Initial Publishing was great about 10 years ago. Several re-orders over the years were fine but now I can’t reach anybody to print more books for me to supply my mom and pop bookstores t

I've been trying to get more books published. They won't return my calls.

It has been months. I'm beginning to think I will never be able to get any more printed.

Very Displeased with Bookstand Publishing

Bookstand Publishing, in my opinion, is bogus.. They rarely return calls and never paid for sales. I would NOT ever recommend this firm!

About to publish my third book with Bookstand

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

So far had no problem. I hope it remains that way.

They seem open on what they wish to sell you. No surprises at the end of publishing like so many other campiness do. Would like to go the distance and publish my third novel with them.

Tell you the truth publishing with a lot of these self publishing campiness's is very bad but so far with bookstand it's alright. We will see.

Greedy.. could care less about your book

Bookstand Publishing - Greedy.. could care less about your book

Where do I begin. They find ways around paying royalties.

They dont post your sales report timely. My book sales for $12.99, I get a dollar a book , but only if I sale over $25. If not, they keep the royalties. Ive sold over $1700 for them but have only received $150 in royalties.

I had a book event and bought books in bulk. They didnt get my order in on time for my event so I had to cancel and stuck with a pile off books. They didnt want to take ownership and after practically begging , instead of a refund for my shipping, they offered a discount for future orders! They have no concern for the author!

The main concern is soaking up all they can from sells. They dont return calls.

I wish I had chosen another company. They suck and are greed driven.
