Online Review

A historical fiction author hired Author Book Publications to edit and publish their book on Amazon and IngramSpark. The team also handled the book's marketing and social media management.

Author Book Publications failed to deliver on their promises, leaving the client disappointed with the project's outcome. The team mixed up the client's book with others and didn't execute any professional marketing activities. Author Book Publications didn't respond to the client's complaints.

The client submitted this review online.
