Great Team

Muaz, Zaid and the team at Aspire Book Publishing have been great. We've had our challenges, but issues have always been addressed promptly and professionally. I thoroughly enjoy working with the team, they always go above and beyond to accommodate me.

My third book published with Aspire

Ali, Zaid and the Aspire Book Publishers are so impressive and professional to work with. Their meticulous editing, book cover designs, formatting and professional conduct are unbeatable. They have published my third book and they surpass all the other large and small publishers out there, including majors like Random House, Scholastic and Simon and Schuster. If you haven’t tried Aspire yet, you need to. You can’t go wrong with them.

Publishing my first book

My book, Benjamin’s Captured Moments … Poems Embracing the Grace of the Holy Spirit turn out very well. My project manager was always understanding and cordial. The amazonbookspublishers turned out a nice professional product.

My experience was pretty good

My experience was pretty good. I had 2 Publishers working with me. They had patience with me and my lack of knowledge on the computer. They were both polite and helped with a sense of humor. I didn't like giving out personal information but it all turned out okay.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we truly appreciate your positive feedback and are thrilled that you’re happy with our services!

Just to clarify, some authors prefer to use a pseudonym to maintain their privacy, while others are comfortable publishing under their real names. Both options are completely valid.

However, in order to publish your book, most platforms require that the author profile is fully verified and legitimate. This is simply a standard procedure to ensure that your identity can be confirmed if needed in the future.

Rest assured, this process is in place to protect your rights. You will retain 100% ownership and receive 100% of your royalties.

If you have any questions or need further guidance, we’re here to help.

Very disappointing with this company


Very disappointing with this company! I would not recommend. You first talk to one senior consultant and then you get assigned to another one. Then sure enough multiple people call you and then everything gets construed and mixed up and confused. Then they really ticked off my illustrator, as they demanded the file numerous times. Then they sent me the book with the script over the book, so all my texts words were all on the pages and you couldn't read them in black and then white ink. Then they just deformed and distorted my illustrators images and then they finally got it right. They're making me go get my copyright certificate and they wanted in my KDP credential account and I refuse. Amazon said, don't do it. Then my bank card and everything's in there. They said they can't see my credentials like that but then they can per Amazon. So the book finally got send to me on yhe email. I'm asking just for a paperback,which I won't get unless I hire a boomnorinting company. Never again. Oh and my
senior consultant is very domineering. I won't lie to tell the truth for any review. All this was, was about the money.

Hello Michelle,

From the very beginning, it has truly been a pleasure communicating with you. You've been kind, thoughtful, and enthusiastic throughout the process. However, we’d like to share some important points for clarity regarding the recent challenges in finalizing your book.

When your illustrator was brought in to assist with the images, the dynamics of the publishing process began to shift. Unfortunately, despite having limited experience in publishing, he began to take control in ways that disrupted our workflow. This created avoidable delays and confusion for everyone involved.

One critical issue we faced was the refusal to provide source files for the illustrations. These files are essential for adjusting layout and dimensions, especially in children’s books, and not having access made it extremely difficult to proceed smoothly.

Your book has actually been complete for several weeks now. However, your request for us to publish the book under your personal KDP author account without granting us any access or providing the necessary credentials is simply not possible for any Publisher. Another standard route many authors choose is to upload the finalized files themselves, but that option was also declined.

Despite our continued efforts to offer support (even without additional charges), your illustrator continued to intervene, often misguiding you into believing that we could somehow publish the book on your KDP account without any direct access. This misunderstanding caused prolonged frustration, and eventually, you ceased communication though we’ve remained available and willing to help.

Regarding the copyright page, we asked for confirmation or documentation that your book is officially copyrighted, which is a standard industry practice to ensure legal protection and legitimacy.

As for physical copies, printing and shipping paperbacks always involve additional costs, depending on the quantity and delivery. These are either billed separately or included in specific publishing packages. Since you opted for our Basic Plan, which is designed to cover digital publishing only, no extra charges were applied beyond what you initially paid.

In all honesty, we believe this experience could have been much smoother and more enjoyable for both sides had there not been external interference. We still believe you're a wonderful individual with a lovely vision for your book, and it’s unfortunate that the process was impacted in this way by a third party.

We’ve successfully helped hundreds of authors publish their work, and we genuinely hoped this journey would be just as seamless and fulfilling for you.

Wishing you all the best moving forward, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you decide to continue.

Warm regards,
Team Aspire

Aspire Book Publishing was recommended to me by a fellow novice writer. At first I was wary and somewhat paranoid but the representatives, Dan and Jason were very professional and reassuring and helped me navigate this complex process successfully. In a couple of months my children's book was live on Kindle with Paperback versions available through Amazon! The cost was within my budget,
too, which is appreciated.

When I first signed on with aspire…

When I first signed on with aspire everything, Dan told me he was going to do for me he did it. He was courteous, efficient, and on point throughout the whole process if all your publishers, I like him I would recommend your company to anyone in quest of a Publishing deal. I even plan on Publishing another book With Aspire Because of him.

Bad News Company

5/28/2024
Aspire refuses to respond to my certified letters or telephone calls. At the end of last year, Aspire published my book and put it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble without advising ahead of time. I complained about the cost of the "third party" involved in marketing my book, and Aspire shut down. I filed with the California BBB and am not filing with the California Attorney General's Office. Stay far away from this company.

We are sorry to hear about your experience, but there seems to be a mix-up as Aspire Book Publishers has no record of publishing your book. It looks like this review might be intended for another company with a similar name. Please reach out to the correct company to resolve your concerns. If you need any assistance, we are here to help.

They Stuck to their word

When I first met Dan, he told me exactly what he could do for me and he did it and now my book will soon be published. Every time I brought something to his attention, he got right on it and straighten it out. He was also respectful and courteous. I plan to publish another book with y’all soon as this one is finished. I would recommend this company to anyone

Immediate response to author's questions!!!

I am a 76 year old social security recipient with limited computer skills. A Bully in the Closet: A Memoir of a Golf Widow is my first book.
As a new writer I was not able to go to a traditional publisher so I sent my manuscriot to a hybrid publisher. They wanted $4,000 plus $10 a photo. I had 338 photos in my book at that time. So the total cost would be $7,338. More than I could afford.
Then I sent my manuscript to another hybrid publisher who wanted $900 to read the book subject to a refund if not accepted for publication and a total cost of $2,500 plus $10 a photo. They were an affiliate of a major publisher. I reduced the number of photos to 120. The cost would have been $3,700. Still more than I could afford.
I began to get emails for book publishing from $199-
$499, but i'm a believer in "You get what you pay for." so I looked for a publisher who could service me for closer to my budget of $1,500.
Dan Miraz of Aspire Book Publishers gave me a contract that fit my budget with no charge for photos. He was very professional and helpful. In two months I had a published book which I am thrilled with. I highly recommend Aspire Book Publishers for all your publishing needs wt a reasonable cost. They responded to my many questions within 24 hours.
