My name is Linda Gragg. I have had a first author experience that has left me devastated. I had many "helpers" who did not help, It took over a year to publish, and due to incompetent information and explanation given I have a product that is going no where. My initial cost was $3000 which went up to the $7000 mark over the year as additional "choices" of advertising costs which where not explained but just "my choice". Being a first time author I got took and took bad. I do not recommend this company and I am going to review them on every web site I can find. It is a scam. They did not even publish their name on my book. There is no accounting for money spent, advertising plans, no financial accounting , nothing. They promise on emails what they will do , then it is not done. Their website promises transparency, honesty, etc. It all sounds so good. You will be took plain and simple with this company. I repeatedly asked for the books that were to be shipped to me and never got them. I set up a separate account in the bank for sale revenue to come to, and it was set up wrong, and I have not received one penny from book sales. Not one penny. This is wrong on so many levels. I have daily reached out for help and now there is simply no response because I have repeatedly told them that there is no more money coming their way from me. Yet, no one does nothing. They will take your money, as much as they can get, and you will end up in a position of losing it all. I warn you, this is a total scam. You will lose your money and have a product you cannot use. I will now take the time to review this company on every website I can find warning people off from losing their money. I would not have given them one star if it was possible. They take raw authors who want to publish and crush them. I will not use this company and would not recommend them to anybody ever. I kept hope up until it was crystal clear that nothing more was going to be done to help me in any way. They want to talk to you instead of putting anything in writing. Fortunately for me, I got a lot of things in writing that will come in handy if I decide to pursue them in any way. An experience like this crushes you. The only reason I ended up with a single book, was I bought my own book. I gave them $1000.00 for the book convention and I was supposed to receive 70 books back that were unsold, and after repeatedly asking for them, still to this day have not received the books. I have daily asked for advertising accounting as I see they have done nothing and $400.00 of that last $1000 was supposed to go to extra advertising. If you want to just throw your money away. This is the ideal place to do it. They promise Transparency, Honesty, Financial Accountability on their website. Don't believe it. You will also not get Advertising Progress as they don't do it. Not unless you give them more money. An overall total rip off. They don't deliver. Scam.
