Promised publishing services not delivered
I purchased a publishing package from Writepublishers.com on 11 September 2025 for $499. I was advised the service would include publication on Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble, three formats (paperback, hardcover and eBook), and five complimentary printed copies, with an estimated completion time of 7–8 working days.
Five months later, I have still not received the five printed copies, despite multiple follow-ups and assurances they would be sent. I have also been unable to independently verify any Barnes & Noble listing for my book.
Communication has continued, but the original timeline has extended from about one week to several months without the key deliverables being completed.
I later learned that the book appears to have been uploaded using standard Amazon print-on-demand self-publishing, which I was able to do myself directly. This raised concerns about the value of the service provided compared to what was represented at the time of sale.
I contacted the company before posting this review and gave an opportunity to resolve the matter, however the printed copies and verifiable Barnes & Noble publication remain outstanding.
Prospective authors should carefully research publishing services and clearly understand what they are paying for before committing funds.
