DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

I have been waiting 6 months for them to straighten out a problem. Their company should have been in touch with KDP to apply the monies I had earned so far. They never did this. That means any monies due me I will not get because the original problem was not resolved. Extremely bad service. Not professional. Also my E mails to all three original contacts keep returning to me; indicating those people are not even there any longer. A lesson learned by me.

NO. Don't do it!

NO! Do NOT USE THEM! They will tell you everything you want to hear, but they do not follow through. I had two books, one was published at my pestering 1.5 months later than my contract, and the other never got published. Project managers did not respond, book covers crappy with 0 vision, I paid for 1 month of marketing and that never happened. They try to upsell you all kinds of things. Stay away, seriously. Note, they also go by: Project Camp and Amazon Publisher Hub.

The good

The good, the bad, the ugly… American Book Services shows everything on your face; they never hide your lacking. Rather, make you embrace them—and learn from them. The best part for me was that I got trained during the entire publication process.

They are very good at what they do

They are very good at what they do, I have sent them my book to edit and they did a fantastic job. I am really pleased with the edits and the speed with which they completed the job. American Book Services were very helpful and prompt to my questions about the process

Their book cover and illustration services are top notch, I am very satisfied with the final copy of my book and I will recommend their services to everyone else. I can say with complete certainty if you are looking for experts to create amazing visual wonders and design your book than you should be contacting these guys. They have so many expert individuals working with them and know how to please a client.

I can't say enough about the team that helped edit and proofread my book. The attention to detail was remarkable. I sent my manuscript to other companies and could not get an accurate estimate of cost and timing. When I spoke with the people at American Book Services, they gave me full disclosure and were very upfront about how their process worked. If you are looking for someone to help you create a bestselling book, then I recommend that you hire these guys.

American Book Services transformed my rough manuscript into a polished bestseller! Their ghostwriting team captured my voice perfectly, and their marketing strategy got my book on Amazon’s top 100.The editing, cover design, and promotional support were flawless.

After a bad experience with another publisher, I was hesitant to try again. American Book Services restored my faith. They handled all the technical details so I could focus on writing. Their distribution network got my book into more stores than I expected. So grateful I found them.

The way I see it

The way I see it, spending on the services of this company is nothing compared to the time and money I would have to waste if I were to try to do my own book. I was able to find a solid team that would work with me and go the extra mile. I am now happy to be able to present my first book and I'm proud of it.

The rates were affordable and the turnaround time was good, but I'm glad that I didn't listen to my gut feeling. The final draft of my book was better than what I expected. They gave me enough time to review the entire project and provided me with the changes that I was looking for. Best experience I have ever had.

Thanks for doing such an excellent job on my book. I was not sure how it would turn out, but it turned out better than expected. I am very happy with the final product and will be using American Book services again in the future. My book was published today and I am extremely thankful for their assistance.

I’ve been writing

I’ve been writing, proof reading, formatting and publishing my books for years, so trust me when I say, I wasn’t that keen on getting outside help. Yet, when I tried it out, I was amazed to find how much better my books looked and read after I had them professionally proofread and published.

If you’re looking for a bad review

If you’re looking for a bad review, don’t bother. These guys helped me publish my first self-help book, and now I have six best sellers. If you’re a first timer looking for someone to help you with amazon optimization, or editing or formatting or literally anything- you’re at the right place. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for this American Book Services.

I had a deadline from my coauthors end and didn’t know what to do. Working with a deadline is tough, and most publishing companies don’t adhere to the \deadlines you give them. However, this particular team changed my mindset about the publishing process in general. I perceived publishing as a tiring ordeal. Now, I look forward to publishing because of how convenient they made the whole thing feel.

Their support has been invaluable throughout my time as a first-time author. Because I knew I was in good hands, the fear of publishing and putting myself out there as an author faded away. The experience I had with American Book Services was invaluable, and I suggest it to any aspiring author.

Run CLIENT, run

Run, don’t walk away. Credit card-wise, this seems to be a DANGEROUS BUSINESS. This business appears to be linked to the book-writing business Your Project Camp” AKA American Book Services, AKA Marketing Notch, AKA Native Publishers. American Book Service claims to have no connection to this company. It gives no legal rights to use the American Book Service name unless it tries to dodge its responsibilities. MARKETING NOTCH LLC 570-2037071 VA US If a deeper search is done by someone familiar with scams, I am sure that their entire operation can be exposed coming from India.I entered a book publishing deal with the company mentioned above. This company has no experience and maybe experimenting with publishing or looking for a quick buck. I had to correct many mistakes this so-called company made. I finally gave up and demanded a full refund, and I am waiting for it. Anyone who uses a name from another legal name without their permission is encroaching on their rights as a person or business. This business admitted that it does not edit books.This operation is based in India, which should raise a big RED FLAG. India may be a beautiful place to visit, but the government does nothing about scamming professionals in that country. Being a third-world country does not give rights to crime. REMEMBER MARKETING NOTCH LLC 570-2037071 VA US - THIS PHONE NUMBER SHOULD BE DELETED FROM THE PHONE SERVICE FOR FRAUD.Marketing Notch LLCScranton, VA 22192US - 570-2037071 VA US is not American-based.

I gave the rating a 4.0 although should be a 4.5

I gave the rating a 4.0, although if I could I would rate them a 4.5. The overall team consisting of me, my project manager (Jenika) and her team, were pretty much cohesive and overall worked well together.Jenika did a good job at listing to my detailed instructions and making sure her team responded effectively. I would use ABS again if I needed a service like that.
