First they wanted me to go back and… First they wanted me to go back and change the names of people in my memoir. Then names of companies. Then publish as anonymous. A memoir . They were afraid of being sued. These people are dead, in the public domain or from 30 years ago. Got my money back as my husband is a lawyer, otherwise their agreement would have allowed them to keep it. Wasted 6 months. New publisher published book without a question.

Quality Printing, But Modest Support I knew what I was getting into and wasn't expecting too much. They did a good job formatting the book and doing all the stuff behind the scenes to get it listed in Amazon, B&N, and make it available in catalogs. However, don't fall for the marketing add-ons. They send out press releases, but there's no follow-up. In short, there's no guarantee or real effort to try to get your book reviewed or in stores. Maybe I had a poor marketing rep, but they only did the bare minimum and were never proactive. I always had to reach out to them. It's not a scam, but there's not a ton of value in what they claim as marketing.

Thanks for all you have done in publishing two of my books. The third one will be in process in a few months. Thanks for making me smile in the final productions for both books. The old saying the third time is a charm. JH

Little things mean a lot In general, the experience was okay. However, a question I asked about empty pages was not answered correctly. Little things like these mean a lot. The printed copy has empty pages that could have been used. I also missed a typo that I want to fix.

I haven't received a royalty check… I haven't received a royalty check since 2021. However, Archway Publishing has received over $5,000 in sales from my books. Customer service is horrible and haven't been supportive in helping me. The manager is currently on vacation, however I have yet to be paid for my hard work.
