and especially for ***************************.Many of these companies only want your money. They care nothing about you as an author. The sad part is the majority never read your book even though they published it.However ***** has gone above and beyond the call of duty. I became impressed with him when he told me about certain passages in my book. He also followed my social media platforms and gave me great marketing advice like promote myself more as an author even though I have other businesses that I also promote. I also had my first hard back cover book published through this company. ***************************** Ph.D

      Harassing phone calls and uses "um" every other word. Why would we use a publicist that doesn't have a basic grasp of the language of the book.

      Citi of Books, Inc.

      Date: 07/23/2024

      Dear *******, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate all customer input as it helps us improve our services. That said, we're surprised by your experience, as it doesn't align with the feedback we typically receive. Our publicists at Citi of Books have a high standard of professionalism and ensure that all interactions with our clients are positive and respectful, and your situation was an uncommon occurrence. According to the record, no calls made matched the call logs provided by the reviewer. Hence, we will investigate this matter further so we can address it accordingly. Also, it is rampant nowadays to get negative reviews due to the efforts made by the competitors in the market. We always aim to enhance our service, and your review is valuable for us to improve. Wed be happy to discuss the situation with you in more detail for clarification. Please reach out to us directly at ***************************** or *************** so we can address your concerns with the appropriate team. Thank you again for your feedback.
