Writercosmos Reviews 148

Janet Millar was there for me every step of the way; publishing and marketing my book SHADY ENCOUNTERS. Also Brian Wilson was exceptional when I had doubts regarding reviews. He graciously put my mind at rest.

5 stars - 6 if it were possible, here, above. From my first dealings with, initially, Kathryn Davis, then, for the rest of the publishing of my memoir, 'The Academy', with Brian as my contact enabler & advisor, I had my book, any questions I had on the publishing process, fielded very civilly, professionally, humanely and with humour. Writer Cosmos, in the person of Brian, were always available via email or telephone, guiding me through the whole process from my corrections to my ms. being successively updated right through to my final selfverification with Amazon, which can be complicated. I would unreservedly recommend WriterCosmos , with dedicated staff such as Brian , to any aspiring author.

Oh! how wonderful. I have no words to explain my experience with this team at Writercosmos. to say the least, I was thrilled, overjoyed and surprised. How can all these nice people be found inside the same company. First I Janet. and then she introduced me to Alex and then the rest of the crew members behind the scene. It was like a competition one wants to out nice the other as I meet them. When I say that they are nice, I am serious about it. It is my first time, I did not no anything about writing and they took me in, and helped me publish a book. I never thought that I can publish a book in this life time. Janet, Alex and the crew members, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Remain blessed.

Writer Cosmos have been amazing at bringing my book to life. It was a massive leap for myself to trust a company on the otherside of the world in realising my story. They kept me updated with weekly updates sending the pages across for me to read and sign off. Attention to detail and taking notes from myself ensuring it is kept to the truth, they listened and took on-board everything this book was about. I cannot recommend them enough they have been fantastic

Janet Millar and her team are exceptional in their work. They pay attention to what I want and no matter how many alterations I make in my MS it is not a problem for them. The cover design is superb, eyecatching and pertinent to the book content and the editing was absolutely spot on. I thoroughly recommend WriterCosmos to everyone who is thinking of self-publishing.

I entered into an agreement with Writer Cosmos in good faith, expecting a professional publishing experience aligned with what was presented in their package.

While initial communication was responsive, the process quickly became challenging, once I declined the upsell of additional services. The core issue was a consistent gap between what was communicated and what was ultimately delivered. This included concerns around editing quality, production consistency such as formatting, and alignment with the agreed scope of services.

Despite multiple attempts to clarify expectations and work collaboratively toward resolution, I found the process increasingly frustrating and time-consuming. At several points, additional services were suggested that I did not believe were part of the original agreement.

What is important to highlight—especially for first-time authors—is the emotional impact of this experience. The ongoing uncertainty, lack of alignment, and repeated friction created a level of strain that, at times, made me question whether to continue with the publishing process at all. For someone bringing a deeply personal manuscript to life, that kind of experience can be discouraging.

After a formal escalation process, identifying a breach of contract, Writer Cosmos did issue a full refund, which I have received. I appreciate that this matter was ultimately resolved from a financial standpoint.

That said, the experience required significant time, persistence, and careful documentation on my part.

My advice to others:

Ensure absolute clarity on what is included in your package before signing;
Get all commitments confirmed in writing;
Be cautious of post-agreement upselling for services you believed were already included; Stay within your budget and do not be lured in signing additional agreements that are vague and too good to be true;
Keep detailed records of all communications;
Be mindful not only of the financial investment, but also the emotional investment involved in the publishing journey.

For authors considering this path, due diligence upfront will save considerable time, stress, and frustration later.

They did what they said they would do.
It worked out great and I'm very pleased.
My book is doing very good indeed.

I am very happy to endorse Writer Cosmos led by Vincent Layton (Vice President) for their excellent work preparing my three books for publication.
I have fully depended on Janet Millar for her skills in managing the process who has kept in close contact with me by telephone and email at each stage to completion and publishing my books. Janet's help, support and advice have been invaluable and always available.
Constructive criticism during editing by Mary T have helped me redraft, with additional explanation, thereby assisting the literary impact and purpose of my books. All the way through Writer Cosmos have been very careful to preserve my approach to what I had written. The design, layout and arrangement together with the images which the design Team have placed in the text demonstrate the high quality of their work especially the Cover designs.
The excellent pictorial representations designed by Maria James and her Team have captured the essence of the books impacting the direction of marketing and advertising.

Working with Janet Millar and her team was a most pleasant experience. They have helped me with two of my books. Janet answered each question, no matter how trivial, quickly and sufficiently with everything I needed to know. She was very patient with me and she and her team, to include Alex in printing, are the best!

As an extension of my previous review: Writer Cosmos is always very communicative and helpful, particularly my project manager, Brian Wilson, who has served as an intermediary between me and everyone on the marketing team and everyone else involved in the production of my book, ensuring what I ask for makes it through and is fulfilled. Information is conveyed clearly, and a thorough job has been done on manuscript revisions. WC has also offered flexibility and discounts where these fit, and has been thoroughly worth the money. They have stuck with me for the past 14 months on my project and will continue to do so as I advance, with plans to take my book to many exciting new levels.

The personal touch was evident throughout. The feeling that I mattered beyond the contract was lovely to feel. The help I received when I ran into technical difficulties with author verification was outstanding. Hats off to Janet, Alex and the rest of the team! They will hear from me again next year.

I have found Writercosmos to be an organisation that truly places its authors' needs at the forefront of what it does. They have provided me with an excellent service at every step in my journey as a new author, from editing, formatting and book cover through to the final steps of publishing. I want to mention Janet Millar and Vincent Layton, who have been incredibly supportive of my books and have provided excellent suggestions for improvement throughout the writing process. Their kind attention has kept me motivated during times when I may have otherwise given up.

I have no hesitation in recommending Writercosmos and wish them ongoing success with their work.
Thank you Writercosmos.

“Verdé: The Birth of the Others”
“Verdant: Leaves without Flowers”
By Vanessa Prichard

I'm published!

My thanks go out to Janet Miller and Alex Paul.

I will most certainly use this service again.

After contacting WtiterCosmos, unlike similar publishers, they were pro-active straight away with showing how my manuscript would look with slight editing where needed. Based of a draught of the first few paragraphs.

Janet was always available by email to assist me and work as the link between me and the editing team.

The editing team, I believe led by James, took on board all of my own suggestions without delay.

Overall, my experience working with them was very satisfying, and I am pleased with the final outcome of my manuscript that is now ready for publication.

My experience with Writecosmos was very smooth journey. The team helped to make my dreams one true. The material they used was rich. Thank you all for job well done 🙏

Brian Wilson, my publishing manager, has been excellent in advisory capacity on everything from proof reading and editing to publishing with Amazon KDP. Helping me to price my new book, Riverwood Adventures. He found me an illustrator called Victor Lunn Rockcliffe who has brought my book to life with amazing illustrations. Brian has been with me every step of the way and i cant recommend this gentlemans services enough. I would recommend Brian and Cosmos to everyone. Regards Gerald A. Smith

I thought there might be a language barrier. I speak Southern US. Being my first book, I was sometimes lost to the reality of what makes a quality book. Brian Wilson did an excellent job in guiding me. To have the best book, you must be patient. Brian kept me grounded and on track. He is truly an asset to his company and deserves kudos for a job well done.

To Janet , and the unknown Editor, both of whom , did a patient and understanding publishing job with my book " I Am Living In You"
The Cover design of my book is eye - catching and colourful ....Thanks so much ....much appreciated .
With Lots of Love , Joe Livingston (Author)

I am pleased with the results from Janet and crew. They truly work together as a family unit ensuring one's instructions are carried out to the letter! I have had 3 books published and 1 at present being edited for future publication. Hence, my reason for continuing with Writercosmos in other books I have ready to be edited & published!

I am a normal working guy ,who started writing a few chapters for my friends on facebook ,and I thought hey why not get it published properly, I sent it away to writer cosmos to see what they thought , they loved it and said it had great potential , I had no confidence , and doubted my ability to write a book, people like me just don't write books,being honest , i did not have a clue how to start.
Brian Wilson my publisher ,(just saying that sounds great!!) reassured me all through my journey , there were times I felt I had bit off more than i could chew, But Brian, kept telling me not to stress , and let the experts sort things . When ever I was struggling I contacted him and he always got back to me, although he must have had lots of authors to sort out I always felt I was important to him. I'm pleased i went ahead with it
