My first book. My first book is in the hands of Amazon Publishing. I wasn't sure who to go to or what I needed to do. Amazon Publishing kept coming up when searching online. The chat box came up and I decided to just find out some information. I ended up signing up with them and I have not been disappointed. They have been up front about costs, and they have been very helpful, taking all the confusions about how to publish a book. They have worked with me and answered all questions.

I looked at this site a day or two ago… I looked at this site a day or two ago and then looked at the reviews. There was one on here that sounded pretty concerning and now I notice it's been flagged for inaccurate reasons. Seems like a good idea to be cautious dealing with this company.

A friend of mine who was attempting to… A friend of mine who was attempting to publish her book through this company had an extremely negative and challenging experience with them. Proceed with caution for sure.

Beware of this "Organization" They (Ethan Gallagher) "sold" me an advertised $349 "special" for $700 and then the next guy (Alex Daniels) wanted $1,500 more. I am still not sure this "company" is an Amazon company or just trading off the Amazon name. I asked for a refund and they said it had been "processed" but a week later it's still not in my account. Fool me once, shame on me. Double check your URLs. I then found Kindle Direct Publishing at Amazon and was able to publish my book in both eBook and Paperback--totally free. KDP (your mss has to be print ready, which I love) is MUCH better.

Be careful of the team you are assigned with Amazon Publishing Labs! My experiences with Amazon Publishing Labs are mixed, and I will explain. I’m 74 years old and I wrote my once in a lifetime book, poured my heart and soul and lifetime experiences into it. I searched different publishers and decided on APL. I was assigned Sophia James, who is a sweet person, but her team lacked talent and she was very poor on quality control or oversight! I sent in suggestions and when it was returned, the same problems existed, plus others. Her editing and art department team were literally terrible! I eventually had to do all my editing AND art cover design! I paid for services that I had to do myself! Eventually, I was assigned George Carter, who stepped up and he and his team did a fantastic job! If I was just reviewing George and his team, they would get 5 stars for sure. However, my 3 star rating is due to the overall experience and the fact that it took THREE MONTHS to get my book published! I poured my heart into the writing and my initial experience caused me stress and angst and took some of the enjoyment away. Had I been assigned George and his team from the start, it would have been a more enjoyable experience!
