    I was very happy with their service as I had never published a children's book before. They were very understanding when trying to make payments and ran into personal roadblocks along the way. I would recommend them as an awesome starter into publishing and they have been very active in answering any questions that I may have.

    I have been working with Writers Republic for the past month and highly recommend them to publish your book! ******************************* and *************************** along with other Staff members have gone above and beyond to make sure the publication of my book was a smooth process which was launched on December 1, 2023 and available for purchase on their Online website. Copies will be available to Online Resellers like Amazon and ************** in 2 weeks in paperback as well as hardback cover. In the short time I have worked with Writers Republic, they have made my publishing experience as a first time Author a pleasure. I was always aware of what the next step was and what was to be expected. If I had any questions during the process, their Staff would always answer my E-Mails as soon as they were received. Their ******************* did an exceptional job with the colored glossy paperback cover which is meant to grab the attention of the Reader. If I complete the Romance Novella I am currently working on, I definitely will have Writers Republic be my Publisher once again!Posted 12/3/2023 by *****************

    They reached out to me online cause I published the rough version of my book on Amazon. I trusted them and they convinced me to publish my book with them and that they liked it and it has potential to be a movie one day.they said theyd help me put it in the library and bookstores. Which they successfully did. They were quick to answer and call me through out the whole process of me publishing. I paid all the packages, the book launch also paid the returnable etc. they assisted when it came for me to pay but once it was time to pay my royalties no answers. They ignore my calls and emails. ********************* was responsible for my file and hasnt help me. My profile on writers report did not upgrade through out the whole process. They claim I only made 60$ in total. Claiming I made 23 book sales and I sent them pics of sites who have 50 copies of my book available. Not only ******* has picked up my book but ****** and ****** and booksamillion even ******. I am worldwide. I took the initiative myself to market and promote and sold it all over town to libraries and its now in local bookstores. The rues now have them in on shelf and it created a hood thing cause the small book stores are grabbing it. I personally visit these places. ********************* and the staff of Writers Republic are avoiding me. I asked for a report of my royalties so I can have a overview of my sales. Im really disappointed I wrote this book for my nieces

    I published my full color images cookbook with Writers Republic last year in Feb 2022. A lot of things happened even during the initial offer but I let it all go because I was able to publish the book.I paid total **** cad which also includes the 1 year book insurance I bought which was a loss too. They claimed my book will go in the market in retail stores but nothing happened. I have always had issues with the update on my royalties. They have been cheating on the royalties. There is never an update and if I email I do not get replies easily. It's a constant frustration to know details about the sales. Because of this I tried even amazon ads since this March 2023 and I noticed how sales happened but they haven't even updated in the system. So this makes me wonder how much money they are stealing of mine. The lazy distribution officer writes one time saying that he will be getting soon update from the distributors on the sales and he is still sleeping on his couch. I have tried my best to be patient and calm but seems there is no way to get any response , I even tried other officers and they too have stopped responding to me. The only time these people will be available is when they need some money from us to invest in their scam plan. I will escalate this further if they will continue this unprofessional behavior

    I have publish my first book with this company, and the only credit I give here is that theyve published my book.Everything else have been a bit of a mess. Let me get straight to why Im writing my review on this company. They owe me money, and I have yet received a quarter of my royalties.Im not bashing them Im saying they should fire everyone there and start over, because the folks there dont take writers work serious. Theyre only out for the money which we all are, but when its time to pay whats owed, they have no idea how to get that part done. They will send you an w-4 tax form to fill out, but will not follow up with you after that. I to the point where I have to further on with legal action. To collect all royal from them and their third party vendors. Its been almost 3 years and I havent seen a *****.
