Publishing Push Reviews 311

It is with great pleasure that I have been requested to write a review on publishing Push, so here is my candid view on my experience of publishing my first book with them.
First, I should explain that I am completely blind, which can have some unique pitfalls.
As you can imagine, I initially contacted them with extreme trepidation because it was a whole new experience for me, and I did not know what I was heading into.
I was then pleasantly presented with a totally can-do attitude by their representatives and a step-by-step guide into the world of self-publishing which filled me with great confidence.
There were quite a few hiccups along the way, some of which was sometimes their lack of contact with me and others were down to me and my lack of experience in the field of publishing a book.
Overall, I totally miss judged the length of time it takes to get a book published and was often emailing them to find out what was happening but as time evolved my confidence grew in their ability to produce a very good result.
The end result is that I am extremely happy with my new book and I salute Jasmine and Benjamin for their due diligence and for bearing with me on this epic journey.
I will publish again with them and I look forward to it now that I know and understand the process much better.
Thank you to the whole team at Publishing Push.

Great people keeping a complex process very simple for the novice authors . Communication all the way through the process . Will use them again

I have now used Publishing Push twice, and on both ocassions they have proved to be extremely professional in every aspect of my journey through self publishing. I can't praise them highly enough, particularly Benjamin, whom I have worked with twice. His professionalism, expertise and patience are limitless! In a self publishing world full of scams, dodgy deals and rip offs, any would be self publishing author can rest assured that they are in very safe, professional hands with Publishing Push. Look no further!

I would happily recommend Publishing Push to anyone who, like me, wants to fulfill their dream of having a book published but hasn’t got any idea about how to make it happen.
Communication was prompt and clear, each step of the process was carefully organised and I am delighted with the results.

Process was very professional with plenty of tutorials to help me through from Proofreading to publishing. A little frustrating that all queries were handled on email only so often had to wait 2 days for a response.
Overall, very efficient and pleased with end product.

I found generally helpful, but one thing I found rather wasteful was being asked to watch video link and complete questions there only to get email a few days later asking me to respond to the same questions, so duplicated information and effort!

Excellent and professional service. Thank you for making a dream come true. Would highly recommend to all self publishing authors.

I had written a book and did not know what to do with it. I was like a baby who was learning to walk and I was afraid and anxious about putting one foot in front of the other. But excited at the same time. Benjamin you made me find my rhythm. And Publishing push team I thank you. You got me. And you identified with my struggle and you supported my efforts to become an author. Thank you Patrick for taking the time to read my book. I am blessed. The name of my book is called POSTCODE EXX

Thankyou Publishing Push! So very grateful to Holly, Benjamin and all the team at Publishing Push for helping me bring my book 'Rhyming Tables with Timzi Tiger in Tigerland' to life. They helped make the publishing process easy and hassle free (especially for someone like me who is not very tech savy!) as they do it all for you!! They always responded promptly, professionally and helpfully to my questions. I will definitely use them again to complete this series of educational books.

Second time publishing a book with Publishing Push, and absolute amazing service again. It's been a pleasure working with Ivee along my publishing journey. Definitely a stress free process and I'm so thankful for all your hard work!

They did a really good job. I am happy with the final result.

I don't know the company as publishers, I know them as an employer, the attract the freelancers and ask them to do difficult tasks, then they don't pay them.
I am really surprised by their way collecting money from people!

My children's book 'Jack finds his yawn' finally arrived seeing the hard copy made me appreciate all the hard work Ivee and the team put into my book. All my questions were always answered and any delays communicated. The whole process was made easy by Ivee from start to finish. Go buy Jack finds yawn for all your kids and see for yourselves.thank you Publishing Push

My children's book was published a few days ago. Having now received the finished product in hard copy, I can honestly say that Publishing Push have exceeded my expectations. I am thrilled with the result. Benjamin has been organised, patient and kind in helping me realise my dream. Finalising illustrations was a lengthy process but once Benjamin started working on my project he took the time to listen to what I wanted and helped source the right illustrator. The words and pictures fit beautifully on the pages and I am so glad I chose Publishing Push rather than attempting the process on my own. I have a much more polished product and so far it has been well received by its audience. Thank you Benjamin and the Team at PP.

Impressive, that's the word to sum up Publishing Push. Decided to self publish 'Facing Surgery, Don't Be a Scaredy Cat' but didn't want to wait an eternity for some publisher to decide it was worth a punt. Now in no time at all my book is available globally. As a journalist I didn't require the editorial service, but it's there if you need it with PP. The expertise and advice was there to call on and PP were speedy to respond to my queries. Thanks to Ben. A job well done and I recommend their service. Now pick up a copy of my book, especially if you're facing surgery! Alan Charnley

Hello, my name is Leigh Snowdon and I have now Independently self-published my own book called "A Quiet Strength" which is a Book for kids of 10 years plus about climate change.

I initially signed up with Publishing push because of the sales pitches both on line and over the phone, I will condense this down because there is a lot to say but the main points to be aware of are as follows,
• For your fee of roughly £2400 please be aware that the "project manager" they assign you does not read your book so in my view this means they are not fully invested the project especially considering the above fee requested for the package.
• Publishing push told me after the initial fee that they "are not a marketing company" so you will be more or less on your own with that as well.
• In my case the covers that were designed were extremely poor quality (in one case there was a spelling mistake) they deviated massively from my ideas and vision for the cover I felt this was really careless work, it felt like production line kind of mentality.
• Publishing push do not like to communicate over the phone so you can only leave messages in the hope someone will call you back, which is rare and they are sometimes slow to respond to e mails.
I decided to request a refund within the 14 day cooling off period after spending £1200 on the initial fee, I requested this due to the poor communication and the poor standard of the cover work I was sent, I received only half of my money back which is extremely questionable in my view, I was sent some substandard editing work which was only half finished and the covers were completely unusable.

If you feel in your heart that the quote from publishing push is very high? then my advice is go with your instincts and go it alone, I was able to pick myself up and start again after losing the considerable sum of £600 to publishing push.
I then spent £250 on an editor then £200 for formatting and used a freelance cover designer for £125 all of which was done to a far higher standard than Publishing Push were able to achieve, so a total of £575 to publish my book independently a book which I am proud of, when you compare this to the £2400 or so you would be paying Publishing Push for a potentially poor standard of work. (this figure is based on 42,000 words)

Amazon KDP is really easy to use and I found the whole process of going it alone more rewarding please do not be scared by this process it is not as complex as you might think.
Carefully consider the price difference I have detailed and go it alone is my advice, I just don't want anyone to lose money in the way that I did.

Good Luck

This my first published novel. It's been a lot of hard work, research and effort to get the recipe right. Years of construction that has come together over the last few so was a bit cautious who I sent it to.
The Publishing Push team guided me every step of the way and were very helpful giving individual attention to details and very patient. They are very professional in all aspects of their work.
Publishing Push are the right way to go if you want satisfaction.
Thank you ALL at Publishing Push.

After I sent my manuscript to push publishing I found everyone to be very helpful during the first stages of publishing. It was sometime afterwards that Benjamin appeared on the scene. He guided me so well during a very difficult time in my life. He also gave me great guidance regarding all aspects of the publishing procedure for which I am most grateful.
long life and prosperity to push publishing.

Excellent services, very professional and quick turn around time during entire process.
