⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️As an author who has published six books with Xlibris, I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their team has consistently provided exceptional service and guidance, making the entire publishing process seamless and rewarding.The professionalism and expertise of their staff are unmatched. They took the time to truly understand my vision for each book, ensuring that the final product was exactly what I had envisioned – if not better. The quality of the printing, layout, and design exceeded my expectations every time.What sets Xlibris apart is their dedication to authors. Whether it’s assistance with editing, marketing, or distribution, their team is always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in my success. I also appreciated the wide range of options they provided, allowing me to tailor the publishing process to my specific needs and goals.Thanks to Xlibris, my work has reached a global audience, and I feel empowered as an author. If you’re looking for a reliable and supportive partner in your publishing journey, Xlibris is the way to go. I am beyond grateful for their help in bringing my six books to life and look forward to working with them again in the future.
I have self-published two large books on the history of psychiatry using the services of Xlibris. For each book, a coordinator gently guided me through the complexities of publishing.After many proof reads, corrections and more corrections, the books went to the printers. The quality of presentation and materials was beyond what I expected. I agreed to a marketing package which was extensive but did not result in a great number of sales. There was no guarantee that people would buy my books which only appealed to a niche market.I suggest self-publishers research the cost benefit of different marketing strategies before making a decision. It is wise to get a professional to proof read the first printed draft. It will save time and expense in the long run.It is better economics, If possible, to sell your book directly or by consignment. Xlibris will give suggestions on how best to be your own salesperson. Dont expect to start to make a profit unless you can sell over a 1000 copies. Personal satisfaction knowing someone has appreciated your book makes it worth while.The services of Xlibris were consistent, responsive and professional.
I'm not sure where to start, but the shady business dealings showed up in the very beginning when I received my first copies of my published book. I had several pages with misspelled words. Even when I shared the manuscript that I sent with no misspellings they still wanted to charge me before they would make corrections. We got through that hiccup and I initially received royalty payments for 2 quarters. I recently called them to see why I had received no royalty payments for the last several quarters. I was told there had been no sales. I know for a fact there were sales. But the Rep claimed they weren't showing any sales. A word to the Wise! Pay close attention to the experiences spelled out by the Authors.
I published 5 books with them, they always show greedy interest in my books! No proof of anything they promise. They don’t make an appointment to come to their USA offices! I think they are scared that people find out they are cons🤔 I am still waiting for my promised free copies of my books. included in their offer🐁 Americans in these days are surviving, promising but not delivering 🐔
I published my book (Children of the Rainbow) with Xlibris in 2022,Even though it is sold via more than 50 websites all over the world, I HAVEN'T BEEN PAID A PENNY.=Thank you for your prompt response and attention to this matter. I would like to clarify that I was never informed or required to create an account within the EFT system. Furthermore, it seems impractical that a transfer to our local bank account via IBAN cannot be facilitated.
I signed up with X Libris late in 2022, and was bombarded with comments telling me how good the manuscript was, and how everyone was thrilled with itAll good for my ego. and like Mr McFadden's review was bamboozled by the fact that when I called them I spoke to people in the Phillipines, and in Utah USA. I was told they had an office in Chatswood Sydney NSW, but when you called it, it seemed that the call was being relayed to another number. After paying the initial fee, which was on special, I was then offered other services such as marketing, and even told that my book could be turned into a movie. When I asked where the book was to be marketed I was told Europe, USA, Mexico and China. Having been a former law enforcement officer I smelt a rat and told X Libris I wanted my money back and pulled out of the deal. Despite my request I did not get one cent back, and it was a very large amount, far in excess of what I should have been charged in my opinion. I subsequently got another publisher who published my book for a fraction of the price. Overall it was a very costly experience, if I ever write another book, it will be about how NOT to publish a book
So many things went wrong. I was promised a lot of things that I paid thousands of dollars for that I didn't get. I was promised 100 press releases and none were done. I was promised a website but none was made. I was shocked when I found out that the amount I would get paid for book sales was a fraction of what Amazon pays and I could have uploaded the book there for free instead of paying Xlibris thousands of dollars. Then a salesman tried to get me to pay $10,000 for marketing, which they probably would not even do, even after getting the money. No, the entire experience was extremely upsetting. Publishing my book with them was a huge mistake. But we all make mistakes, right?
