  My experience with writer's republic was overall a positive one. they helped me get my book published quickly and efficiently. this is my first time publishing a book, and I am very excited about it. it is a major milestone in my career, not to mention my life as a whole. I would recommend writer's republic to anyone in the science-fiction and fantasy genre who wants to get their work out there. everyone i worked with was pleasant and helpful, and seemed personally interested in my work.

  I made my first book, and I used Writers Republic. The Editors were the best, they worked hard and fast, and gave me a great quality turn out. I can't wait for them to publish my next book. Thank you Writers Republic.

  I wish I checked here before I hired writers republic. Now that they have my very large some of money, no one is contacting me. I still havent received my order so Im assuming neither has anyone else thats ordered from their site. Also the free books that were supposed to come with my package. Do yourself a favor and find someone else. They are great with communication until theyve gotten all the money they want from you then they ignore you. Ive emailed 4-5 times on this matter and before I got a response almost immediately. Now I dont. Im very sad and disappointed. I trusted them with my baby and nowcrickets. Marketing talks you up but its just flattery to get more money from you. Find someone else!

  I have also had the experience of being scammed. I had on two occasions, my order changed without my consent all the while telling me I would have other services. I wrote two books, but I published the first one. I decided to re-publish my book as I had more of my story to tell. I decided not to use this publisher again, because they kept adding charges onto my order without delivering anything different. I was then contacted and told that if I publish the second book with them, they would give me a two book offer meaning I would pay for one, and be able to publish two books. I thought this was a good deal and seemed like an ******* attempt to win back my business. However when I decided to publish my book, they told me that professional editing was no longer free on my free book, but that it would cost ****!!! OK, so what's free? This was the first time I was scammed. They told me when I published the one book of the two book deal that my publishing package would be the same as the first. This was another lie. When my book was published, it did not go to Amazon with an ebook like the first one. Now everyone knows that almost the entire planet buys ebooks, and most people use Amazon, so I was very frustrated by this. I would not recommend coming anywhere near this business. I just hope they continue to supply my book like our deal stated, but I'm not sure about anything anymore. STAY AWAY!

  Dear ******,We sincerely apologize for all the trouble we have caused you, but we would also like to thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. This gives us the opportunity to further review your concerns and help you achieve your self-publishing goals more effectively.Please know that we contacted the concerned departments responsible for the services, and per the publishing team, you have been informed about the services for your two books. Your publishing consultant was able to discuss with you the inclusions under each package, however, you made some changes to the second book when you received another offer from a different publishing company worth $6000 that included editing. This was even verified by the finance team before we changed the inclusions in the package. We believed that your publishing consultant had sent you updates on this matter.We hope that we were able to assuage any stress that you may have felt during the publishing process. If you have any further questions, please contact **. We are more than willing to help.

  My relationship started off good with this company. It was just a one time payment of making my book, publishing it and then light marketing. They made my book look amazing and how I wanted it to! Then after it was published, it's a whole different company. The "light marketing" is no marketing at all, and they use generic words to explain different packages of marketing they offer. Detailed information? None. Getting a hold of your marketing team? Good luck. At one point they even charged my card $1500 WITHOUT my consent for a marketing thing I never agreed to. It took me two weeks to get them to refund my money, they kept trying to talk me into just leaving the payment and going through with whatever the marketing was. They do come through on some things, my book is returnable and is on sale on every website there is you can buy books. They did a social media release where I only gained 100 followers on Instagram, and mostly from my own reels I created. I also paid for book influencers on social media to promote my book. I have been asking for a month now, who are these influencers? I have not gotten a straight answer on this, just that it is currently on going. Honestly the whole time working with them it feels like you're getting scammed, but then they come through on a certain aspect and you feel better, but then right away feel like you're dealing with a fake business again. It's an odd relationship, and I would just tell you to move on and don't publish with this company.

  Dear *******,Greetings to you!Thank you for taking the time to write a review, and we sincerely regret for any miscommunications that occurred while the services were being processed. We followed up with the Marketing Fulfillment Team, who advised ** that the social media book campaign is still ongoing and being worked on. Furthermore, management has already escalated this matter in order to expedite operations. Please take into account that marketing a book, and creating a fan base takes time and effort, so it is difficult to get results right away. As of now, we'd like to ask if you could give ** a little more time to get better results. Rest assured, you will receive email notifications on the progress updates of the campaign.Please don't hesitate to send ** an email or call directly for other concerns. We would love to hear from you directly so that we can settle this matter internally.

  Thank you for the perfect reply to demonstrate how your company works. It sounds promising and accurate, however it is completely untrue. The marketing team has not contacted me since I went through the egregious ordeal of getting the refund referenced above. Also, I know the social media campaign has ended because I was sent a form to sign, acknowledging that your company executed and finished my whole book tour; this was confirmed on February 1st, 2023. I would also like to add an update on the social media promotion of my book. The average number of followers of the few "book-fluencers" that promoted my book... was 6.

  Not satisfied with my services with Writers Republic, they're a complete rip-off. I trusted them and they stabbed me in the back, people work hard for their money. They charged me a lot of money to publish my book and still trying to charge more money just for them to build me an author's platform. I already paid them a lot of money. Why do I need to pay more? They took my book review off their website so that people can't review my book. Then blame ****** for it, I mean come on how are people supposed to sample the book when you took the preview down? Their services are whack, they're a complete rip-off, and watch out they will say that you only have a certain amount of Royalties like your book is not selling when ot is. Writers Republic needs to be shut down before they regret something for the rest of their pathetic lives. Do not publish with them, this is the first and my last ??????

  Dear ******,Greetings!We regret any inconvenience this may have caused you. As much as possible at Writers Republic, providing excellent services to our customers is our top priority.In accordance with the services you've ordered, we have fulfilled and completed the services based on the inclusions of the publishing package and this has been communicated to you via several emails and phone calls too. Again, the preview has been blocked by the system since the content has been considered as explicit. This has been confirmed by ****** Customer Support as well. As for the Marketing Campaign, since WR also provides numerous marketing services to boost the book's online exposure, it is our job to let you know about the services that could be able to help the book reach its full market potential. However, these are only OPTIONAL, in other words, marketing services are NOT mandatory, and no marketing services were purchased on your account.That being said, we apologize for any stress that you may have experienced during your self-publishing journey. We truly believe that any self-publishing venture should be enjoyed, and it saddens ** that your experiences were stressful. Rest assured, we will do our best to alleviate your struggle.

  My underaged daughter contacted Writers Republic, because her dream was to get her 10 page book published. After finding out there was a contract signed, and she was going to be charged $*******, I had them refund the money letting them know that she was a minor and the contract is nonbinding. Then after she turned 18, they contacted her again and Sold her up for another $*******, for one book and and tried to charge her another ******* for another book. After finding this out again have asked for another refund. My daughter is very naive and got taken advantage of. She submitted her book, and now we have are ******* and no book! I am still fighting for a refund. They also mentioned if we don't go ahead with this they own the rights to her book! This company is unethical, and should not be selling young girls their business and taking advantage of someone who doesn't know how to make logical decisions. Also they never had her sign a second contract after she turned 18, and are going by the contract she signed when she was a minor which was voided and money refunded to us. My daughter is an olympic athlete for Team USA and used her own money! 10 pages for ******* does not seem right. I am not happy, and there has been some huge miss communication bc my daughter is scared to get involved where there is disputes. I am hoping this company will do the right thing and refund my daughter her money and not use her material.

  Dear *****/*****,Greetings!Thank you for the feedback, and we apologize for the delayed response as there were already been some internal negotiations between the author and Writers Republic.First of all, the publishing service was purchased way back in January 2022, and per our contract that was signed by the author, the refund timeframe is 60 days from the sold date. This was indicated on the agreement form that the author signed. The marketing services are optional, which means they're not mandatory, but of course, we wanted to offer them to the author to maximize the book's potential, but we NEVER guarantee book sales.That being said, we apologize for any misunderstanding that *** have occurred. Our main intent was to make your daughters dream of self-publishing a book a reality. Sadly, there were some misunderstandings that occurred that made operations difficult. Rest assured we will do our best to salvage the situation and make her self-publishing journey worthwhile. We will be glad if you can reach ** back and/or respond to our emails/phone calls so we can settle this matter internally.Again, thank you for taking the time and we'll be happy to assist you in any way possible.
