Publishing Push Reviews 

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.

(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.

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 :)

5 stars from me :)

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.

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

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!

'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

My manuscript is now published
'Not Just a Poet'
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.

I am really happy to choose Publishing Push to publish my book after scrolling through many publishing resources. Throughout the publishing process, the team was so helpful, professional, and dedicated to their work. From the first few days I was very reassured that my book is in good hands and I have made the right choice. Thank you very much for your honesty and dedication and I will recommend you to more authors.

The introduction to this service was wonderful and Kim and the production team have been great in producing a lovely book of my late mother's experiences in the second world war though the proof reading was not without its problems. My project manager has sadly left the company and I am left with someone disagreeable who refuses to sort out a couple of problems I am having.

I had been working with Publishing Push for more then 1 year and published 2 books. They are a lovely team, very good, kind, helpful, supportive in all ways and made my experience amazing.
Looking forward to publish more with you.
Thank you to all team for a fantastic experience.

An amazing company who did everything they promised and more. The book they produced for me is of the best quality and available as multiple retail outlets, something I could have never produced on my own. Very thankful to all the team at Publishing Push for all the hard work.

I loved working with these guys. They helped me every step of the way. Professional, knowledgeable and fast. My first book was finalised in weeks and the editing was perfect. I highly recommend Publishing Push.

I came across Publishing Push having extensively researched my options for finding the best publishing service provider for my first book.
Working with Stacy and the team proved to be an incredible journey into the unknown. Guided by her every step of the way, we reached our final destination having produced a book that is just the beginning.
My gratitude to Publishing Push for their expertise and great support.
I shall definitely work with you again in the future!

It has been a pleasure to work with Publishing push in creating my first book. They excelled in understanding my requirements with attention to detail. There was an excellent swift service and amazing input. I thank you for making my dreams possible and for your incredible hard work, guidance and integrity.

I enjoyed working with Publishing Push with my first ever published book about my illness.
Every step of the way they were forthcoming with advice and guided me through the whole process a bit at a time.
I value their help and the many video tutorials shared to help and encourage my book writing.
I am very pleased to say Warrior Princess Undefeated - My Life Living with Cancer is helping those going through cancer, and others to understand more about this disease.

I tackled this illness with a positive attitude and keeping to my end goal of writing this book to share my quite personal experience with the world, and it already is proving to serve its purpose as a fountain of information to cancer patients.

Thank you, Publishing Push for making this book a reality in helping me to tell of my truthful experience and to spread love and hope to others.

This was my first time writing a book. I was a bit anxious wondering how it would all pan out. It was a great experience working with the team at Publishing push. There was always clear guidance at each stage, with a willingness to listen to my ideas to make my dream happen. Thank you for your enthusiasm for my bakery recipe book and bringing it to print.

This is Tony Wilson the author of Pigeons Do Talk. I thought the initial contacts were excellent. The cover design of the book 10/10. My original contact left the company. There was no real phone contact about the project and extras like twitter etc which I did not understand. I feel it would be better for them to interact more by phone rather than the faceless internet. On the plus side they did the job as originally quoted. Overall, I am satisfied but they have room for improvement.

I can’t thank them enough. Publishing push have been excellent in all they do. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Some of the best customer service I have ever received. So much so, I feel I have made more friends, especially Gladys for dealing with my bombardment of emails. Thank you so much and here’s to the next book.

The element of surprise dissappears when doing this electronically and I'm very much old school.I also have serious mental health issues. However as it has been very difficult to speak to you personally I will let you know this way. Scott(in Spain) has been supporting me throughout the process of putting my book together and getting it published. I have very limited IT skills and as mentioned, issues mentally. Scott has gone way over and above what he needed to do in order to support me and has been a pillar of strength, nothing has been too much trouble for him. As an ex HR manager of a very large department I was always ready to redirect my staff were it to be necessary but I was also always ready to praise my staff when it was appropriate. I don't own a smartphone and have never been on any social media platform and yet Scott has risen to the challenge. Scott has been an excellent ambassador for your company and well deserves your praise. Many thanks Marty
