GBThe Book I Was Hoping for in My Mind Had been thinking of documenting my military experiences for a long, long time. Finally put it all together... the stories and the pictures. Uncertain how to get it published (for family only) I came upon Gnome Book Writing. That's when I met Sheldon Benjamin. He took my material and created the book I was only hoping for in my mind. Sheldon coordinated with me all along the way straight to printing. Can't say enough. The final result was great. Much thanks to Gnome Book Writing!

GBGnome Book Writing a total Scam!! Someone from gnome book writing pretended to be part of the marketing team from the London Book Fair, saying she had seen my book in a publishing magazine and LBF wanted to represent it at their fair. She promised the following in an email: Here's what you can expect as part of our commitment to promoting your book: -Printed Copies: We will be showcasing your book with 50 printed copies available for sale at the Book Fair. All proceeds from the sales will directly benefit you. -Standee Display: A dedicated standee for your book will be prominently featured, ensuring that it captures the attention of visitors and industry professionals alike. -Representative Presence: A representative from our company will be on-site to passionately promote and advocate for your book. -Critics' Reviews: Your book will be under the critical lens of renowned book critics, and their reviews will be shared for added visibility and credibility. -Video Book Trailers: Dynamic video book trailers will be played on screens, offering a captivating visual representation of your work to a vast audience. -Literary Hub: Engage with over 100 seminars across various stages, including the Main Stage, Author HQ, English PEN Literary Salon, Literary Translation Centre, Tech Theatre, Focus Theatre, and the Sustainability Hub. -Marketing Materials: We will distribute book posters and pamphlets to authors and the engaged audience present at the venue, maximizing exposure for your book. I went to the fair and found that it was on a shelf with many others for translators to check to see if they’d like to translate it. Not at all what was promised!

GBMy agent Lisa was wonderful just by… My agent Lisa was wonderful just by being a good listener. She gave constructive feedback all the time and helped me to accomplish more than I can on my own. Also she was understanding to my circumstances.

GBDO NOT Use This Company DO NOT! DO NOT! DO NOT! Do not do business with this company. Incompetent, fraudulent and will not honor contract. Hired this company to market a Children's Christmas book in Sept. of 2021. The entire experience was a disaster. NO ONE knew what they were doing and right up to Dec. 16th, not one book had been sold or promoted as promised. As of Oct. of 2022, I am still trying to get them to honor their promise of a complete refund. They have not responded to text, email, letter, or phone. This company should not be in business. I will report them to every agency available to warn people. Update to the above: As of December, Gnome Bookwriting has proven that their word is worth nothing. After the original review, I was contacted and promised the completion of my refund IF I took down the review. I told them that I would amend the review once they completed the refund. Not only did they string me along with various pretend attempts of contact, but have not, to date, honored their word, I placed a complaint with the BBB and after several attempts to reach Gnome on my behalf - NOTHING. They wouldn't even respond to the BBB. Needless to say, they are not a member. People, BEWARE, this company is NOT legit. I will continue to press for my refund via any means necessary. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! They cannot be trusted.
