The editing and formatting process is finished and I couldn’t be happier. My book cover looks amazing and all of the editing that was done stayed true to the way I wanted my book portrayed. The staff that I dealt with, Melissa, Nathan and Jason we’re always very polite, available and had my best interest at heart. Very happy that I selected this company.

I chose Book Writing Pioneer for a fiction narrative soon to be published. Overall, the experience has been positive with a few bumps in the road. You must double check everything they do, especially the spelling and grammar. I used them to design my cover, and the AI they use is actually quite good. However, you must check every detail, and not trust them to catch it. They would often send me a cover to approve, and it was obviously not even close to what I requested. After six or seven revisions, we finally got there. It was my first experience with AI art design, so I learned alot. Although they say they are US based, that's simply not true in my opinion. I've not spoken to anyone there who doesn't speak English as a second language, and I don't have a problem with that- Just be honest. They are often slow to respond to emails, and forget getting them on the phone, but they do respond within a day or two. They fullfill their obligations to the project, but you must not be in a hurry. I've found them polite and very easy to work with. Both Melissa and Nathan have addressed my concerns and worked to get my project to completion. They are obviously handling multiple projects at once, so just be patient and you'll have a positive experience. I'd definitely use them again. They have built a very cost effective system for indie authors.

I have worked Malissa for a year now. I had two other client representatives before her. I immediately realized that Melissa, had the ability to comprehend my wishes. I find alot of people that repesent customers listen but do what they want anyway. Melissa understood and shared my wishes and suggestions with necessary people and I appreciate her diligence. I have asked for her to be assigned with me for my Three writing projects this year.

I have so thoroughly enjoyed working with Simon Akerson and Melissa Helga the past several months. One thing to note is they try their best to lift you up with encouraging words and not lead you into giving up your dream. I only have one complaint as I know everyone is in for making money and time is the essence but I feel often rushed to send money for my services and then, I know I am not the only client but I often get discouraged when their editing or proof team sends their final draft, it appears they don't look too close in making one last edit. I had problems with my first book, they had to revise and we had establish new ISBN # and then when we decided on the website, it took a bit more time to put items, I am still new to all this because I am not by any means a web developer, a web master, etc. but I was upset it didn't help with the sales of my book. Was wondering if we should lower the price and how can we come up with more ideas for publicity and everyone has been so gracious in explaining to me about the possible spam, etc on my social media but I need more assistance in adding to my Facebook and Instagram accounts. What is there left to do for me to increase sales, I see all these others posting their amounts, it makes me green with envy and jealous of the success. Am so hoping my next two that are pending can do better than the first did. Just keep working hard to make us all happy, is all I ask you to do.

Working with Book Writing Pioneer has been an amazing experience and continues to be great. I'm very happy with the service I have received and I look forward to publishing many more books with them. Big shout out to Simon Akerson.

Book writing Pioneer is a fraud. I was sold a Gold package and nothing promised was delivered. They presented the company as a United States Publisher but I eventually was told they operate out of Dubai. They use American names as part of their fraud. My book was published on a self-publishing website. I get $2.07 per copy and it is being sold for $24.99-$30.00. I was told I would get $7.00 per copy. I was told the book would be published in 2 months and it took 10 mos. They took credit for the cover and I wrote all of the copy and painted the picture used for the cover. The only thing they did was pick the font. The printing copy was horrible. Two people I know who purchased the book had copy running off of the page. They tried to "sell" me an interview on a t.v. show for $5000. and a website for $1500. + monthly fees. I am sorry this isn't more positive but I do not want others to be taken by this company. I tried to talk to them and rectify the situation but it was only hours of arguing and no solutions. I bought my own book from them and was charged $24.00 a copy and no royalties. I recently bought my book on Amazon and it did not appear on the sales chart of the company that had been selling them. No sales since October. Where are the books being printed? I am no longer earning any royalties. BEWARE.

Dear Susan Gwin, As you have uploaded a review over Trustpilot this is a response to that so first and foremost, we regret to hear about your dissatisfaction with the services provided, and we take these matters seriously. However, there are some points that need to be clarified to address the misunderstandings. 1. Royalties and Pricing: The royalties you are receiving are directly linked to the pricing and distribution model of your book. The amount of $2.07 per copy is the standard royalty rate based on the self-publishing platform's terms. We want to clarify that royalties are not set by us but by the platform itself. When you purchased printed copies directly from us, no royalties were applied because they were not sold through the royalty-generating channels. 2. Rights Over Your Book: As a self-publishing service, we do not claim any rights over your book. You retain full ownership of your intellectual property. Our role is to assist with the publishing process, including design and distribution, but we do not have control over the content or future sales of your book once published. The royalties you receive are a result of the platform’s pricing and distribution strategy, not due to any involvement on our part in setting or claiming the proceeds. 3. Service Provided: We fulfilled the services as outlined in the Gold package you purchased. This includes the cover design, the publishing process, and making your book available for sale through reputable platforms. It is important to note that the royalty you earn per copy is a reflection of the platform's terms and the book's pricing structure, not our company's actions. Additionally, we do not take credit for the content, including writing or artwork, which you provided. 4. TV Interview and Website Offer: The offer for a TV interview and website services was made with the intention of increasing your visibility and giving you a platform to promote and sell your book directly. These services were entirely optional and intended to benefit your personal brand and sales. The website would allow you to sell books directly, keeping a larger share of the profits, and the TV interview was offered to raise your credibility in the market. 5. Publishing Delays: We apologize for the delay in publishing. While we understand that the timeline was longer than expected, the process involves several stages including quality control, design finalization, and platform approval. Please note that delays in publishing are common in the industry, especially when considering the complexity of book production and distribution. 6. Book Printing and Sales: Your books are printed via a reputable third-party platform, and we are not responsible for the physical printing or inventory management. The sales performance on Amazon or any other platform is dependent on a variety of factors such as marketing, visibility, and demand. As we have communicated, we are not responsible for direct sales monitoring on third-party platforms like Amazon. We value transparency and professionalism in all our dealings, and it is important to understand the publishing process in its entirety. We encourage you to review the terms outlined in your agreement and, if needed, seek further clarification. Our goal has always been to provide you with the best possible service and the tools to succeed as an author. We trust this clarifies the points raised. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out. Best regards, Team - Book Writing Pioneer
