DO NOT USE EXCEL DO NOT USE EXCEL! These people are useless. They mis-formatted the interior of my book in an egregious way such that the two-page spread illustrations were misaligned! Then they wanted to charge me a lot of money for them to fix their own mistake. They also suck at communicating, and most weeks they don't work on your project. They don't even open the file. Most of the 5-star reviews you see were coerced out their clients when their projects were going well, so keep that in mind when making a decision about where to put your money. *Addendum to original review* In Excel's response to me, they said "Upon reviewing your project, we found that all approvals were given for the formatting and layout, including the placement of two-page spread illustrations. However, we understand that sometimes preferences may change after publication..." My preferences never changed. Excel never showed me what that interior would look like in a printed version of the book. Turns out, the interior they created for me misaligned the two-page spreads. I thought I could trust Excel to do their job of formatting the interior of the book (after all, that is why I contracted them in the first place), but I was wrong. Whoops. Then they asked me for $300 to fix their own mistake.

"Exceptional Service and Partnership: A Positive Experience with Excel Book Writing" My husband and I were searching for a publishing company and we came across Excel Book Writing. From the very start, the company, including our agent Sophia, was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. They kept us updated on the process of our book and we formed a great partnership. When each chapter was completed, we were blown away, and if any chapter needed corrections, the team made sure we were satisfied with the revised outcome. I am very pleased with Excel Book Writing and I look forward to conducting business with them in the future. Thank you for the awesome service, and I will definitely be referring Excel Book Writing to my friends and family for any services they may need.

Excell gets a 5-star review My experience is and has been excellent. I have high praise for my 'handler,' Sophia Miller, and the website person, Alice Peters. They have stayed in contact regularly and made the process easy. Their staff of editors and designers are excellent are instrumental in making my book, One Thing After Another and Then..., a success. It lacks only final approval from me before it goes to press. Now we are working on the website, and I expect it will go just as smoothly. If you're looking for a book publisher, give them a call.

Not a pleasant experience My experience was great for two reasons. 1. A finished product that is beautiful and 2. Ethan Rogers who took over the project and brought it to fruition. The experience was not pleasant from the beginning. There were so many communication issues. Ethan was the only saving grace. It was he that stuck it out and helped me through all the issues.

The truth is not in this company The truth is not in this company. This company does not stand by its word and does not honor its agreements. I made it clear from the very beginning how dissatisfied I was. The poor responses were acknowledged and followed with empty promises ("I will personally see to it....") After a year of problems (passed around to different project managers, different writing teams, poor writing quality, poor communication, etc.) and giving them multiple "second chances to make it right," I requested the refund guaranteed in their contract last fall. The company representatives would go silent and after a couple of months of pestering on my part, they would schedule a call to discuss the logistics of a "settlement" document. Then, the call would be canceled. The last call I received, during which I was assured that the matter would be resolved right after the first of the year, was in December. It of course was not. I could go on, and I am not the type to flame anyone, but after about two years, my patience is at an end. (If you look at the other unsatisfied reviews, this appears to be a pattern.) Their money back guarantee appears to be a sales ploy that they have no intent to honor, short of a lawsuit forcing them to do.
