Westwood Books Publishing Company - Westwood's book promotion service

Early in 2024 I enlisted Westwood to promote the book which they had published for me. For this I agreed to pay Westwood $3K in six instalments of $500. I have had no progress report from them and attempts to contact Westwood by email and phone have been unsuccessful. I have since contacted a major retail outlet, Barnes & Noble, who are unaware of the promotion.

OnlineBookClub.org - Not worth the effort

I tried OnlineBookClub (OBC) as a reviewer months ago. The book I selected was poorly structured, had little character development, and presented events that were simply unbelievable. Amateurishly written. I resigned from reviewing and forgot about the site until I received an email offering $30 to review a specific book. I agreed and read the book (it wa...

Fulton Books Publishing - Question of book sales, royalties

Trafford - My self published book in 2003

I should have fought with them years ago but I believed them when they were telling me that I hadn't said one book. I didn't know anything about the publishing world and they knew that. They know that about everyone so they take advantage of that. Meanwhile there is no one to help people with all of that. What has been going on is really bad, the fact that...

Covenant Books Murrells Inlet SC - Publishing

I have done two book collaborations with Covenant. The first went well but this time did not. When the cover design was completed I suggested a different font then waited for the change to be made. After several weeks, I questioned the delay and was told it was in process. After nearly two months I sent a costly overnight letter to the CEO, hoping to get...

Starr Ayers, Author - ABC of Equality

I have been a customer of Staples since the 80's and was extremely upset when I walked in my local store and saw this offensive book was front and center. Why have you chosen to sell a book that tells children they have NO assigned gender and that it 's up to them who they want to be? How disgusting and offensive. We are male and female. This is an assault...
