AuthorHouse Reviews 986

This is the first time I've engaged a publisher to have a book printed & published. I found the whole process far easier than I expected. The AuthorHouse team I was connecting with made the whole journey an enjoyable experience.

Warning !
Total scam. Run, far, far, far way.
Six years ago in 2018 I lost 1,800$ buying their publishers packages
. Six different consultants worked with my book project . In 2023 the Editorial service didn’t finished my editing manuscript. Every time they were calling me trying to sell me unnecessary services .
The Author House
representatives
I were dealing for six years :
Leigh Allen
PRODUCTION
SUPERVISOR
Nolan Estate
editorial supervisor
April Roma
Raven Tan
May Johnson
Annabelle Mendez
All my book project
Coordinators

I started at the end of November/ 2023 my book editing with Nolan Estes & Editorial team, but they were nowhere to be found. I was emailing
& calling to check my progress.
Before paying I was called every day to buy a second publishing package again, again, again !
After paying & submitting my manuscript, so far no editor from Editorial has been assigned to my book project, and no more return calls. I was asked to submit my manuscript and relax enjoying the holidays,
not to worry about it. 

 I am not paying another 1,800$ (plus 299$ for front book cover design ) for Content Editing Plus (0, 046 per words).
It was promised a big Christmas 
discount which didn't happen. 

On 12/12/23 suddenly they cancelled my editing as a whole so nothing has been worked on. The final excuse was :
“We’re sorry for any confusion.”

My professional book editing project should be ready today after six weeks .
My order was cancelled & nothing was completed. This is not acceptable for Author house publishing scam proses.
I was just cancelled with no explanation given by email . My two packages of 1800$ deal was stop because of six years procrastination since 2018.
This fake company
should be reported all over to
worn a new writers thinking to publish their books .For six years I had enough with this publishing scam called Author House Publishing.

THIS IS A WARNING TO ALL AUTHORS: THE WORST MISTAKE YOU CAN EVER MAKE IS TO SIGN AN AUTHORHOUSE CONTRACT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD. ASK THEM TO SEND YOU A CONTRACT AND READ IT CAREFULLY, ESPECIALLY 6.1 AND 6.2. YOU WILL BE SHOCKED THAT SUCH AN EVIL CONTRACT CAN EXIST IN THE SO-CALLED CIVILIZED WORLD. I'M GRATEFUL THAT I FOUND OUT THAT THEY ARE THE WORST COMPANY TO DO BUSINESS WITH BEFORE I SUBMITTED MY MANUSCRIPT.

Writing the 2nd book was hard - but - publishing it with Authorhouse was easy! Very happy with the support throughout the process ... Thank you!

I initially stated that I wanted my book to be a size of 8.5x11. During the process it was changed to 6x9. I didn’t know until I actually ordered a copy for myself. I immediately asked for it to be reformatted. I have worked with several people since. Most do not respond in a timely manner. I have to send four or five emails before I get a response. This has been going on since October 2023. It is currently mid December 2023 and I am still waiting to approve the reformatting of my book.

Great experience from start to finish
Very professional staff
Timelines were very quick
Everybody knew his role
Really recommend author house to everybody

This was a life time dream to have my story produced. Author house gave me a product that has made me looking forward to working with them on further projects. I am very technically handicap, and with my limited resources authorhouse a given me a product that could make my limited technical tools make for a better story. Using an android phone I believe Ive create a book that will receive recognition and respect. It shows how when Talent is combined with technical expertise Art can go to other levels of communication.

I was treated badly over the phone by sales rep Beeler and needed to call his supervisor. The supervisor was very kind and solved the situation by sending three of my included-in-package books with no shipping cost.

This was my first publishing experience and the Authorhouse team answered all of my questions and honored all of the contractual agreements. They did a wonderful job of utilizing my graphic images for the book cover and the interior layout they proposed only need a few very minor tweaks. I have a second companion publication ready when the time is right and see no reason to publish elsewhere.

This company is great experience and very knowledgeable and helpful!!

i am a author , they puplished my book . The Legend of Kringle. the illustration came out great and so did the book no complaints.

The book was ordered and received very quickly. The impression of the book was fine.

Horrible, bad communication.

When I politely explained that I couldn't afford to pay for their publishing deal (And that theirs was the most expensive I'd gotten) he told me I'd never get published and hung up on me. Then I called another employee and told them what happened, she just tried to get me to do a deal with them too. Their customer service man I got through to was seemingly so fed up of his job. I got told Id be contacted by their manager to make my complaint - I haven't. I've scorched their 'reputation' online and got a response saying they'll deal with his manager, but ultimately this entire company is one big scam. Do not do it!!!!

Good results when asking for help to get books and other items.

I have already sent an email to Dana Scot that will explain my disgust with Author House. If matters are not corrected I will never use the company to publish my books. I had a third book I was going to submit, but now I feel never again.

The entire Author House staff was very helpful and cooperative. From Eve, to Lou and others in the marketing department, all helped me get my book published!

AuthorHouse is a very professional , well organized, dedicated publishing company. I recommend them to everyone !
