Shop is here btw :) horrifictales.co.uk/shop/

Yeah, i am so happy with them. Now I know the quality is good, I'm gonna get a few more designs done

Shame I couldn't find a more attractive model, mind

Came across this article on Kindlepreneur that came out a few days after I parted with my cash. Definite scammers. kindlepreneur.com/books-by-rev...

Yeah. Not the end of the world but irritating. No shortage of scumbags out there it seems

Yeah, am annoyed at myself for falling for it. Shall make it my new hobby to ensure everyone knows they are scammers. Already messaged writer beware and posted on kboards.

3 weeks later and nothing. Their support line is just a chat bot. Their alleged guarantee is a joke. Couldn't tell you what their print quality is like, whether they pay you on time or any of those other things. But I am assuming none of those things will be good either.

To put it in context, a 300 page 5 x 8 paperback would cost $4 per unit more than Ingram would.

I contacted them and told them I was cancelling my subscription. I got an automated bot response that directed me to their "100 day guarantee" with a form I needed to fill in to apply for my refund.

So, I opened an account, paid the subscription fee and started working through their tools. To be honest, their toolsets were quite clunky and difficult to use. However it was not until I set up the first book that I saw the first real problem - their printing costs were astronomical.

Their sales pitch was that you pay zero commission to them and keep 100% of your royalties minus print costs. Their costs were covered by an annual subscription fee of $200 USD, which they had reduced to $99 as an introductory offer.

See, now that just bumped your book right up the TBR list ;)
