Author Beware! ***Update based on reply by Stellar: I made it very clear that it was my Mother In Law who was scammed by this company and for the amount she was scammed for. She's not a happy customer, but has been extremely stressed out by the whole situation. I stand by what I said, because this is exactly how this company works and has worked. I have email proof of their lies promising huge contracts with a traditional publisher as well as email proof from the actual publisher stating they've never done business with them.**** This company works in the following way to scam authors out of their money and control access to their books. 1. A genuine literary agent will never request any money up front. They work with traditional publishers to secure a publishing deal for you and receive part of the profit from that deal. 2. This company pretends to be an agent who works with traditional companies, but they tell self-published authors (typically those who are already self published on Amazon or who have gone through a vanity publishing company) that they need to spend money "re-publishing" through them in order for a traditional company to take them on. 3. After acquiring the author's book content and copyrighted material, they proceed to convince the author that they need to redo artwork and reformat the books all under the author's name. They charge exorbitant fees for this "necessary" reworking promising that it will attract a traditional publisher and get them a huge million dollar deal. 4. They go through the motions of doing this work even offering proofs, etc. To the trained eye, it's obvious that the artwork is completely subpar, and minimal money was actually spent. After all, it's completely free to publish the books on Amazon. 5. Now, they have the author's name and are publishing as them, however, if any royaltees come in they go directly to this company and the author sees nothing. Meanwhile they convince the author to purchase other packages to promote their books to traditional publishers...radio interviews, turning the books into motion pictures, and other marketing scams. They've followed this exact process with my elderly mother-in-law to the tune of $15,000! Beware!

Being relentlessly called by them with… Being relentlessly called by them with a high pressure sell. I get calls from so called publishers that are going to republish my book all the time, with the promise of sales, etc. Not buying it.

I am extremely appreciativ that Stellar… I am extremely appreciativ that Stellar Literary Press and Media published my book with excellence; they were friendly, and on time. I highly recommend.

Scammers!!!!!!!! Scammers!!!!!!!!! Scammers!!!!!

Stellar based on my experience I took the time to write a review about Stellar based on my extraordinary experience, which stands out significantly from my encounters with other publishers.
