Great process and end product

I had multiple contacts throughout the experience but this did not distract from the quality of the process. I now have a beautiful book with a lovely cover type face and a well proof read and edited content. I am so happy with the final product and found push so very helpful and professional. Will definitely use them again.

At the beginning I was in a big delusion when I decided to publish my first book. There was many ups and downs to find the right publisher as I was trying to find a responsible and trustworthy publisher in the right time. Finally, I found Publishing Push Ltd to be my first publisher; who is reasonable price wise, trustworthy and responsible company who can keep its commitment without any dought. And because of this I literally enjoyed working with the company and the team; I can even say I am lucky to work with; because they are understandable, compassionate, keen and help full team to answer my different questions immediately without any delay. In general they are of high quality company. Hence, I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in self publishing.

Knowledgeable, professional and patient!

Publishing Push really know what they are doing and offer a very professional service. They are very patient with the many questions asked by a first-time self-publisher (me!). I was so pleased with the finished product (a novel called 'Sole Brethren: If The Shoe Fits' and am happy to recommend Publishing Push to other self-publishers.

The company have been excellent in…attention to detail.

The company have been excellent in every respect, and 'though my book was a specialist one in theology, they did a very good job taking me through the self-publishing process even if they didn't understand every bit of the content. Their treatment of me was always with respect and professionalism.

AVOID publishing push

The Project manager for my manuscript of "The Auction Room ----Spirits of the Mill" ,Benjamin treated me with disaine because I am dyslectic.When I said that the Proofreading was not up to the professional standard that I would expect. I have paid aprox.£1200 for the fist half of the package aprox. £400 of that was for the Proofreading and Copy editing. I had to really fight to get my pages proofread again there was a month delay. It still was not done properly. When it came back for me to review it I found that Google had picked up obvious miss spellings, grammar and double words etc, that proofreader had missed again. This was not acceptable. I was told "thats the way it goes with Proofreading" So I have decided not to go on to the next stage for which I have paid appox.£800. I have asked for a refund and they are refusing to refund. As far as I am concerned I have paid them for work that they have not done. I have tried to complain direct to Patrick Walsh the CEO. but have been fobbed off by Benjamin I would like this money back so I can pay to comlplete the publication of my Pages. I have invoiced them for the amount they owe me. If they dont repay it I am considering taking them to court.

I have now spoken with Ian and he has clarified that he took issue with proofreading. However, part of the issues were because the French in the manuscript had not been proofread. This is not something we offer to do not are we able to do as we focus purely on English and Ian was informed.

Proofreading has now been completed and I have reviewed all communication. Ben has remained professional throughout the self-publishing process with Ian.

We have offered to finish off the book for Ian as everything is ready to go. I am currently awaiting his response.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

(Update: Patrick has emailed me offering a discount on the next book I’m publishing after I made it very clear I have no intentions of working with this company again. I found his entire response rather insulting and the fact Patrick thinks a discount on my next book is a solution to the distress I’ve been put through speaks volumes. Patrick is now ignoring my emails. Complete scam.)

After reading some great reviews of this company I was so excited to start publishing with them. After reading all the promises of having my book published in just 10 weeks and all the other perks, 30 weeks later I still have no book, I’m £1,600 down and I’m both financially and mentally drained after this entire ordeal.

At every stage of publishing there was always an issue or a delay. The project manager I was assigned took weeks to reply most of the time, she would promise phone calls which I cancelled plans to wait in for, only for her to never phone and ignore all my emails for weeks until I had to reach out via the website application process where Patrick would contact me apologising but the same thing would happen again multiple times.

This is my first ever children’s book, which I’ve written and illustrated myself. I’m a professional illustrator with a diploma in art and design, graphic communication and illustration, so when I was sent back the book cover design publishing pushes “designer” created I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was terrible. After multiple times of having to decline the cover design my project manager ended up asking me to design my own cover, meaning I’ve paid all that money for a “cover designer” and had to do the work myself!

When my book was pretty much ready for publication back in September I had to order myself a first copy of the book, when it arrived it reduced me to tears. The quality was absolutely terrible, the pages were all in the wrong order and it felt like all the hard work was for nothing.

My project manager apologised for the error in layout and for the fact she hadn’t told me how thin the paper would be, knowing it was a children’s book I was publishing. Anybody who knows the most basic information on books knows children’s books require a much higher quality grade of paper, something IngramSpark don’t provide.

I spent almost a month waiting to hear back from my project manager and only 1 day ago I finally had a reply after having to reach out to Patrick once again via the website, I received an email from somebody I’ve never met before informing me my project manager actually no longer works there!!

I was completely misled, as once they receive the money they no longer care about your time, feelings or dreams of publishing a book.

I have no intention of reaching out to them again and would highly advise you stay clear if you value your time and your money. I’m incredibly upset I let them waste 7 months of my life, but it’s only encouraged me more to pursue my dream of publishing my first children’s book, this time, with reliable and trustworthy people.

We have now been in touch with Kirstin to offer a solution. I have also offered to get on a phone call with her to resolve this for her. She has not yet accepted my offer.

Hello Kirstin

Thank you for getting in touch about your self-publishing experience. I am dismayed at your experience with our firm.

A quick note is whilst my name may appear at the bottom of many of the emails that go out they are often automated and were not sent from myself.

I have now been made aware of your situation by your review and by members of my team. The PM that you had was let go from our firm for the reasons you have outlined above. There is no way your project should have taken this long and I would like to apologise for this.

We quote 10-12 weeks and are often on the shorter end of this. Of course it will all depend on how many cover revisions and other updates are requested.

I shall send you an email now personally and see how we can resolve this for you.

Thank you for bringing my book to life :)

This is Danni Stoker author of Marriage of obsession. I have had a fantastic experience with the team bringing my book to life. Everyone was so kind and always happy to answer any question i had about it. I had the lovely Gladys as my project manager and she spoke me through everything so i could understand each step and always made sure i was happy before the next stages. I could not be more thankful for everyone :)

Thank you, Publishing Push Team!

Thank you so much Publishing Push team for making my dream come true!

A big thank you also to my project manager Benjamin for supporting me every step of the way. I had several life-changing situations last year that meant I had to put my project on pause. Benjamin was understanding and once I was ready again he was great to pick back up where we had left things.

All members of the team listened to my vision relayed to them through Benjamin and the result is what I had always envisioned. I will certainly come back for my next book and will be spreading the word like confetti!

Thank you once again for helping people like myself create our dreams.

Publishing my first major book titled "Mourning:Finding the way forward"

I saw publishing push online and after reading reviews on the company, I decided to give it a go. I must confess that the company brilliantly delivered the production of my book with a high standard of professionalism. Starting from my first contact with Linda to Benjamin and Ivee, I received so much support and guidance. The reason I gave a four star rating is that sometimes there is slight delays/glitches and transfer from one project manager to another. Perhaps the company can work on ensuring one person manages a project throughout. Regardless nothing is perfect so I have already introduced publishing push to a friend. Thank you to the team for the wonderful experience. The

Hello Nnenna. Thank you so much for your review. It has been a pleasure to work with you and self-publish your book. We normally let one project manager work on the project all the way through to completion.

We had some staff turnover near the end of your project. We are moving offices and that has meant a few staff have moved on. We are also preparing to grow and help even more authors like you self-publish.

Looking forward to working with you again.

Thanks to Ben and team

Thanks to Ben, the proofreader Diane, and the cover design team, at Publishing Push for helping me to bring my story to a global stage. It is great to see my book "Beyond the Not So Iron Curtain" for sale online, worldwide! The setting up, and formatting, on amazon kdp, Ingram spark etc, is where your skills have truly helped make the difference. Could not have done this without you. thanks!

Strong Recommendation for Publishing Push

'The Balancing Act' is now published thanks to Publishing Push, and the book and cover look superb.

I've been really impressed with the support provided from Scott and Ben who kept me well informed of the progress on cover design, proof-reading and typesetting, throughout the whole process.

I will no doubt need to lean on them further as I get to grips with the KDP and Ingram author platforms, and I have no doubt they will continue to support where they can

I was delighted with the quick response to email enquiries. As well as the continued support from Ben at the publishing push team. I still need assistance learning the use of certain parts I don't know about. So I appreciate the continued help.
I have given them five stars as I believe that they deserve them. I look forward to working with publishing push again on my next manuscript. If you are looking to self-publish, I recommend these guys.
