I regret using them as my self publishing venture In my opinion after using Archway publishing I have arrived at a dead end. I had some really horrible experiences with their team. They are really expensive with a lot of dead ends. I would never use them again. I am sorry that I fell for all the hype that ensued after my first phone call to them

Publishing through Archway was very expensive Publishing through Archway was very expensive. My book was a children's story in need of illustrations. The illustrations provided by Archway were poorly done, and I only had 2 chances to make corrections. My suggested changes were ignored. The drawings did not meet my expectations.

Author of MISS Teacher Interrupted First I dealt with Duane Johnson, President of Archway. He congratulated me for being an author. That made me feel very excited! I dealt with so many wonderful Archway employees, Andre Trent, who helped me get my manuscript sent in, Tim Fitch was also very helpful, and always returned my calls and emails quickly. Aaron Hurwitz was very nice, and would be a great marketplace member for me. Hanna Nate was also very helpful for me. The editorial group was excellent, and did a great job, Nolan Estes was also doing a fine job for me. James Bauman was also helpful getting me my books.

Archway Publishing came through big time! Archway helped me to publish my first novel, and I couldn't be more pleased. Faye was my concierge, and she was wonderful! She responded to my inquiries quickly; encouraged me to keep going when I began to drag my feet; cheered me on; and made the whole process easy. I purchased the line edit and was satisfied and grateful for the finished product. The cover design team was top shelf. So far, the response to my cover has been overwhelmingly positive. The print-on-demand softcover is of a higher quality than I anticipated. I'm planning on writing a sequel and will definitely choose Archway Publishing again.

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.
