I was able to get my children's picture book published by Olympia, via a hybrid contract, and based on my personal experience, I would consider Olympia publishing to be a total and complete scam. It's been over 2 years since my book has been published and I've yet to receive a single cent in royalties, and no matter how many times I try to contact anybody at all in the company, whether it be phone or email, no one will respond to me, and I've never been paid anything at all.On top of that, I can tell you that my experience with Olympia, from the very first point of contact, to the date of this writing, has been nothing but appalling and I have only the worst things to say about the company. My recommendation is to avoid Olympia publishing completely.It's been 3 weeks since I posted this, and I would like to provide an update. I have been paid my royalties since this negative review came out, but no one at any point reached out to me to discuss righting wrongs of any kind or even apologize. Everyone can see that Olympia responded to this review, and said they would reach out to me or I could even reach out to them and discuss something that could be done with marketing. Well, nobody will respond to me reaching out, and Olympia never did reach out to me. It was a dead end and a lie just like every other occurrence. I stand by what I said, 100%, about Olympia being a scam. They're only interested in your up front money, and that is it. They're quite possibly the worst publishing company out there.
