    Answered
    For over two years, Fulton Books has yet to publish my book of poetry. The book is only (27) pages. The main problem is their so called editing department. I believe no "human eyes" are used to edit/revise any publication. They use computers that are designed for simple text...not poetry or "spoken word." Most of the revisions that have been sent back include dangling participles. If I wrote a line that stated "I Love You" Fulton would send it to me "I Love You" which makes absolutely no sense. And you can not tell me an actual person looking at this would be ok with sending it back to me in this manner. I am the complaint from (Dec. 8, 2022) and yes...I am still trying to get my book published. I paid Fulton over $3000 and have made NO MONEY for my troubles. In addition, I just received an email from my assistant that I have to pay $75 for the last set of revisions (which I NEVER introduced). But let me say this...I will pay the $75 to get Fulton out of my life! This has been a lesson I will not forget. Just because a company has been around for a long time...doesn't mean they will do right by you. If you are a poet, stay away from Fulton! They will turn your joy into misery!

    Fulton Books has been an absolute pleasure to work with. They are very supportive and make the publishing process easy to understand and do. They are also very fair in their pay scale for the author. I am extremely happy that they published my sons first book and hope they will publish more of his books. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to be published.
