    On 04/05/2022, I signed a contract with Writer Cosmos to electronically publish my book on a number of retail platforms. Not only did they fail to make my book available for sale on a number of promised platforms, but they also failed to return to me the electronic source files used to publish my book on the platforms that they did. Their work has been shoddy and I had to correct their proofing both during the preparation of my manuscript for publishing and even after they had published. I tried to contact numerous times on the above issue over the last two weeks without any response. I would either like a full refund (based on the contract guaranteeing full satisfaction - or - publish my book on all promised platforms so they are available for sale and return of all source files (manuscript and front/back book covers) to me.
