They are complete Rip off Artists

They are complete rip off artists. Do not use these people. They took over £1,000 off me and NEVER EVER EVER did the work. I have been chasing my refund for 10 months and they have never refunded the money. I am actively trying to get them off the internet (because they do not have a UK address)!! have reported them to the police. Please do not use these people. There are better publishers out there, you will be ripped off. The positive reviews they have are written by them. Namely Rizvi and his gang. Don't do it!

if there was a zero rating they would…

if there was a zero rating they would have this. They offer the world and deliver nothing except false promises. We had 3 managers for our sons book and what should have taken 2 months is now on its 8 month and still no further forward. Its everyone else fault apart from Beacons writing.

If I could give NO star I would

If I could give NO star, I would. Finally, I got back the money for research that was not needed and partial payment for publishing that I stopped. My bank sent after them! I could not get the £1690 for creating my book through my mistake, which they did about 4 hours of work on. They lied about copywriting it, too! They are a con and will pressure you to pay upfront. DO NOT work with them....you will regret it!

Completely Disillusioned

I've been left completely disillusioned by these scamming batards! This was my first book to be published and all the love that my illustrator and I put into "The Giraffe and the Scarf" has been betrayed by folk looking to make a quick illegal buck. Avoid at all costs and use the templates on IngramSpark, Kindle etc to publish yourself instead.

Amy does not work for the company and…

Amy does not work for the company and left, was only there 2 weeks as they are scammers the people doing positive reviews are friends. She left as they were taking money and not doing what they promised. They are based in India. Ignore emails and won’t refund me. When I get my money back I will stop reviews until then…… I will continue warning people…… Albert is a fake, Amy hasn’t worked there when most of the reviews were done which makes it more hilarious and proves they are false reviews.

This is an incredibly shady business

This is an incredibly shady business - stay away at all costs! They will forcefully upsell you on package after package and demand increasing fees without ever having delivered what is promised. They promise editorial reviews from the New York Times editorial board and instead, was provided an unknown review from no-one. They said they were thrilled and excited about its potential, confident in its sales, etc. I purchased the elite publishing package in September 2023. They spent months and returned very little. Additionally, I was upsold several times very forcefully, "registration fees", "split your book into two books", marketing... etc. Do not trust, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. SEEK OUT A LEGITIMATE PUBLISHER with a reputation, save yourself the money and disappointment.

Very quick and efficient

I was astounded by how Beacon Book Writing transformed my simple story idea into a compelling book that resonates deeply with readers. Their skill and dedication are truly remarkable.

I was very impressed with the turn…

I was very impressed with the turn round each section and the response to questions.
Perhaps the only minor criticism would be the limited editorial input, when it comes to syntax and the 'read'.

But i am extremely happy that we managed to complete the book and have it printed on time.

This is a ghostwriting scammers company…

This is a ghostwriting scammers company based in India. They are not UK based and all of their claims are entirely false. They take money and don't fulfil their obligations. They are listed on the fake book publishing website. Do not use!!

Beacon Book Writing are Not based in UK. They are based in India and are Ghost Writing Scammers.

Beacon Book Writing are not registered at Companies House UK. Check for yourself at Companies House UK in their search bar for Beacon Book Writing, you won't find them! They are 'GHOST WRITING SCAMMERS and are based in India. Stay clear of this company. If they offer you a money back guarantee, you won't get it back for the shoddy work they do. No matter how much they promise you, they will not be true to their word. You will never be 'highly' satisfied with these ghost scammers, especially from the beginning, because there will be no end!

Cold calling, data harvested details used to sign us up?!!

Received a random cold call from this company that asked for me, I wasn't available at the time. A minute later a spam email received claiming to have signed up to it, I've no idea why as we are farmers? Unsubscribe link at bottom of their spam email doesn't work. I have reported this company.

Professional Manuscript Editing

Beacon's manuscript editing was very useful and initial cover design impressive. They were always helpful and professional. The editing of the cover could have been easier.

Rizvi

Rizvi, beyond being the wordsmith, also championed the promotion and printing aspects. The result? A smooth, personal touch that transformed this project into a memorable journey. Kudos to the team of Beacon Book Writing for turning this dream into a reality!

My book has hit Amazon

My book has hit Amazon, thanks to the dynamic duo - Rizvi and the Beacon Book Writing team. Rizvi didn't just write; they orchestrated the promotion and printing too.
