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.

Archway doomed my book from the start I spent thousands to have a top line review of my manuscript and recommendations. Practically none were done. Only side notes like to “spell out acronyms.” Meanwhile my cover story was rewritten to appeal to a readers who watch soap operas instead of the legal and medical community. Archway even required that I write it as fiction though the evidence could easily be sourced for accuracy through the public medical boards and court records. Archway did everything to sabotage my book as they ran off with thousands of dollars and then asked for even more. I refused after that.They are a complete rip- off publisher. I may have sold a total of ten books in 5 years.

Helpful anad speedy responses. Every contact with my assigned "concierge" and other contacts at Archway was helpful, to the point and responses were speedy. I was amazed at the speed at which my book was on the market.

Archway publication process has been… Archway publication process has been excellent. The only problem I had was that editing takes too long. That is true for my first book and also for current second book. Publicity has to be aggressive as very few copies of my first book got sold. I tried to have my second book about half the size of first book, hoping that price of the book will be according lot less. But again, it is almost $30 for paper back.
