My experience with Amazon Publishing My name is Betty Bockoras. My friend, Nora Brickel Wilson and I worked together in writing, "Mama's Gift." After we finished, I was faced with the problem of where to get it published. Then someone referred Amazon Publishing. Problem solved! Still, I proceeded carefully. I had been taken advantage of by a previous publishing company with a different book. They had charged me ten times what Amazon was charging - and with unsatisfactory results. But Amazon proved to be the real thing! They assigned me a "Project Manager," named Mark Bennett to work with me. He was very patient and kind as he answered all my questions, and there were many. First he guided me through doing the cover and then the story, with nine pictures inserted. I am very pleased with the finished product, which is now for sale on Amazon.com, both paperback and eBook.

Really happy with Amazon publishing… Really happy with Amazon publishing company’s work! The whole team were a great help during the whole publishing process. Great job Zach, Ryan, Kevin and Co!

A very pleasant Journey indeed! It was my pleasure working with this team. Self publishing is a challenging project. However, the team circumnavigated through the formatting details, which are substantial, so I didn't have to spend weeks figuring out the process. Ted's response to questions was swift and always helpful. I recommend Amazon Publishing wholeheartedly.

Really happy with your proofreading Really happy with your proofreading, editing and formatting services! Highly recommend! Thank you Zach, Ryan, Kevin and Kacy.

Don't waste your money This nightmare began on 2-28-23 with a phone conversation with Clyde D. Smith, a phone salesman for Amazonpublishing profs.com. He told me that for $199 Amazon would produce a book cover (front and back), format the book and sell the book on Amazon in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats. (For a short limited time only.) (I never received any of this in writing.) After paying my $199 was assigned my first of three Account Managers. He lasted less than a week and was involved in an accident, and my second Account Manager was assigned, and he lasted two or three weeks before they replaced him with my third Account Manager. I was contacted again on 2-28-23, to tell me that they would have to have another $299 for formating, proofing, editing, and formating. I argued vehemently with my then Account Assistant Jennifer Stark that I had already paid for this. She insisted that I did not. But I had no paperwork to support what I had to say, so I paid the additional $299. Then Jennifer became my third Account Rep (she later told me that I was only one of 500 accounts that she was overseeing. I have been fighting with her now for the next five months. I'd send an email and two to 10 days later I'd hear back from her. I received a number of proposed proofs from her. I read them as best I could, but the were so literate and full of misspelled words, mixed up names, and impossible to make heads or tails of what they were saying. It took me more than eight attempts to get them to get the spelling of my name correct. I am not exaggerating when I say that this proofing looked like it was done by a third grader, and clearly not anyone who had English as their first language. That I finally just gave up on it and told her to just publish the damn thing. I wanted my book to measure 4 inchs by 7 inches, but I was told that wasn't possible. (Even though I have owned and do own hundreds to 4 X 7 paperback books. ( They also kept sending these emails in formats that I could not open.) Anyone considering publishing via amzpublishingprofs.com should not expect to deal with anyone that is not a foreigner. The final straw was when I was notified that my books would NOT received Amazon Optimization unless I paid another $1,800. I said no. My book has been live since June 27th, and I have not had even one sale in that time. I only gave them one star is because there is not a negative number of stars available.
