The editing and formatting process is finished

The editing and formatting process is finished and I couldn’t be happier. My book cover looks amazing and all of the editing that was done stayed true to the way I wanted my book portrayed. The staff that I dealt with, Melissa, Nathan and Jason we’re always very polite, available and had my best interest at heart. Very happy that I selected this company.

I chose Book Writing Pioneer for my Fiction Narrative, "Chasing Sunsets."

I chose Book Writing Pioneer for a fiction narrative soon to be published. Overall, the experience has been positive with a few bumps in the road. You must double check everything they do, especially the spelling and grammar. I used them to design my cover, and the AI they use is actually quite good. However, you must check every detail, and not trust them to catch it. They would often send me a cover to approve, and it was obviously not even close to what I requested. After six or seven revisions, we finally got there. It was my first experience with AI art design, so I learned alot. Although they say they are US based, that's simply not true in my opinion. I've not spoken to anyone there who doesn't speak English as a second language, and I don't have a problem with that- Just be honest. They are often slow to respond to emails, and forget getting them on the phone, but they do respond within a day or two. They fullfill their obligations to the project, but you must not be in a hurry. I've found them polite and very easy to work with. Both Melissa and Nathan have addressed my concerns and worked to get my project to completion. They are obviously handling multiple projects at once, so just be patient and you'll have a positive experience. I'd definitely use them again. They have built a very cost effective system for indie authors.

I have worked Malissa for a year now

I have worked Malissa for a year now. I had two other client representatives before her. I immediately realized that Melissa, had the ability to comprehend my wishes. I find alot of people that repesent customers listen but do what they want anyway. Melissa understood and shared my wishes and suggestions with necessary people and I appreciate her diligence. I have asked for her to be assigned with me for my Three writing projects this year.

Noting when credit is due

I have so thoroughly enjoyed working with Simon Akerson and Melissa Helga the past several months. One thing to note is they try their best to lift you up with encouraging words and not lead you into giving up your dream. I only have one complaint as I know everyone is in for making money and time is the essence but I feel often rushed to send money for my services and then, I know I am not the only client but I often get discouraged when their editing or proof team sends their final draft, it appears they don't look too close in making one last edit. I had problems with my first book, they had to revise and we had establish new ISBN # and then when we decided on the website, it took a bit more time to put items, I am still new to all this because I am not by any means a web developer, a web master, etc. but I was upset it didn't help with the sales of my book. Was wondering if we should lower the price and how can we come up with more ideas for publicity and everyone has been so gracious in explaining to me about the possible spam, etc on my social media but I need more assistance in adding to my Facebook and Instagram accounts. What is there left to do for me to increase sales, I see all these others posting their amounts, it makes me green with envy and jealous of the success. Am so hoping my next two that are pending can do better than the first did. Just keep working hard to make us all happy, is all I ask you to do.

Book writing Pioneer is a fraud

Book writing Pioneer is a fraud. I was sold a Gold package and nothing promised was delivered. They presented the company as a United States Publisher but I eventually was told they operate out of Dubai. They use American names as part of their fraud. My book was published on a self-publishing website. I get $2.07 per copy and it is being sold for $24.99-$30.00. I was told I would get $7.00 per copy. I was told the book would be published in 2 months and it took 10 mos. They took credit for the cover and I wrote all of the copy and painted the picture used for the cover. The only thing they did was pick the font. The printing copy was horrible. Two people I know who purchased the book had copy running off of the page. They tried to "sell" me an interview on a t.v. show for $5000. and a website for $1500. + monthly fees. I am sorry this isn't more positive but I do not want others to be taken by this company. I tried to talk to them and rectify the situation but it was only hours of arguing and no solutions. I bought my own book from them and was charged $24.00 a copy and no royalties. I recently bought my book on Amazon and it did not appear on the sales chart of the company that had been selling them. No sales since October. Where are the books being printed? I am no longer earning any royalties. BEWARE.

My experience with Book Writing Pioneer…

My experience with Book Writing Pioneer was one of complete satisfaction. The team handled everything with kindness and efficiency, making the entire process incredibly smooth. They were always available to answer my questions and encouraged me to reach out with any future concerns. The book jacket design was a standout- vibrant, impactful and exactly what I envisioned. Seeing the first draft come together was a highlight of the journey. I couldn't be happier with the service I received and would highly recommend Book Writing Pioneer to any author, especially those new to the process.

They don't rush the process to finish your book quickly; instead, they take their time to ensure excellent results. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking help through online services. As a first- time author, I was overwhelmed by the idea of editing my book, but the team at Book Writing Pioneer proofread it and made it far better than I could have on my own. I wanted to make sure my book was perfect before taking it to market, and they did a fantastic job!

I always wanted to write a book

I always wanted to write a book, but the process felt intimidating as a first-time author. This company changed that for me. The team guided me through every step, and my ghostwriter brought my ideas to life in a way that felt authentic to me. The final book is something I'm truly proud of, and I can't recommend them enough.

I loved the fact that I could just tell them about my story, and they took it from there. I didn't have to give a lot of information. I gave them guidance when needed, but overall it was very easy. I am very happy with their services. I am so glad that I decided to use Book Writing Pioneer to write my book. I am now a bestselling author! My book looks really professional and I have a huge fan following due to their author website.
