Unbeatable Service! I have never experienced a faster and friendlier service from a publisher this big, and with so much to do. You really do make this experience as easy as it possibly can be. Thank you!

Lightning Source to Spark complete failure Total Spark database failure -- in an attempt to save money, we switched from Lightning Source to Spark, having had assurances that it would be seamless. It wasn't. Beginning on 5 March 2024 we tried to upload new covers for two of our books that we'd entered under the LS regime. Spark wouldn't take them, claiming "Imprint name already taken." Surprise! It's OUR IMPRINT THAT WE'VE BEEN USING SINCE 2011. But somehow, Spark's IT folks have been unable to flip the bits necessary to tell the Spark side that (all) our Saddle Road Press books belong to us. This has caused problems -- do I even need to say that email help has been, so far, useless? No answer, no fix -- and it's the 15th -- ten days of an unfixed problem. Two authors need review copies and we're unable to produce them. It's causing trouble. This is just nuts.

Error message of “mobile number must be unique” There was a problem setting up my account because it conflicted with information when I originally set it up in 2016. Despite several attempts to remedy the conflict, it still didn’t recognize my cell phone (unchanged since 2016.) However, once Zac stepped in to work on my file, he resolved the problem in one day. After 18 days of email exchanges, nothing was resolved until Zac took over. He gets a gold star!

Literally HORRIBLE customer service. Literally HORRIBLE customer service. 12 days, innumerable emails, still no solution. I saw the horror stories on YouTube. I tried going in with an open mind. They're horrible.

EXTREMELY INCOMPETENT AND DISORGANIZED These people are incompetent as hell. They have a billion different graphics that make no fxxx sense. Absolute incompetence is reporting sales! The team is unprofessional and unreliable, and they are extremely disorganized. EXTREMELY DISORGANIZED!!! Your sales reports are a total and complete mess. It is as if you don't know how to use your brains. It's like you people have no clue of what you are doing.
