Stay clear of Prime Authors Prime Authors will keep saying that they will publish your book only if you pay them more money. It was frustrating dealing with this company, I would stay away from Prime Authors. I paid out thousands of dollars and still did not get my book published. When they called me back they said if I pay them $2000 more they will publish my book. I will not pay any more money, I guess I just wasted my money for nothing. I am real saddened by the whole thing.

Disappointed If you are thinking about having your book published, steer clear of Prime Authors. While I did eventually get my book published, it cost me way more than I dreamed. I could have gone with other publishers and paid half the cost. And they never did fulfill all they promised or come through on all I paid for. And as much as I paid they still wanted more money, even though they had not fulfilled what they promised to begin with. My advice is to stay clear of Prime Authors, there is no way you will ever sell enough books to recoup the money you invested. They talk a big game but didn’t produce what they promised, and asking for a refund is a waste of time. In the end it is not the author’s best interest they have in mind but in draining your pocketbook without fulfilling all they promise. March 27 - It seems Prime Authors has relocated to FL according to a website. One would have better luck getting milk from a bull than to ever have this company fulfill all the promises they make for the money you spend.

Do not do business with Prime Authors! Do not do business with Prime Authors! Searching the internet for a memoir publisher. I inadvertently contacted Prime Authors, Inc., believing it was Amazon’s Book Baby site. I spoke to Kevin Brown who, when asked if they were the Amazon company, said they market through Amazon. That’s technically true but didn’t answer my question. I got the “expiring discount” spiel and made a down payment of a “refundable” amount of $500 to hold the discounted rate. I later learned that I would not get physical books but they would provide editing, proofing, indexing and marketing of an e-book. This was not what I wanted, so I asked to drop out of their program. I got a sales pitch and finally we agreed to draft a binding contract to supply me with books and at a price competitive with Book Baby’s print-ready rate. Kevin actually produced a draft contract with all my requirements except it was attached to an email that stated I would owe $6490. In various conversations with Kevin (I was never assigned to an editing team) I have gotten estimates of cost ranging from $2,940 to 6,490. I got a huge run-around when I indicated that the contract, if negotiated, would only require me to pay a total of $1,000. I am certain they never intended to honor the contract.

Chad was very diligent Chad was very diligent at keeping me informed of the progress on the web-site development project and I was very happy with my interaction with him. The web site design that Prime Authors produced was adequate for my needs but not exceptional. The Prime Authors organization is rather opaque. Some of the web-hosting options that they offered were over-priced and I decided to find another web-hosting service.
