DO NOT GIVE THEM A DIME

i was extremely excited to get my poems out in the open and have them be transformed into something tangible, however when directed to the website to create my book, it wouldnt even let me type. not a single word. i reached out to the "company" and have heard nothing back. first and last time i'll ever be scammed.

At a comfortable pace I could compose…

At a comfortable pace I could compose and publish 25 poems. Farida Khan the publication consultant was always in her job in the background. Mujtaba Feroze Shah made excellent illustrations and Roosha Debnath gave very useful suggestions while proof-reading. The formatting errors which remain are entirely mine, there are not many; I notice editing of 2 words as well as decreasing all line spaces by 1 will improve readability, and I am much relieved that I can make these changes at this stage i.e. two weeks after the book went live. Thank you for a delightful publication process..

My experience with @bookleafpublishing…

My experience with @bookleafpublishing is extremely bad. After taking rhe money rhe response is poor and multiple followups are required. After publishing is gone case. No news on sales or royalty. They just disappeared. Feeling like I have been scammed. Multiple mails no response. No phone or any other contact

The Writers Challenge UK England

I have had a good excused for other flyers and a also a terrible experience with this. First of all my applications of jotform were lost to the process. It was a huge concern as I ended up with lost images and basically having to reset my own typesetting and record by my private accounts in cloud which cost me more in the long run. However after three books published I have been able to use it to recap my learning development and provide a few slim volumes. I have yet to recover any contact with them since the last books publication date and two manuscripts in further books are still missing. However I quite like the little slim volumes. I have sourced my ability to put my books to another placement of availability in the wider impacts on it being something. I want to complete my collections in a whole series. I'm still awaiting a threshold to passage on the renumeration of payment. I never actually received my author copies, authorised sales never sit accurately and as yet I am not recieving a payment from sales assistant my own FSA will not entertain their paye as a safe service client handler. After a message breach of data and loss of earnings from the wider project I set down I would like Bookleaf to make arrangements to improve their paye for book sales and the statistics that I can see for my own bookkeeping. I'm a little disappointed with some aspects. Very polite people mostly when they do respond yet I would like to keep my collections as my own style and in the same format. I would appreciate also someone from The Bookleaf Publishing Company for Authorisation and Author relations to get in touch please because I want to ask how to deter the predators that sold me out and exploited for 25p a copy when the books effectively retail at £8.99 per book. It is a very good service if it runs smoothly yet the experience has not been as enjoyable as it might of been. Its sad but if I do not hear something soon it's likely I will explore new avenues for publication production. Very interesting experience yet I do not want to be misunderstood. I am wondering how to explain this to my bookkeeping as this huge expense has also caused damage to my other copyright. Be careful on processes and applications. Otherwise an interesting experience in writing development. Can someone get in touch with me by email please at Bookleaf?

Bookleaf are questionable

Bookleaf are questionable. I had issues at the beginning, the book took 9 months to publish with them ignoring my requests. Then I saw it was live they never told me. Excuses and incompetency from the person assigned. Recently I looked on Amazon its taking months for delivery of the book. I asked for my money from sales.They tell me they cant pay me because I don't have Paypal. Told me to open a Paypal account. I told them that Paypal are not very hinest people so I closed my account because they failed to keep my transaction safe and I was owed money. Thus far no money back at all. The books is way overpriced. People show an interest but when they see how small it is and the price they decline. I was warned they were scammers after the 21 day writing challenge.This is not what being an author is all about, They caused me nothing but trouble alas, Avoid. Do KDP at Amazon it you want to be an author.

Less than 1 star

Less than 1 star. Scam artists. Not received a penny for my book. It disappeared from publishing and then suddenly reappeared with no way to contact them.

I didn’t know they had my book…

I didn’t know they had my book published in different places. I never received a link to receive payment. None of the emails they used worked. They say my email isn’t in their site for them to send a password reset.

Scam. Avoid at all costs.

I had a book published by Bookleaf as part of a writing challenge. Progress was incredibly slow including getting any information from them. I have had several sales from people (clients and others) and yet a year later no detail or information from Bookleaf on sales, or royalties that are due to me. In all honesty it's a bit of a scam.
